Continuing with Mexican music, this song is named "This Tuesday they will shoot me", and tells the story of a person who will be shot by a fire squad during the
Cristero war.
This Tuesday they will shoot me
at 6 in the morning.
For believing in eternal God
and in the great Guadalupana. (1)
They found me a stamp
of Jesus inside my hat.
That's why they condemned me.
Because I'm a Cristero.
That's why they will shoot me
this Tuesday by the morning.
They will kill my useless body,
but never, never my soul.
I tell my executioners
that I want to be crucified,
and once crucified,
then they can use their rifles.
Good bye hills of Jalisco, (2)
Michoacán (3), and Guanajuato (4),
where I fought the government,
who always ran away.
They seized me on my knees
adoring to Jesus Christ.
They knew there was no defense
in that sacred place.
I'm a peasant by inheritance,
Jaliscience by birth.
I don't have more God that Christ
because He gave me the existence.
By killing me it doesn't end
the believing in eternal God.
Many remain in the fight
and others are just being born.
That is why they will shoot me
this Tuesday by the morning.
