Las Dos Cruces (part. Diferente Nivel)

General, don't be so violent anymoreGeneral, ya no sea tan violento
For my father is almost deadQue mi padre ya esta casi muerto
They found what they were looking for the mostEncontraron lo que más buscaban
They already burned the grass on the hillYa quemaron la hierba en el cerro

Give me the blows that are neededDeme a mí los golpes que agan falta
For my father is dyingQue mi padre se me está muriendo
If you prefer, shoot meSi prefiere, métame un plomazo
But don't punish my old man anymorePero ya no castigue a mi viejo

My father is a farmer, that's trueMi padre es sembrador, eso es cierto
But he is also an honest manPero el también es un hombre honesto
He hasn't killed, never caused harmNo a matado, nunca a hecho ni un daño
He's just a poor rancherSolamente es un pobre ranchero

Who has planted that grass for yearsQue a sembrado esa hierba por años
The one you call poisonAla que ustedes llaman veneno
Poison is what I carry in my bloodVeneno es el que traego en la sangre
For seeing my father sufferingPor mirar a mi padre sufriendo

Tied up, my defenseless fatherAmarrado mi padre indefenso
Breathed and his breath was leaving himRespiraba y se le iba el resuello
A rope that tied his bodyUn mecate que ataba su cuerpo
Hurt and burned violentlyLastimaba y quemaba violento

I was a powerless and weak childYo era un niño impotente y sin fuerza
Crying and crying to see himQue lloraba y lloraba por verlo

General, don't be so violent anymoreGeneral, ya no sea tan violento
Please, set my father freePor favor, deje libre a mi padre
I have pregnant mares and mulesTengo cuacos y lleguas preñadas
That can pay for the crimeQue pueden el delito pagarle

With disdain and a smileCon desprecio y con una sonrrisa
He replied, I am a justiciarMe contesto yo soy justiciero
Who treats criminals like thisQue trata a delincuente como este
Who pretend to be good ranchersQue aparentan ser buenos rancheros

I went with rage to tighten his neckFui con rabia pa'l cuello apretarle
He cocked the rifle and aimed at my chestSerrojo el rifle y me apunto al pecho
A low-ranking soldier put his armUn soldado razo metio el brazo
Said go, boy, to the hillDijo vete muchacho pa'l cerro

Go take care of your mother and siblingsVe a cuidar a tu madre y hermanos
This case has no remedyQue este cazo no tiene remedio
I saw my father beaten and tiredVi a mi pare golpeado y cansado
I, scared, ran awayYo asustado me sali corriendo

I heard two Mauser shotsEscuche dos descargas de mauser
I returned to see what I already expectedRegrese a ver lo que ya esperaba
Behind a thicket, reloadedRecargado detras de un aguaje
The low-ranking soldier was agonizingEl soldado razo agonizaba

The other shot was for my fatherLa otra descarga fue pa mi padre
Who died like a man on the lineQue murió como un hombre en la ralla

Two wooden crosses on the hillDos cruces de madera en el monte
For my father and for a good soldierPa mi padre y para un buen soldado
With the date of September sixthCon la fecha de un seis de septiembre
