La Venganza de Tahur

Tahur's Revenge

La Venganza de Tahur

They found a dead manHallaron a un hombre muerto
On top of the hillsideArriba de la ladera
They smashed his face and covered him with stonesLe destrozaron la cara y lo cubrieron con piedras
His killers wished he wouldn't be recognizedDeseaban sus asesinos que no lo reconocieran
A child cried out, that man is my fatherUn niño gritó llorando, ese señor es mi padre
Because he saw his initials tattooed on his armPorque le miró en el brazo tatuadas sus iniciales
He was killed by his rivals over gambling debtsPor unas deudas de juego lo mataron sus rivales
The child left the town, death was forgottenEl niño se fué del pueblo, la muerte quedo olvidada

14 years passed, a rider returnedPasaron 14 años un jinete regresaba
The devil and death reflected in his gazeSe le reflejaba el diablo y la muerte en la mirada
He went to the bar and told the bartenderSe dirigió a la cantina y le dijo al cantinero
I'd like you to take me to a gambling tableQuisiera que me llevaras hasta una mesa de juego
But I want to play with the richest in townPero yo quiero jugar con los mas ricos del pueblo

To the Martinez brothers, gamblers of that countyA los hermanos martínez, tahúres de aquel condado
They were warned that a southerner had arrivedLes corrieron avisar que un sureño había llegado
They said let him in, he's finally playingDijeron que lo pasaran que al fin ya estaba jugando
They played all night and it was almost dawnJugaron toda la noche y ya casi amaneciendo
He said I'm going to collect what they owe meLes dijo voy a cobrarles lo que me salen debiendo
They thought it was a joke as he was losingPensaron que era una broma pues el estaba perdiendo
I was a witness, gentlemen, of that foul playYo fuí testigo señores de aquella mala jugada
Because they killed my father by not paying himPor no pagarles a mi padre lo mataron a la mala
And he didn't say anything, he shot them in the faceY ya no les dijo nada les dió un balazo en la cara
