Las Tres Tumbas - K-Paz de la Sierra traduction en anglais

Las Tres Tumbas

Salieron de madrugada
Se oía el cantar de los gallos
Iban a ser sus jornadas
Al lomo de sus caballos
La fiesta se celebraba
En el rancho del Pitayo

Su padre les dio un consejo
Cuando a partir se aprestaban
"Cuiden muy bien el pellejo
Porque la vida se acaba"
En las palabras del viejo
Los tres hermanos pensaban

Pedro le dice a Fabián
"Dale un trago a Jose Luis
Que beba de ese mezcal
Pa' que se sienta feliz
Que ahorita nomás llegando
Nos vamos a divertir"

¡Y ahí le va el saludo para Eleazar Arellano!
¡Y échele ganas compa!
¡Uah, uah, uah, ja, ja, ja-ah!

Cuando llegaron 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
Así 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 sound of roosters could be heard
Their days were going to be
On the backs of their horses
The party was being held
At Pitayo's ranch

Their father gave them some advice
As they prepared to leave
"Take good care of your skin
Because life ends"
In the old man's words
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
Because as soon as we arrive
We're going to have fun"

And here's a greeting for Eleazar Arellano!
And keep it up, buddy!
Whoa, whoa, whoa, ha, ha, ha-ah!

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

There were many rivals
Old grudges arose
Lurking behind the houses
They all opened fire
That's how cowards kill
When fear stalks them

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