Текст и перевод песни Los Cadetes De Linares - Las Tres Tumbas

Las Tres Tumbas

Salieron de madrugada
Se oía el cantar de los gallos
Iban a hacer dos jornadas
Al 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 3tres hermanos pensaban

Pedro le dice a Fabian
Dale un trago a Jose Luis
Que beba de ese mezcal
Pa' que se sienta feliz
Que ahorita nomás llegados
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 reencores surgieron
Rondando tras los jacales
Abrieron todos 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

The Three Graves

They left at dawn, my love,
The rooster's crow could be heard,
They were going on a two-day journey,
On the backs of their horses, dear,
The party was being held,
At the Pitayo Ranch, you see.

Their father gave them some advice,
As they prepared to depart,
Take good care of yourselves, he said,
Because life is fleeting, my sweet,
In the old man's words,
The three brothers were thinking.

Pedro says to Fabian,
Give Jose Luis a drink,
Let him drink some of that mezcal,
So he can feel happy, my dear,
As soon as we arrive,
We're going to have some fun.

When they arrived at the dance,
They went straight to dancing,
Death was in the air, my love,
They didn't sense it, it's true,
Just like their father told them,
When they left the ranch, my dear.

There were many rivals,
Old grudges resurfaced,
Prowling behind the shacks,
They all opened fire,
That's how cowards kill, my love,
When fear consumes them, you see.

A lonely old man,
Without any hope,
Takes care of the ranch and three horses,
As his whole fortune, my dear,
He goes to the cemetery from time to time,
To visit the three graves.
