Lyrics and translation Gerardo Reyes - Macario Leyva

Macario Leyva

Contratan dos pistoleros
Que de Acapulco vinieron
A dar muerte a Don Macario
En su rancho ganadero
Cuando llegaron al rancho
Como no los conocían
Señora somos agentes
Agentes de policía
Les contestó la señora
Mi esposo se acaba de ir
Pasen pa' dentro señores
Ya no tardara en venir
Cuando pasaron pa' dentro
Se quitaron sus sombreros
Demostrando a la señora
Que eran unos caballeros
Luego que lo ven venir
Uno al otro se sonrió
El dinero está en la bolsa
Este tigre ya cayó
Pero nunca se fijaron
En tan humilde señora
Por la espalda les dio muerte
Con una ametralladora
Decía Don Macario Leyva
Venga mi esposa querida
Si no ha sido tu valor
Estos me quitan la vida
Y así terminó la historia
De allá del rancho la Saga
Se acabaron dos pistolas
De esas que matan por paga

Macario Leyva

They hired two gunmen
Who came from Acapulco
To kill Don Macario
On his cattle ranch
When they arrived at the ranch
Since they didn't know them
Lady, we are the agents
Police agents
The lady answered them
My husband just left
Come inside, gentlemen
He'll be back soon
As they went inside
They took off their hats
Showing the lady
That they were gentlemen
As soon as they saw him coming
They smiled at each other
The money is in the bag
We got this tiger
But they never noticed
The humble lady
From behind she killed them
With a machine gun
Don Macario Leyva said
Come here, my dear wife
If it weren't for your courage
They would've taken my life
And this is how the story ends
From the ranch La Saga
Two guns are now gone
The kind that kill for money
