Catarino Y Los Rurales

Catarino And The Rural Police

Catarino Y Los Rurales

One Sunday it was for sureUn domingo fue por cierto
They sang, drank wineCantaron tomaron vino
They raised seven deadLevantaron siete muertos
That Catarino has killedQue ah matado Catarino

Catarino and the rural policeCatarino y los rurales
They engaged in gunfireSe agarraron a balazos
Catarino was shooting bulletsCatarino hechaba balas
The rural police with cannonsLos rurales canonazos

Catarino would tell themCatarino les decía
What beautiful sandy areasQue bonitos arenales
To engage in gunfirePara agarrarme a balazos
With the so-called rural policeCon los mentados rurales

Catarino would shout at themCatarino les gritaba
Tipping his hatArriscandoce el sombrero
I still have plenty of ammunitionTodavía me sobra parque
They are pure steel bulletsSon puras balas de acero

Catarino would shout at themCatarino les gritaba
With all his voiceCon toda su voz completa
That in the end they do nothing to meQue al cabo no me hacen nada
I am the lion of AcaponetaSoy el leon de acaponeta

Catarino would tell themCatarino les decía
Behind a wire fenceDetras de un cerco de alambre
Here I am for you to eat meAquí estoy pa que me coman
Wretched starving deadDesgraciados muertos de hambre

With this I bid you farewellYa con esta me despido
Plucking some rosesDeshojando unos rosales
Here they end singingAquí se acaban cantando
