Paroles et traduction Banda Móvil - Las Tres Tumbas

Las Tres Tumbas

Salieron de madrugada
Se oía el canto de los gallos
Iban a ser dos jornadas,
A lomo de sus caballos
La fiesta se celebraba,
En el rancho del pitayo

Su padre les dio un consejo
Cuando apartir se aprestan
Cuiden muy bien el pellejo
Por que la vida se acaba
En las palabras del viejo
Los tres hermano pensaban

Pedro le dice a Fabian
Dale un trago a Jose Luis
Que beba de ese mezcal
Pa ke se sienta feliz
Que ahorita nomas llegamos
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
Asi 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
The roosters were crowing
It would be a two-day journey,
On the backs of their horses
The party was being held,
At the Pitayo Ranch

Their father gave them advice
When preparing to depart
Take good care of your hide
Because life ends
In the words of the old man
The three brothers thought

Pedro says to Fabian
Give Jose Luis a drink
Let him drink some of that mezcal
So he can feel happy
We'll get there soon
We're going to have fun

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

There were many rivals
Old grudges arose
Lurking behind the shacks
They all opened fire
That's how cowards kill
When they are haunted by fear

A lonely old man
Without any hope
Takes care of the ranch and three horses
As his entire fortune
He goes to the cemetery from time to time
To visit the three graves
