Carrera a Muerte

Death Race

Carrera a Muerte

On the starting line two horsesEn la raya dos caballos
At the finish line two gunsEn la meta dos pistolas
In the town, there was no fairEn el pueblo no había feria
There were no balls leftEn él ya no había bolas
It was a death raceEra una carrera a muerte
It was a race aloneEra una carrera a solas

Juan Pedro says to JacintoJuan Pedro dice a Jacinto
Let's have a drinkVamos a echarnos un trago
Because if Pinto fails youPorque si te falla el Pinto
Tonight, I'll finish youEn esta noche te acabo
And I know well that not even the windY yo sé bien que ni el viento
Can beat my ColoradoLe gana a mi Colorado

Then Jacinto saidEntonces dijo Jacinto
While Juan Pedro was drinkingMientras Juan Pedro bebía
May God take you to his kingdomQue Dios te lleve a su reino
Forgive your audacityQue perdone tu osadia
I'm going to win the raceVoy a ganar la carrera
And that woman will be mineY esa mujer va a ser mía

And with the full moonY estando la Luna llena
They toasted to MariaBrindaron por la Maria
She was the beautiful womanEra la hembra bonita
That both men wantedQue los dos hombres querian
With the full moonEstando la Luna llena
They both counted at the same timeLos dos a un tiempo contaron
And where they toastedY donde hicieron el brindis
They left the dustLa polvadera dejaron

Past the halfway pointPasado el medio llano
The horses were strugglingLos caballos se atracaban
As if they already sensedComo si ya presintieran
That death was nearQue a la muerte se acercaban
And upon reaching the finish lineY al llegar a la meta
They tied the raceEsa carrera empataban

And with the full moonY estando la Luna llena
They drew their gunsDescontaron sus pistolas
In the town, there was no fairEn el pueblo no había feria
There were no balls leftEn el pueblo no había bolas
With the full moonEstando la Luna llena
Five gunshots rang outCinco balazos sonaros
Three ended PedroTres acabaron con Pedro
Two killed JacintoDos a Jacinto mataron
