To start singing,Para empezar a cantar,
To start singing,Para empezar a cantar,
I ask for permission first.Pido permiso primero.

Gentlemen, it's the mornings,Señores son las mañanas,
Gentlemen, it's the mornings,Señores son las mañanas,

They took him down through the mountains,Lo bajaron por la sierra,
They took him down through the mountains,Lo bajaron por la sierra,
All tied up like a firecracker.Todo liado como un cuete.

They pass him through San Miguel,Lo pasan por san miguel,
They pass him through San Miguel,Lo pasan por san miguel,
They take him to Sombrerete.Lo llevan a sombrerete.

Listen, my general,Oiga usted mí general,
Listen, my general,Oiga usted mí general,
I too was a brave man.Yo también fuí hombre valiente.

I want you to shoot me,Quiero que usted me fusile,
I want you to shoot me,Quiero que usted me fusile,
Publicly in front of people.En público de la gente.

(Music)(Música)

So much fighting and fighting,Tanto pelear y pelear,
So much fighting and fighting,Tanto pelear y pelear,
With the Mauser in hand.Con el máuser en la mano.

I came to die by firing squad,Vine a morir fusilado,
I came to die by firing squad,Vine a morir fusilado,
In the cemetery of Durango.En el pantéon de durango.

Goodbye also to the clock,Adiós también el reloj,
Goodbye also to the clock,Adiós también el reloj,
Its hours tormented me.Sus horas me atormentaban.

Because they clearly told me,Pues clarito me decían,
Because they clearly told me,Pues clarito me decían,
The hours I was lacking.Las horas que me faltaban.

With this, I bid farewell,Ya con esta me despido,
With this, I bid farewell,Ya con esta me despido,
Because I can't sing anymore.Porque cantar ya no puedo.

Gentlemen, it's the mornings,Señores son las mañanas,
