The Death of Pelavacas

Chalino Sánchez

La Muerte Del Pelavacas

El Rancho del Vizcaíno y todita su comarca
Las guaridas preferidas del terrible pelavacas
Al que le ponia su mano siempre dejaba su marca

Reymundo Burgos su nombre todo mundo le temia
Seria por su mala fama que todos le conocian
Perseguido por la ley Pelavacas le decian

Muy temprano comenzó su carrera delictuosa
Se llevó una linda dama y así comenzó la cosa
Pa' todo el que vive recio se encuentra lista una fosa

Diez años que estuvo preso dicen que no lo amoldaron
Cuándo salió del presidio lueguito lo detectaron
Los males que iban pasando todos se los achacaron

Allá en Quila, Sinaloa hay una historia grabada
A las diez de la mañana el banco les asaltaba
La muerte en puros billetes en sus manos las llevaba

La verddad no se ha sabido la cosa es que lo mataron
Por quedarse con su parte
Y creo que hasta les pagaron su cuerpo en puros pedazos
Por el cerro lo encontraron

La traición que le jugaron con el tiempo han de pagar
En fin todos alacranes otro les ha de picar
La muerte del pelavacas otro traidor va a vengar

The Death of Pelavacas

The Ranch of Vizcaíno and all its land
The favorite hideouts of the fearsome Pelavacas
Whoever he laid his hands on always bore his mark

Reymundo Burgos was his name, everyone feared him
Maybe it was his bad reputation that made him well-known
Chased by the law, they called him Pelavacas

He started his criminal career early on
He took a pretty lady, and that’s how it all began
For anyone living hard, a grave is always ready

Ten years he spent in prison, they say he didn’t change
When he got out of jail, they quickly spotted him
All the troubles that came, they blamed on him

Out in Quila, Sinaloa, there’s a story etched in time
At ten in the morning, he’d rob the bank
Death in pure cash, he carried it in his hands

The truth hasn’t been known, but he was killed
For keeping his share
And I think they even paid for his body in pieces
They found him in the hills

The betrayal they played on him, in time they’ll pay
In the end, all scorpions, another will sting them
The death of Pelavacas will avenge another traitor
