Текст и перевод песни Los Cadetes De Linares - El Pata de Palo

El Pata de Palo

Ha regresado a este pueblo
Jesús "El Pata de Palo"
Cuídense todos aquellos
Que a la cárcel lo mandaron

Qué silencio está el poblado
Ni las moscas hacen ruido
Nomás se oyen unos pasos
Que son los de ese bandido

Diez años en la prisión
No se le olvidan a nadie
He regresado a mi pueblo
Porque he venido a vengarme

José González García
Y Antonio López Quesada
Francisco Pérez Munjía
Que salgan a la calzada

Ya los pasos se aproximan
Se están sintiendo más cerca
Y ni los perros se arriman
Porque presienten la gresca

El enterrador del pueblo
Ya cavó tres agujeros
Porque sabe de antemano
Que van a sobrar sombreros

Que pronto terminó el duelo
Ya se oyeron tres disparos
Hay tres hombres en el suelo
Que con su vida pagaron

Se oyen pasos de un caballo
Allá por la plaza vieja
Es Jesús "Pata de Palo"
Que poco a poco se aleja

The Peg-Legged One

He has returned to this town,
Jesús "The Peg-Legged One".
Beware, all those
Who sent him to jail.

How silent is the town,
Not even the flies make a sound.
Only some footsteps are heard,
Those of that bandit, my dear.

Ten years in prison
Are not forgotten by anyone.
I have returned to my town
Because I have come for revenge, my love.

José González García
And Antonio López Quesada,
Francisco Pérez Munjía,
Let them come out to the street.

The footsteps are approaching,
They are getting closer.
And not even the dogs come near
Because they sense the brawl.

The town's gravedigger
Has already dug three holes,
Because he knows beforehand
That there will be hats to spare.

How quickly the duel ended,
Three shots were heard.
There are three men on the ground
Who paid with their lives.

The sound of a horse's hooves are heard
Over there by the old plaza.
It's Jesús "Peg-Legged One",
Who little by little rides away.
