El Corrido Del Invalido
Como has estado everardo
Supe que te habian sentado
En una silla de ruedas
A causa de unos balazos
Y que estuvistes en coma
Segun me habian informado
Ya me doy cuenta que es cierto
Mira que estoy sorpendido
No comparto tu tristeza
Y tu sabes los motivos
Tenia pensado matarte
Pero te prefiero vivo
Donde estan aquellos jefes
De que fuistes pistolero
Aquel poder implacable
Aquellos nervios de acero
Que siempre me presumiste
Decias que eras el primero
Mire señor comandante
Agradezco su cumplido
Y las buenas intenciones
Pero usted no ha comprendido
Que aqui de donde me encuentro
Puedo destrozarlo a tiros
Ese valor del que me habla
Sabe que aun lo conservo
Y las grandes amistades
Me mandaron pistoleros
Pa' que corten la cabeza
A que me la haga de pedro
Debajo de este zarape
Que miras aqui en mis piernas
Traigo la misma pistola
Que en aquella balazera
A usted con toda su gente
Los hicimos que corrieran
Con esta misma pistola
Voy a mandarlo al infierno
Y en el dia en que yo me muera
No quiero volver a verlo
Por que ahi mismo en el infierno
Lo vuelo a matar de nuevo
The Ballad of the Invalid
How have you been, Everardo
I heard they had you sitting
In a wheelchair
Because of some gunshots
And that you were in a coma
According to what I was told
I realize it's true
I'm really surprised
I don't share your sadness
And you know the reasons
I was planning to kill you
But I prefer you alive
Where are those bosses
That you were a gunman for
That implacable power
Those nerves of steel
That you always boasted about
Saying you were the best
Look, Mr. Commander
I appreciate your compliment
And good intentions
But you haven't understood
That from where I am
I can shoot you down
That courage you speak of
You know I still have it
And my great friendships
Sent hitmen
To cut off your head
To make an example of you
Underneath this serape
That you see on my legs
I carry the same gun
That in that shootout
Made you and all your people
Run away
With this same gun
I'm going to send you to hell
And on the day I die
I don't want to see you again
Because right there in hell
I'll kill you all over again
