Paroles et traduction Pesado - 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 dió 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 José Luis
Que beba de ese mezcal

Pa′ que se sienta feliz
Que ahorita nomás llegar
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 todo 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

Three Graves

They left at dawn
The crowing of the roosters could be heard
It would be a two-day journey

On the backs of their horses
The party was being held
At the pitaya ranch

Their father gave them some advice
As they prepared to leave
"Take good care of your lives"

Because life ends
With the old man's words
The three brothers thought

Pedro says to Fabián
Give José Luis a drink
Let him drink that mezcal

So that he feels happy
Because as soon as we get there
We're going to have a good time

When they arrived at the dance
They went to dance
Death was in the air

They didn't feel it
As their father told them
When they left the ranch

There were many rivals
Old grudges arose
Lurking behind the jacales

They opened all fire
That's how cowards kill
When fear harasses them

A lonely old man
Without any hope
He 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
