On the seventeenth of March to the city of Agua Prieta
People came from everywhere
They came to the races of Relámpago and Moro
Two first-class horses

Moro, owned by Pedro Timbres, was from the town of Cumpas
Very beautiful and very fast
Relámpago was a bay, a cherished horse
Of his owner, Rafael Romero

When they paraded Moro, he looked so beautiful
That they started to bet
Everyone said that horse came
Especially to win

Checks, bills, and pesos were abundant for the one from Cumpas
On Sunday morning
By the afternoon, the bets exceeded one hundred thousand pesos
In that Copacabana
And Chuy was already made

Frank and Jesús Valenzuela covered fifteen thousand pesos
With Romero's bay
Puyo Morales said, "It seems to me that with Moro
They will win all our money"

Trini Ramírez was around, also Chendo Valenzuela
Already parading the horses
Two belt runners, two seekers of triumph
Both were good roosters

Finally, they gave the start and Moro went ahead
With the intention to win
Ramírez pushed the bay and halfway through the track
Left Moro behind

Leonardo Yáñez, El Nano, composer of the corrido
Asks everyone for forgiveness
Here doubts ended, the bay from Agua Prieta won
And Moro from Cumpas lost
