El Asesino Enhiervado

The High Killer

El Asesino Enhiervado

I saw him, he was aloneYo lo vi estaba solo
No one told meEso nadie me lo dijo
With bottles on the tableCon botellas en la meza
And a bag of powderY una bolsa de polvito
He tilted the bottleSe enpinaba la botella
And took a little puffY le dava un jaloncito

He pulled out a forty-fiveSaco una cuarenta y cinco
And a lady's portraitY el retrato de una dama
He lit it with a matchLo encendio con un serillo
And it burned on the tableY en la meza ardia en llamas
And he was really highY estaba bien enhiervado
With the devil in his gutsCon el diablo en las entrañas

He took a swig of whiskeySe avento un trago de whisky
And a line of cokeY un alineadon de coca
And went out of controlY salio descontrolado
Then he got into his truckLuego se subio en su troca
And from there he went to look for herY de hay se fue a buscarla
Heading towards ReynosaCon el rumbo de reynosa

They say he made it to the townDicen que llego hasta el pueblo
And crashed his truckY partio su camioneta
In front of a houseEnfrentito de una casa
And then he knocked on the doorY luego toco la puerta
And when the lady opened itY cuando le abrio la dama
What a big surprise it wasQue grande fue la sorpresa

He unloads his gunE descarga su pistola
Into her belly in cold bloodEn el bientre a sangre fria
As she was dyingCuando estaba agonisando
Sobbing, she saidSollozando le decia
You've killed your own sonHas matado al hijo tuyo
Who would have been born soonQue muy pronto naceria

Those who saw talkedLos que vieron platicaron
That before dying he saidQue antes de morir le dijo
I left you, my loveTe deje cariño mio
Because you have your vicePor que tu tienes tu vicio
What lesson were you going to giveQue enseñansa ibas a darle
Once your child was bornYa cuando naciera tu hijo

Upon hearing the confessionsAl oir las confeciones
He shot himself in the headSe pego un tiro en la frente
And embraced the ladyY abrazado de la dama
He also found deathTambien encontro la muerte
And upon seeing that sceneY al mirar aquella escena
The people were astonishedQuedo asombrada la gente

Drugs, alcohol, and weaponsLa droga, el trago y las armas
Cannot be companionsNo pueden ser compañeras
They are three negative thingsSon tres cosas negativas
And that's why they don't mixY por eso no se llevan
Whoever wants to combine themEl que quiera convinarlas
No good thing awaitsCosa buena no le espera
