Paroles et traduction Antonio Aguilar - Tres Tumbas

Tres Tumbas

Salieron de Madrugada,
Se oiga el canto de los gallos,
Iban hacer dos Jornadas,
Al lomo de sus caballos,
La Fiesta se Celebraba,
Y en el rancho en Pitayo,

Su Padre les dio un Consejo,
Cuando ha partirse aprestaban,
Cuiden muy bien el peyejo
Porque la vida se acaba,
En las palabras del padre,
Los 3 hermanos pensaban,

Pedro le dice a fabian
Dale Un trago a jose luis,
Que beba de ese Mezcal,
Pa que se sienta feliz,
Que ahorita nomas llegar,
Nos vamos a divertir.

(Aayya a mis hermanos oigan siempre
De los consejos de los padres aayya)

Cuando arribaron al baile a bailar se dirigieron,
La muerte andaba en el aire, Ellos no la Presintieron,
Como les dijo su padre,
Cuando de rancho salieron,

Eran muchos los rivales, Viejos rencores Surgieron,
Rondando tras los jacales, abrieron todos el fuego
Asi matan dos cobardes, cuando los ascosa el miedo

Un viejito solitario, sin esperanza ninguna
Cuida el rancho y tres caballos, esa es toda su fortuna
Va al pantelon de vez en cuando, A visitar las Tres Tumbas.

Three Tombs

They left at dawn,
As the roosters crowed,
They would make two journeys,
On the backs of their horses,
The party was being celebrated,
And at the Pitayo ranch,

Their father gave them a warning,
As they prepared to leave,
Take good care of the peyote
Because life is short,
In their father's words,
The 3 brothers thought,

Pedro says to Fabian,
Give Jose Luis a drink,
Let him drink that mezcal,
So that he feels happy,
Right now, as soon as we arrive,
We'll have some fun.

(Oh, my brothers, always listen
To the advice of your parents, oh yeah)

When they arrived at the dance, They went to dance,
Death was in the air, They didn't feel it,
As their father told them,
When they left the ranch,

There were many rivals, Old grudges arose,
Lurking around the huts, They all opened fire
That's how two cowards kill, When fear makes them sick

A lonely old man, Hopeless
Looks after the ranch and three horses, That's all his fortune
He goes to the cemetery from time to time, To visit the Three Tombs.
