Does it work for any age?

Yes — from an 18th to a 90th. But it lands hardest on celebrations where there's a life to summarize, generally 40+. For younger birthdays it works but the corrido has less to draw from.

How early do I need to order?

It arrives within 24 hours. If the party is tonight, you're still good. We recommend ordering at least a day ahead so you can review it and figure out when in the night to play it.

What information do you need?

Their name, the age they're hitting, where they were born, what they've done, what they love, the moment you want to celebrate. The questionnaire takes 5 minutes.

What if the person passed and we're celebrating their birthday after?

We have a memorial corrido page — see /en/corrido-in-memoriam. The tone is different (more solemn, focused on legacy) and the questionnaire has different framing for in-memoriam orders.

Is there a discount for ordering multiple corridos?

Each corrido is a separate $49.99 order — we don't run volume discounts because each one gets the same individual care. The price is always $49.99, no surprises.

Is the corrido in Spanish or English?

Spanish by default — Mexican Spanish, where the form rhymes and rhythms work right. If you need bilingual or specific English phrases, mention it in the questionnaire.

What if it doesn't work for the person?

3-day money-back guarantee, no questions asked.

Big birthdays deserve more than a card

Any birthday is a cake and some candles. A milestone birthday — the 50th, the 60th, the 70th, the 80th — is when the family gathers and looks back at a life. Those birthdays ask for something more than a WhatsApp message and a Hallmark card. A custom song for their birthday, written as a real corrido about who they are, is the kind of gift that turns the party into a story the family tells for years.

A corrido with their name and their life works for your dad turning 60 who's never had anything written about him. For your grandma turning 80 with the whole extended family flying in. For your tío who loves regional Mexican music and nobody's ever made him a song. The corrido tells where they came from, what they did in their years, what the family is celebrating right now.

You don't need to be a songwriter — we are. Tell us who the birthday person is, what age they're hitting, the moment you want to celebrate, and the style (norteño, banda, tumbado, traditional). The MP3 arrives within 24 hours. $49.99, one time. The link doesn't expire — perfect for next year's birthday too.

What you get

Lyrics about their actual life

Their name, their age, the moments that mattered. Real Mexican Spanish corrido form — octosyllabic, ABCB rhyme. Not a generic song with their name pasted on top.

Ready for tonight's party

MP3 ready for a speaker, a DJ, or a WhatsApp share. If the party is in two hours, you're still in time — the corrido arrives within 24 hours.

Yours, for next year too

The download link doesn't expire. It's not a one-time MP3 that gets lost in your phone — pull it up next birthday, the year after, every year.

Voy a cantarles, señores

Show full lyrics

Voy a cantarles, señores
de Marti, de León llegó
hija de pan y de fierro
lista en papelito llevó
A los nueve al mercado
con la lista y su ilusión
regateó los centavos
pa' cuidar hasta el montón
A los veintidós, solita
la línea también cruzaste
tres años en El Paso fue
y a Houston te lanzaste
Veinticuatro en la misma
casa en Houston, corazón
nunca te moviste, Marti, no
por los recuerdos, tu razón
De día, hospital limpias
los fines cuidas chamacos
de noche en restaurante
y a la comadre, caldo
Con seis años me quedé yo
sin apá en nuestro cantón
tú jalaste doble, Amá
y nunca faltó el gasto
En un bufé, la rodilla
se te quebró con el peso
el 'disability' negó
seguiste meses con hueso
Operaron medio año
y no hablaste del dolor
con beso y con cobija
nos tapabas con tu amor
Dos años los ahorraste
pa' mis quince en el salón
con la comadre cosiendo
mi vestido pa' el rincón
En mi graduación, primera
te quedaste hasta atrás
te encargas de las cuentas
dices: de ahí no me bajan
Ese día nos peleamos
llegaste con chocolate
me dijiste: 'ay, qué Martha'
mi mejor amiga, madre
Ya con esta me despido
Día de las Madres
Dios te guarde muchos años
te quiero por siempre, madre

Sample lyrics for a birthday corrido

Here's how a birthday corrido in Mexican Spanish might open. The form lives in Spanish; the age, the milestones, and the family details are theirs.

Hoy cumple [age] años mi viejo,y no se le notan los años,sigue chambeando con ganasigual que cuando era muchacho.Le canta toda la familia,con los hijos y los nietos.

When a corrido fits

Milestone birthdays — 50, 60, 70, 80

Where the family gathers to celebrate a life, not just a date. A corrido summarizes who they've been and turns the party into the moment they'll remember.

Grandma's birthday

Grandmothers don't get many gifts that stay. A corrido about her does. It also becomes a family heirloom — passed to her grandkids, played at later birthdays.

Surprise birthday parties

If you're planning a surprise, the corrido is the moment. Plays from the speaker as they walk in. Everyone turns. They freeze. That's the play.
