El Corrido del RM
Traditional norteño · Male voice
Señores, pongan oídos,
que les canto con fervor
la historia del RM,
hombre de raíz y valor.
Nació en Ensenada, Baja,
junto al mar y a la bahía,
con sangre mexicana en las venas
que lo guiaba cada día.
So they hear their story again
The ofrenda welcomes them; the corrido remembers them
Next to their photo, their favorite food and the candles, a song about their life.
For the whole family
Play it at the November 1 and 2 gathering and share it on WhatsApp with everyone who loved them.
Written with respect
A gentle, loving tribute tone. A person reviews every lyric before delivery.
From a story to a corrido
WHAT YOU TELL US
“For my grandpa, Don Chuy, from Michoacán. He was a mule driver, loved pan de muerto with café de olla and every November set up the ofrenda for his parents. This year we set it up for him.”
HOW THEIR CORRIDO STARTS
En la ofrenda está tu foto,
Don Chuy de Michoacán,
con tu cafecito de olla
y tu pedazo de pan.
Las veladoras te alumbran
el camino de regreso,
cempasúchil en la puerta
y en cada pétalo un beso.
