La Muerte Del Pelavacas

The Death of Pelavacas

La Muerte Del Pelavacas

The Ranch of Vizcaíno and all its landEl Rancho del Vizcaíno y todita su comarca
The favorite hideouts of the fearsome PelavacasLas guaridas preferidas del terrible pelavacas
Whoever he laid his hands on always bore his markAl que le ponia su mano siempre dejaba su marca

Reymundo Burgos was his name, everyone feared himReymundo Burgos su nombre todo mundo le temia
Maybe it was his bad reputation that made him well-knownSeria por su mala fama que todos le conocian
Chased by the law, they called him PelavacasPerseguido por la ley Pelavacas le decian

He started his criminal career early onMuy temprano comenzó su carrera delictuosa
He took a pretty lady, and that’s how it all beganSe llevó una linda dama y así comenzó la cosa
For anyone living hard, a grave is always readyPa' todo el que vive recio se encuentra lista una fosa

Ten years he spent in prison, they say he didn’t changeDiez años que estuvo preso dicen que no lo amoldaron
When he got out of jail, they quickly spotted himCuándo salió del presidio lueguito lo detectaron
All the troubles that came, they blamed on himLos males que iban pasando todos se los achacaron

Out in Quila, Sinaloa, there’s a story etched in timeAllá en Quila, Sinaloa hay una historia grabada
At ten in the morning, he’d rob the bankA las diez de la mañana el banco les asaltaba
Death in pure cash, he carried it in his handsLa muerte en puros billetes en sus manos las llevaba

The truth hasn’t been known, but he was killedLa verddad no se ha sabido la cosa es que lo mataron
For keeping his sharePor quedarse con su parte
And I think they even paid for his body in piecesY creo que hasta les pagaron su cuerpo en puros pedazos
They found him in the hillsPor el cerro lo encontraron

The betrayal they played on him, in time they’ll payLa traición que le jugaron con el tiempo han de pagar
In the end, all scorpions, another will sting themEn fin todos alacranes otro les ha de picar
The death of Pelavacas will avenge another traitorLa muerte del pelavacas otro traidor va a vengar
