The Melon

El Melon

I'm going to write some versesVoy a escribir unos versos
I have the pen in my handTengo la pluma en la mano
They already killed the melon, companion of the gypsyYa mataron al melon compañero del gitano
On the 21st of AugustEl dia 21 de agosto
I have it presentPresente lo tengo yo
In the ranch of Paso Hondo, a great tragedy occurredEn el rancho del paso hondo gran desgrasia sucedio
The police came down on themLes cayo la judicial
And the melon was going to learnY al melon iba a aprender
But he killed firstPero dio muerte primero
Don Salvador RangelA don salvador rangel

Poor Tomas CastañedaPobre tomas castañeda
Who woke up to gunshotsQue alos tiros desperto
With his gun in hand, he got off the platformCon su pistola en la mano del tapanco se bajo
He got off the platformDel tapanco se bajo
Already with his bad intentionsYa con su mal pensamiento
And upon finding his rivalY al encontrar su rival
They shot at the same timeSe dispararon a un tiempo
Chief of the policeJefe de la judicial
Who was carrying it safelyQue la llevava segura
But oh, he made a mistake, he found the tough barrierPero ay se equivoco se encontro la tranca dura

Tomas Castañeda saidDesia tomas castañeda
In this duel, there is revengeEn este duelo ay desquite
Goodbye town of Tecuala and ranch of San FelipeAdios pueblo de tecuala y rancho de san felipe
State of NayaritEstado de nayarit
Without a doubt, it has brave menSin duda tiene hombresitos
Who, when neededQue cuando se necesita
Don't boast of being damnedNo presumen de malditos
Eluterio Verdin saidDesia eluterio verdin
As it was to happenComo avia de suceder
I fell into the hands of the melonCai en manos del melon
For fulfilling my dutyPor cumplir con mi deber
Fly, little dove, flyVuela y vuela palomita
Land on that lemonParate en aquel limon
These are the morning songs of the famous melonEstas son las mañanitas del afamado melonn
