Once he was loyal to the spanish crown,
but he's fighting Spaniards now
Tattooed from head to toe,
his former life so long ago

Chetumal became his home
Determination has been grown
Captain on the battlefield,
with native weapons which he wields

Captured and tortured by a Mayan tribe
First he was just a slave with prospect of a nameless grave,
but he gained the confidence of the native leaders
Risen from captivity, released from his chains

He came from a land so far away with a ship
Gonzalo Guerrero was his name and he changed the sides

Cortés heard about Guerreros fate and tried to rescue him,
but Guerrero was already a native warlord and rejected his offer
Geronimo de Aguilar, a former fellow prisoner,
went to visit him at home, but Guerrero shooed him away

Once he was loyal to the spanish crown,
but he's fighting Spaniards now
Tattooed from head to toe,
his former life so long ago

Chetumal became his home
Determination has been grown
Captain on the battlefield,
with native weapons which he wields

Guerrero married a native wife and she bore him many children
Aguilar told him not to throw his life away just for this primitive woman,
but Guerrero led his Mayan tribe against the spanish troops
Cortés and his men wanted to see him dead

Pedro de Alavarado, lieutenant of Cortes,
was on mission to kill Guerrero soon in Honduras

Alvarado moved with his troops to Honduras
and he fought Guerrero on the battlefield at all costs
The Spanish massacred the indians in a bloody fight
and they found Guerreros corpse in the night
