The Hummer of the Year

La hummer del año

They spotted the platesPor ahí le vieron las placas
JR-215 on a brand new HummerJR-215 a una hummer del año
and a man with gray eyesy a un hombre de ojos grises
his fingers trembled with desirede ansias le tiemblan los dedos
but his pulse stayed steadypero su pulso anda firme

I search and search for that cowardBusco y busco aquel cobarde
for something he owed mepor algo que le debía
for the truck and his guna la troca y su pistola
I swear I’d kill himjuro que lo mataría
there’s no deadline that won’t comeno hay fecha que no se cumpla
today is that dayhoy se ha llegado ese día

The bottle of BucanaLa botella de bucada
spun in his handen su mano daba vuelta
the coward was celebratingel cobarde celebraba
suddenly the door swung opende pronto se abrió la puerta
and the man who was aimingy el hombre que apuntaba
wasn’t there to collect rentno venia a cobrar la renta

(And here’s a shoutout(Y ahi le va un saludo
to my buddy Cuy Zotopal compa cuy zoto
and up with the Zoto crewy arriva pilas de zoto
pure from the paradise of Zacatecas, cousin)puro del paraíso zacatecas primo)

The end of a cigaretteLa cola de un cigarrillo
burned the skin on his fingersquemo la piel de sus dedos
he couldn’t say a wordno pudo decir palabras
just thought, I owe you onesolo pensó te la debo
and the man with gray eyesy el hombre de los ojos grises
was enjoying his fingerle daba gusto a su dedo

He said after he was deadLe dijo después de muerto
this is where it all endsaquí se ha acabado todo
you left me without a fathertu me dejaste sin padre
they’ll throw you in the holea ti de echaran al ollo
and just in case it helpsy por si acaso te sirven
you’re carrying three ounces of leadllevas tres onzas de plomo

There he left the gunAhí dejo la pistola
on his father’s graveen la tumba de su padre
he cried as a farewelllloro como despedida
he was in a hurry, it was getting latetenia prisa y se hacia tarde
the Hummer was burning rubberla hummer quemaba llanta
no one had looked back at him again.ya nadie había vuelto a mirarle
