Figura Doblada

Bent Figure

Figura Doblada

Give me a proof I said to the old man who claimedDame un prube dije al viejo que alegaba
A noble face and a bent figureUn rostro noble y una figura doblada
The discussion was that he said he was my fatherLa discucion es que decia que era mi padre
He swore on the pages of a BibleSobre las pasta de una biblia lo juraba
Since my mother's death, I have lived aloneDesde la muerte de mi madre vivo solo
She told me that my father had died when I was a childElla me dijo que abisa muerto cuando niño
She hid it from me because I am a prisonerTe oculto por que yo soy un presidiario
And south of the valley they call me the killer.Y al sur del balle me llaman el asesino.

Maybe you know those lands of El SaucitoTal vez conoscas esas tierras del saucito
A green valley where I planted maguey plantsUn balle verde donde yo sembre magueyes
A landowner and a duo who is a lawyerUn asendado y duo que es de un abogado
They took them from me for not knowing the lawsMe las quitaron por no conocer la leyes
I got angry and couldn't contain myselfMe ago el coraje ya no pude contenerme
I killed the two and the judge who had been bribedMate los dos y al juez que se abia vendido
And since then I have livedY desde el presente he vivido
And south of the valley they call me the killer.Y sur del balle me llaman el asesino.

(And here's a greeting to my cousin(Y ahi le va un saludo para el primo
Jorge and all the folks from Pinzapopla, MorelosJorge y toda la raza de pinzapopla morelos
And give them a musical embrace)Y echele brazeros musical)

Rest in peace, father, I will fight for your landsDescansa padre voy a luchar por tus tierras
But he opposed with an exasperated shoutPero el opuso con grito exasperado
You will study and with the laws in handVas a estudiar y con las leyes en la mano
You will return them to me when you become a lawyerMe las devuelves cuando ya seas abogado
Today I return with his dream fulfilledHoy que regreso con su sueño realizado
Only a cross I find from the maguey plantsSolo un cruz encuentro de los magueyes
And let's see who says these lands are not mineY aver quien dice que estas tierras no son mias
When I planted them under the protection of the laws.Cuando la siembre al amparo de las leyes.

They defend all their rights without falteringDefienden todos sus derechos sin desmayos
Under the protection of the great constitutionAnte el amparo de la gran constitucion
And it is necessary to plow the furrowsY es preciso cusgorreenle alos zurcos
It is a way to fight for the nation.Es una forma de pelear por la nacion.
