He left the ranch in search of money
The cows and cattle didn't leave a penny
Mounted on his horse, he thought calmly
He went to the other side and was lost for a long time

His family cried and his mother didn't know
Even where he was or where he would end up
One day a nice and luxurious car was seen at the ranch
At the wheel a young man with very dark windows

In a small hut he saw a lady sitting
There poverty was noticeable in her clothes
When a cheerful boy arrived and said very smiling
Ma'am, why are you sad?, don't you see that your son came to see you?

He said lower the gifts for my mother
Kill a couple of calves because I want to celebrate
Mother "where is my old man that I want to greet him
She said "over there by the horses
Very close to the corral"

And so sounds Kevin Ortiz, my buddy Ulices
That's right, buddy Kevin
And always moving forward, old man

The young man ran off, he couldn't wait any longer
To see that old man, he really missed him
When he arrived at the corral, he couldn't believe such a thing
His old man buried and a crown of roses

His mother told him "Your father is gone
He died at work and he was always a worker
He asked for his burial here at the ranch
And if his son returned, just to visit him

The band played loudly for almost a week
And in front of that tomb, the sad boy cried
Sadly remembering the old man, they say they've seen him drinking
If they don't see him happy
It's because he's always remembering the old man.
