La Tres Tumbas - Los Cadetes De Linares Übersetzung ins Englische

La Tres Tumbas

Salieron de madrugada
Se oía el cantar de los gallos
Iban a ser dos jornadas
Al lomo de sus caballos
La fiesta se celebraba
En el Rancho del Pitayo

Su padre les dio un consejo
Cuando a partir se aprestaban
"Cuiden muy bien el pellejo
Porque la vida se acaba"
En las palabras del viejo
Los tres hermanos pensaban

Pedro le dice a Fabián
"Dale un trago a José Luis
Que beba de ese mezcal
Pa que se sienta feliz
Que ahorita nomas llegando
Nos vamos a divertir"

Cuando arribaron al baile
A bailar se dirigieron
La muerte andaba en el aire
Ellos no la presintieron
Como les dijo su padre
Cuando del rancho salieron

Eran muchos los rivales
Viejos rencores surgieron
Rondando tras los jacales
Abrieron todos el fuego
Así matan los cobardes
Cuando los acosa el miedo

Un viejito solitario
Sin esperanza ninguna
Cuida el rancho y tres caballos
Como toda su fortuna
Va al panteón de vez en cuando
A visitar las tres tumbas

The Three Graves

They left at dawn, my love,
The rooster's crow could be heard,
It would be a two-day journey,
On the backs of their horses, dear,
The party was being held, you see,
At the Rancho del Pitayo.

Their father gave them some advice,
As they prepared to depart,
"Take good care of yourselves, my sons,
Because life comes to an end,"
The old man's words, so wise,
The three brothers pondered them.

Pedro says to Fabian,
"Give Jose Luis a drink,
Let him drink some of that mezcal,
So he feels happy and bright,
As soon as we arrive, my dear,
We're going to have some fun."

When they arrived at the dance,
They went straight to the floor,
Death was in the air that night,
They didn't sense its chilling door,
Just as their father had warned,
When they left the ranch before.

There were many rivals there,
Old grudges came to light,
Prowling behind the shacks, my love,
They all opened fire that night,
That's how cowards kill, you see,
When fear consumes their might.

A lonely old man remains,
Without any hope at all,
He cares for the ranch and three horses,
His only fortune, big or small,
He goes to the cemetery now and then,
To visit the three graves, my friend.
