Текст и перевод песни Los Cadetes De Linares - Las 3 Tumbas

Las 3 Tumbas

Salieron de madrugada
Se oía el canto de los gallos
Iban a ser dos jornadas
Al lomo de sus caballos
La fiesta se celebraba
En el rancho del Pitayo

Su padre les dio 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 Fabían
"Dale un trago a José Luis
Que beba de ese mezcal
Pa' que se sienta feliz
Que ahorita nomas 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 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 3 Graves

They left at dawn
The roosters' crowing could be heard
Two days' journey lay ahead
Riding their horses
The celebration was being held
At Rancho del Pitayo

Their father gave them advice
As they prepared to depart
"Guard your hide
Because life is fleeting"
In their father's words
The three brothers contemplated

Pedro says to Fabián
"Give José Luis a drink
Let him have some mezcal
So he can feel happy
Soon as we get there
We're going to make merry

When they arrived at the dance
They went to dance
Death was in the air
They didn't feel its presence
As their father had told them
When they left the ranch

Their rivals were numerous
Old grudges arose
Lurking behind the houses
They all opened fire
Cowards kill like that
When fear hounds them

A lonely little old man
Without any hope
Looks after the ranch and three horses
As his only fortune
He goes to the cemetery from time to time
To visit the three graves
