El General y El Sargento

Rosalino "Chalino" Sánchez Félix (30 August 1960 – 16 May 1992) was a Mexican singer-songwriter. Posthumously called "El Rey del Corrido", he is widely considered one of the most influential narcocorrido singers of the late 20th century. He was an initial pioneer in Mexican music.

En un pueblito olvidado
Hay una tumba escondida
Que nadien ha visitado 
Aunque parezca mentira
De un general retirado 
Voy a contarles su vida

Trinidad era su nombre
Y Reyes su apelativo
Sabia manejar las armas 
Al ritmo de sus gatillos
Muchos perdieron la vida
De eso Parral fue testigo

Con ordenes de arrestarlo
Mandaron a Luis García
Solo con flores me llevas
Y fata ver todavía
Quien de los dos necesita
Las cuatro velas prendidas

García en silencio quedo
Pero al momento decía
Antes de ser militar
Las reglas ya conocía
Perdone usted general 
Esta es su vida o la mía

Se miraron un momento 
Todo en silencio quedo
Y el general al sargento 
Por el cuello lo agarro
Todo paso tan violento 
Que unos de los dos cayó

Solo un balazo se oyó
La bala zumbo en el viento
Reyes quiso disparar
Pero fallo en el intento
Muerto cayo el general
Fue mas veloz el sargento
