On the seventeenth of March,
to the city of Agua Prieta
people came from everywhere;
Relímpago and El Moro came to the races,
two top horses.
El Moro by Pedro Frisby
was from the town of Cumpas,
very beautiful and very light.
The Lightning was a bay;
He was a prize horse
of his master, Rafael Romero.
When they were walking the Moro,
he looked so pretty
that they started betting.
All the people said
that that horse came
especially to win.
Checks, bills, and pesos
was left over from Cumpas
on Sunday morning.
In the afternoon, the bets
went over one hundred thousand pesos
in that Copacabana.
They took advantage of the bet
ranchers and ranchers,
workers and peasants,
bartenders and waiters,
friends and visitors
from surrounding towns.
Frank and Jesús Valenzuela
covered fifteen thousand pesos
with Romero's chestnut.
Puyo Morales said,
âIt seems to me that with El Moro
they earn all the money from us.â
Trini Ramírez was there
also Chendo Valenzuela
walking the horses:
two belt runners,
two seekers of success,
both were good roosters.
Finally they gave Santiago,
and El Moro came out ahead
with the intention of winning.
RamÃrez hit the chestnut
and about half a taste
he left El Moro behind.
Leonardo Yáñez, âEl Nano,â
Composer of the corrido,
he apologizes to everyone.
Here the doubts are over
he lost the brown water chestnut
and the cumpas moro won.
