Текст и перевод песни Chuy Vega - Las Tres Tumbas

Las Tres Tumbas

Salieron de madrugada,
Se oia el canto de los gallos
Iban hacer sus jornadas
Al lomo de sus caballos
La fiesta se celebraba en
El rancho del Pitayo

Su padre les dio un consejo
Cuando apartir se aprestaban
Cuiden muy bien el pellejo
Por que la vida se acaba
En las palabras del viejo
Los tres hermanos pensaban

Pedro le dice a Fabian,
Que beba de ese mezcal
Pa que se seinta feliz
Que ahorita nomas llegar nos vamos a divertir
-Musica-
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 todos el fuego
Asi 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 panteon de ves en cuando
A visitar las tres tumbas.

The Three Graves

They left at dawn,
The roosters crowed
They were going to make their journey
On the backs of their horses
The party was being held at
The Pitayo ranch

Their father gave them some advice
As they prepared to leave
Take good care of your skin
Because life ends
In the words of the old man
The three brothers thought

Pedro says to Fabian,
Drink some of that mezcal
So that you feel happy
Because right now we're going to have some fun
-Music-
When they arrived at the dance
They went to dance
Death was in the air
They did not feel it
As their father told them when they left the ranch

There were many rivals,
Old grudges arose
Lurking behind the shacks
They all opened fire
That's how cowards kill
When they are haunted by fear

An old man alone without hope
None
He takes care of the ranch and three horses
As all his fortune
He goes to the graveyard from time to time
To visit the three graves.
