Paroles et traduction Luis Y Julian - Dos Cruces

Dos Cruces

En ese camino real
Que cruza por los potreros
Hay dos cruces en señal
Que sobraron dos sombreros
Uno fue Sostenes Leal
Y el otro Marcos Barreiro.

De aquellos dos apellidos
Nomás ellos dos quedaban
La suerte no había querido
Que estos hombres se encontraran
Uno venia de El Suspiro
Y el otro de Canta ranas.

Sus caballos relincharon
Al presentir el peligro
Y luego se encabritaron
Al escucharse los tiros
Espantados arrancaron
Con sus amos mal heridos.

Dominando a su montura
Regreso Sostenes Leal
Todo lleno de amargura
Y una mirada bestial
Con un pie en la sepultura
Ya veía a su rival.

Marcos doblado en la silla
Mascullo una maldición
Se le escapaba la vida
Pero aumento su rencor
Volvió a pesar de su herida
A buscar a su agresor.

Ni uno de los dos fallaron
Al oprimir el gatillo
Nuevamente los disparos
Encontraron su destino
Y los dos cuerpos quedaron
Hechos cruz en el camino

Two Crosses

On that royal road
That crosses through the paddocks
There are two crosses as a sign
That two hats are left
One was Sostenes Leal
And the other Marcos Barreiro.

Of those two surnames
Only they were left
Fate had not wanted
That these men meet
One came from El Suspiro
And the other from Canta ranas.

Their horses whinnied
Sensing the danger
And then they reared up
At the sound of the shots
They galloped off in terror
With their masters badly wounded.

Dominating his mount
Sostenes Leal returned
Full of bitterness
And a beastly look
With one foot in the grave
He could already see his rival.

Marcos bent forward in the saddle
Muttered a curse
His life was slipping away
But his anger increased
He turned again, despite his wound
To seek out his attacker.

Neither of them missed
As they pulled the trigger
Again, the shots
Found their target
And the two bodies remained
As crosses on the road.
