Текст и перевод песни Los Invasores de Nuevo León - El Ultimo Cartucho

El Ultimo Cartucho

En un ranchito apartado
Allá en lo alto de la sierra
Vivió un hombre muy aislado
Como si fuera una fiera
Siempre bajaba al poblado
Sin que la ley lo supiera

Montando un caballo zarco
Casi siempre se veía
Tal vez buscaba un cariño
Que tanta falta le hacía
Era la flor más hermosa
De Hacienda Santa María

Su sueño más anhelado
Por fin se le realizó
Y en ancas de su caballo
A esa joven se llevó
Pensó formar su familia
Y no se le concedió

Tenía cuentas pendientes
Con soldados y rurales
El gobierno lo buscaba
Desde que vivían sus padres
Él, por su parte, deseaba
Olvidarse de esos males

Aquella noche de octubre
Los soldados lo rodeaban
Tal vez pensaba rendirse
Y le mataron su amada
Hacía estragos con su rifle
A todo el que divisaba

Esto les va a salir caro
Y nunca van a aprehenderme
Yo no les doy ese gusto
Jamás podrán fusilarme
Con el último cartucho
Yo solo voy a matarme

The Last Cartridge

In a remote little ranch
Up high in the mountains
Lived a very isolated man
Like a wild beast
He would always go down to the town
Without the law knowing about it

Riding a dappled-gray horse
You could almost always see him
Maybe he was looking for some affection
That he was so lacking
She was the most beautiful flower
Of Hacienda Santa Maria

His most longed-for dream
Was finally fulfilled for him
And on his horse's back
He took that young woman away
He thought he would start a family
And it was not granted to him

He had some scores to settle
With soldiers and the Rurales
The government was looking for him
Since his parents were alive
He, for his part, wanted to
Forget about those evils

That October night
The soldiers surrounded him
Maybe he was thinking of surrendering
And they killed his beloved
He was wreaking havoc with his rifle
At anyone he could see

This is going to cost them dearly
And they will never capture me
I will not give them that pleasure
They will never be able to shoot me
With my last bullet
I am going to kill myself
