Paroles et traduction Luis Y Julian - El Gato

El Gato

En la ciudad de Irasoles, estado de Nuevo León,
Era Francisco Resendez, de los peones el mejor

Juan se caso con Rosita, flor que el patrón deshojaba,
El con su amor sin malicia, como a su Dios la adoraba

Un día le dieron noticia, y corriendo se fue al río
Ahí encontró a su Rosita, en brazos de su querido

El mismo diablo era un santo, junto al gañan ofendido,
De un machetazo ahí rodaron, dos cabezas hasta el río
Y los dos cuerpos quedaron, entre los dos confundidos

Juan se fugo pa la sierra, dejo escrito este relato
Ya Juan Francisco no existe, ahora cuídense del Gato

Se convirtió en el azote, de las haciendas mas ricas
Y a sus amos les robaba, joyas, dinero y sus hijas

La policía y federales, y la rural lo buscaban,
Y tan sagaz era El Gato, que a ellos mismo los robaba

Por sus hazañas se cuenta, de hacendados y enemigos
El gato, se hizo leyenda, porque jamás se hizo cautivo,
Nunca se supo si ha muerto, o si volvió al buen camino

The Cat

In the city of Irasoles, state of Nuevo León,
There was Francisco Resendez, the best of the peasants

Juan married Rosita, a flower that the boss stripped,
He worshiped her with innocent love, as he did his God

One day he was given news, and he ran to the river
There he found his Rosita, in the arms of her lover

The devil himself was a saint, next to the offended yokel,
With a machete, two heads rolled there, into the river
And the two bodies remained, among the two confused

Juan fled to the mountains, and left this story written
Juan Francisco no longer exists, now beware of the Cat

He became the scourge of the richest estates
And from their masters he stole jewels, money, and their daughters

The police and the federals, and the rural police were looking for him,
And so cunning was The Cat that he robbed them himself

His exploits are told by landowners and enemies
The Cat became a legend, for he was never taken prisoner,
It is not known if he died or if he returned to the right path
