Don Nacho nació en la sierra y se crio bajo los montes 00:16
Muy apenas fue a la escuela y aprendió a escribir su nombre 00:24
La vida y aquellos años así formaban los hombres 00:31
Le gustaban los caballos y en Rayón puso su cuadra 00:39
Y también tenía un ranchito que con mucho amor cuidaba 00:48
El cielo le mando un hijo con la mujer que él amaba 00:55
Pero el hijo se fue un día a buscar mejores cosas 01:04
Luego se trajo un caballo del Valle de Maricopa 01:11
Y allá en Rayón lo corría del arroyo hasta la loma 01:16
01:26
Mi amigo Juan, uah 01:29
Recuerda mucho a su padre el día que le dio un consejo 01:41
Para ser buen jugador aprende a perder primero 01:50
Tienes que tener honor si ya te metiste en esto 01:56
Por el tres lo conocieron a su caballo en la sierra 02:05
Empezaba a hacer historia y jugaba en cualquier tierra 02:14
Lástima que se quebrara la pata en una carrera 02:21
En memoria de su viejo me pidió hacerle un corrido 02:29
Para que se escuche recio y hasta el cielo se oiga un grito 02:36
A ver si escucha don Nacho que Juan le salió buen hijo 02:43
02:51

[English]
Uy-uy-uy-uy
...
Don Nacho was born in the mountains and grew up under the hills
He barely went to school and learned to write his name
Life and those years shaped the men
He loved horses and set up his stable in Rayón
He also had a little ranch that he took care of with much love
Heaven sent him a son with the woman he loved
But one day the son left to seek better things
Then he brought back a horse from the Valley of Maricopa
And there in Rayón he raced it from the creek to the hill
...
My friend Juan, uah
He remembers his father well the day he gave him advice
To be a good player, learn to lose first
You have to have honor if you’ve gotten into this
They knew him by the three, his horse in the mountains
He was starting to make history and played on any land
It's a shame he broke his leg in a race
In memory of his old man, he asked to make a corrido
So it can be heard loud and even a shout reaches the sky
Let’s see if Don Nacho hears that Juan turned out to be a good son
