Lyrics and translation Cardenales de Nuevo León - Misa De Cuerpo Presente

Misa De Cuerpo Presente

Misa de cuerpo presente
Le están rezando en la iglesia
Al que murió por la espalda
Que siempre mato en defensa

No quiso oír a su madre
Cuando le dijo: "no vayas
Te han respetado la frente
Pero te buscan la espalda"

Ya estaba el cuatro tendido
En el camino a aquel baile
Cayó en la peor emboscada
Como le dijo su madre

Cuando llevaron el cuerpo
Su madre dijo al momento
"Déjenme sola con mi hijo"
Y luego, cerró por dentro

Dicen los que se asomaron
Que su madre muy valiente
Le dio de azotes al cuerpo
Dizque por desobediente

También dicen que los ojos
De ese cuerpo sin sentido
Lloraba lágrimas gruesas
Como si estuviera vivo

Dicen que con su pistola
Lo santiguo muchas veces
Luego la lleno de sangre
Y juro vengar su muerte

Con razón era valiente
En eso heredo a su madre
Ella no derramo llanto
Solo se puso a rezarle

Mass for the Dead

Mass for the dead
They are praying in the church
For the one who died on his back
Who always killed in self-defense

He didn't want to listen to his mother
When she said: "Don't go
They have respected your face
But they are after your back"

The four was already laid out
On the road to that dance
He fell into the worst ambush
Just like his mother told him

When they brought the body
His mother said at the moment
"Leave me alone with my son"
And then, she locked herself inside

They say that those who looked in
Said that his mother very bravely
Whipped the body
Supposedly for being disobedient

They also say that the eyes
Of that senseless body
Wept big tears
As if he were alive

They say that with his pistol
He signed it many times
Then he filled it with blood
And swore to avenge his death

With good reason he was brave
In that he inherited from his mother
She did not shed a tear
She just started to pray to him
