Lyrics of El Perro Negro - ANTONIO AGUILAR

El Perro Negro (original)

Al otro lado del puente
De La Piedad, Michoacán
Vivía Gilberto el Valiente
Nacido en Apatzingán
Siempre con un perro negro
Que era su noble guardián
Quería vivir con la Lupe
La novia de don Julián
Hombre de muncho dinero
Acostumbrado a mandar
El ya sabía de Gilberto
Y lo pensaba matar
Un día que no estaba el perro
Llegó buscando al rival
Gilberto estaba dormido
Ya no volvió a despertar
En eso se oyó un aullido
Cuentan de un perro del mal
Era el negro embravecido
Que dió muerte a Don Julian
Allí quedaron los cuerpos
Lupita no fué a llorar
Cortó las flores mas lindas
Como pa' hacer un altar
Y las llevó hasta una tumba
Del panteón municipal
Allí estaba echado un perro
Sin comer y sin dormir
Quería mirar a su dueño
No le importaba vivir
Así murió el perro negro
Aquel enorme guardián
Que quiso mucho a Gilberto
Y dio muerte a Don Julián

(translation)

To the other side of the bridge
From La Piedad, Michoacan
Lived Gilbert the Brave
Born in Apatzingán
Always with a black dog
who was his noble guardian
He wanted to live with Lupe
Don Julian's girlfriend
man of a lot of money
used to send
He already knew about Gilberto
And he thought to kill him
One day when the dog was not
He came looking for the rival
Gilbert was asleep
He didn't wake up again
At that a howl was heard
They tell of an evil dog
He was the raging black
That he killed Don Julian
There were the bodies
Lupita did not go to cry
She cut the most beautiful flowers
How to make an altar
And he took them to a grave
of the municipal pantheon
There was a dog lying
Without eating and without sleeping
He wanted to look at his owner
He didn't care to live
This is how the black dog died
That huge guardian
That he loved Gilberto very much
And he killed Don Julián
