Los Dos Hermanos Rivales

The Two Rival Brothers

Los Dos Hermanos Rivales

Among the books of criminalsEntre los libros de los criminales
I read the story that I now live singingLei la historia que hoy vivo cantando
Of a tragedy between flesh brothersDe un tragedia entre hermanos carnales
Who were born in the pure DurangoQue eran nacidos del mero durango

Since childhood they never loved each otherDesde la infancia jamás se quisieron
Different destinies separated themLos separaban distintos destinos
One became a good policemanPues uno fue policia de los buenos
And the other became a road banditY el otro fue saltadeor de caminos

They were Francisco and Javier Gomez SierraEran Francisco y Javier Gomez Sierra
Who this time faced fateLos que esta vez enfrentaba la suerte
In a small town hidden in the mountainsEn un pueblito escondido en la sierra
The two brothers fought to the deathLos dos hermanos peliaban a muerte

(And up the table of Navar, cousin)(Y arriba la mesa de navar, primo)
(The jump and the stream, boy)(El salto y arrollo, chico)

When Javier shouted at his brotherCuando Javier le gritaba a su hermano
That it was better for him to surrenderQue más valia que mejor se rindiera
I won't surrender, we better kill each otherYo no me rindo mejor nos matamos
After all, I am made of the same wood as youQue al cabo soy de tu misma madera

Javier spoke to him with very sad wordsJavier le hablo con muy tristes palabras
I came here to fulfill my dutiesYo bine aquí por cumplir mis deveres
I will kill you if I have to do itTe matare si es presiso que lo haga
Because you have lived mocking the lawsPor que has vivido burlando alas leyes

But Francisco didn't understand reasonsPero francisco no entendía razones
And shot like a brave manY disparo como lo hace un valiente
Javier also shot his gunTambién javier disparo su pistola
And killed him with a shot to the foreheadY lo mató de un balazo en la frente
