Lyrics and translation El Hombre Gancho - La Flecha Envenenada

La Flecha Envenenada

Aguas turbulentas, pinturas de guerra
Sangre en la padrera del amor
Un caballo loco, huye desbocado
Cuando el indio toca su tambor

Cada madrugada triste y desolada
Su vieja le espera con temor
Y aquella mañana al volver la tribu
Aquel indio nunca regresó

Dime donde está, compañero fiel
Dime que se ha vuelto
A despistar por un sendero
Deja de llorar, ya no volverá
Su cuerpo descansa
Entre la hierba del guerrero

No te veo triste, indio compañero
Cuéntame qué pasa por favor
Mirame a los ojos, no me ocultes nada
Llévame al lugar donde cayó

Y en su cuerpo estaba, semiatravesada
La flecha que partio su corazón
Y en aquella flecha, la señal grabada
Del que traicionó

No puedo entender que un guerrero así
Fuera a ser el blanco
De un disparo tan certero
Dime la verdad, yo te creeré
Si me dices que no has sido tú su traicionero

Dime dóde está compañero fiel
Dime que se ha vuelto
A despistarpor un sendero
Dime la verdad, yo te creeré
Pero me dices que
No has sido tú su traicionero,
Traicionero, traicionero, ay! traicionero, no!

The Poisoned Arrow

Stormy waters, war paint
Blood in the basin of love
A wild horse, running out of control
When the Indian plays his drum

Every morning sad and desolate
His old woman waits for him with fear
And that morning when the tribe returned
That Indian never came back

Tell me where he is, faithful companion
Tell me he has returned
To throw us off track
Stop crying, he will not come back
His body rests
Among the warrior's grass

I don't see you sad, Indian companion
Tell me what's wrong, please
Look me in the eyes, don't hide anything from me
Take me to the place where he fell

And in his body, halfway through
The arrow that broke his heart
And on that arrow, the sign engraved
Of the one who betrayed him

I can't understand that a warrior like that
Would become the target
Of such a sure shot
Tell me the truth, I will believe you
If you tell me that you were not his betrayer

Tell me where he is, faithful companion
Tell me he has returned
To throw us off track
Tell me the truth, I will believe you
But you tell me that
You were not his betrayer,
Betrayer, betrayer, oh! betrayer, no!
