Red Headed Stranger

El desconocido pelirrojo

Red Headed Stranger

El desconocido pelirrojo de Blue Rock Montana cabalgó hacia la ciudad un díaThe red headed stranger from Blue Rock Montana rode into town one day
Y bajo sus rodillas iba un brioso semental negro y trotando detrás iba un bayoAnd under his knees was a raging black stallion and lopin' behind was a bay
El desconocido pelirrojo tenía ojos como el trueno, sus labios estaban tristes y apretadosThe red headed stranger had eyes like the thunder his lips that were sad and tight
Su pequeño amor perdido yacía dormido en la ladera, su corazón estaba pesado como la nocheHis little lost love lay asleep on the hillside his heart was heavy as night

No lo cruces, no lo mandes, está salvaje en su dolor, cabalga y esconde su dolorDon't cross him don't boss him he's wild in his sorrow he's ridin' and hidin' his pain
No lo pelees, no lo desprecies, solo espera hasta mañana, tal vez cabalgará de nuevoDon't fight him don't spite him just wait till tomorrow maybe he'll ride on again

Una mujer de cabello amarillo se asomó por la ventana y lo observó pasar por su caminoA yellow haired woman leaned out of her window watched as he passed her way
Retrocedió atemorizada al ver al semental, pero lanzó miradas codiciosas al bayoShe drew back in fear at the sight of the stallion but cast greedy eyes on the bay
Pero ¿cómo podría saber ella que este bayo bailarín significaba más para él que la vida?But how could she know that this dancing bay pony meant more to him than life
Porque este era el caballo en el que su pequeña amada perdida cabalgaba cuando era su esposaFor this was the horse his little lost darlin' was ridden when she was his wife

La dama de cabello amarillo bajó al bar, buscó al desconocido allíThe yellow haired lady came down to the tavern looked up the stranger there
Él le compró una bebida y le dio algo de dinero, simplemente no parecía importarleHe bought her a drink and he gave her some money he just didn't seem to care
Ella lo siguió afuera mientras ensillaba su semental y se rió mientras intentaba agarrar al bayoShe followed him out as he saddled his stallion and laughed as she grabbed at the bay
Pero él la disparó tan rápido que no tuvieron tiempo de advertirla, nunca escuchó a nadie decirBut he shot her so quick they had no time to warn her she never heard anyone say

No lo cruces, no lo mandes...Don't cross him don't boss him...

Enterraron a la mujer de cabello amarillo al atardecer, el desconocido quedó libre por supuestoThey buried the yellow haired woman at sunset the stranger went free of course
Porque no puedes colgar a un hombre por dispararle a una mujer que intenta robar tu caballoCause you can't hang a man for shootin' a woman who's a tryin' to steal your horse

No lo cruces, no lo mandes...Don't cross him don't boss him...
