La Leyenda Del Manco

Se encontró "el manco" Fernando a Jesús "pata de palo"
A ti te andaba buscando y vengo a hacerte un regalo
Ya no andes apantallando diciendo que eres el diablo

Ya sabes mis correderos, contestó Jesús "el cojo"
Yo sé que me tiene miedo porque conoces mi arrojo
Te voy a dejar más seco que una caña de rastrojo

No salgas con tus patrañas, no conozco tu escondite
Sé que traes telarañas en la pata de mezquite
Andabas en las montañas, huyendo de los sheriffes

No sé cómo has olvidado que yo te arranqué esa mano
Después de haberte baleado, gritabas como un marrano
Y nunca has escarmentado porque eres un vil gusano

En fracciones de segundo, desenfundaron los dos
Toda la gente sin rumbo corría a paso veloz
Parecía el fin del mundo, aquel duelo tan atroz

Ya se va "el pata de palo", se retira de este pueblo
Quién sabe qué irá pensando con su mirada en el cielo
Atrás "el manco" Fernando quedó tirado en el suelo

The Legend of the One-Armed Man

One-armed Fernando found Jesús "Pegleg"
I've been looking for you, darling, and I've come to give you a gift
Stop showing off, saying you're the devil

You know my territory, replied Jesús "the cripple"
I know you're afraid of me because you know my courage
I'm going to leave you drier than a stalk of stubble

Don't come out with your nonsense, I don't know your hiding place
I know you've got cobwebs on your mesquite leg
You were in the mountains, running from the sheriffs

I don't know how you've forgotten that I ripped off that hand of yours
After I shot you, you screamed like a pig
And you've never learned your lesson because you're a vile worm

In fractions of a second, they both drew their guns
All the people aimlessly ran at a fast pace
It seemed like the end of the world, that atrocious duel

"Pegleg" is leaving, he's retiring from this town
Who knows what he's thinking with his gaze at the sky
Behind him, one-armed Fernando was left lying on the ground
