La Venganza de Tahur
Hallaron a un hombre muerto
Arriba de la ladera
Le destrozaron la cara y lo cubrieron con piedras
Deseaban sus asesinos que no lo reconocieran
Un niño gritó llorando, ese señor es mi padre
Porque le miró en el brazo tatuadas sus iniciales
Por unas deudas de juego lo mataron sus rivales
El niño se fué del pueblo, la muerte quedo olvidada
Pasaron 14 años un jinete regresaba
Se le reflejaba el diablo y la muerte en la mirada
Se dirigió a la cantina y le dijo al cantinero
Quisiera que me llevaras hasta una mesa de juego
Pero yo quiero jugar con los mas ricos del pueblo
A los hermanos martínez, tahúres de aquel condado
Les corrieron avisar que un sureño había llegado
Dijeron que lo pasaran que al fin ya estaba jugando
Jugaron toda la noche y ya casi amaneciendo
Les dijo voy a cobrarles lo que me salen debiendo
Pensaron que era una broma pues el estaba perdiendo
Yo fuí testigo señores de aquella mala jugada
Por no pagarles a mi padre lo mataron a la mala
Y ya no les dijo nada les dió un balazo en la cara
Tahur's Revenge
They found a dead man
On top of the hillside
They smashed his face and covered him with stones
His killers wished he wouldn't be recognized
A child cried out, that man is my father
Because he saw his initials tattooed on his arm
He was killed by his rivals over gambling debts
The child left the town, death was forgotten
14 years passed, a rider returned
The devil and death reflected in his gaze
He went to the bar and told the bartender
I'd like you to take me to a gambling table
But I want to play with the richest in town
To the Martinez brothers, gamblers of that county
They were warned that a southerner had arrived
They said let him in, he's finally playing
They played all night and it was almost dawn
He said I'm going to collect what they owe me
They thought it was a joke as he was losing
I was a witness, gentlemen, of that foul play
Because they killed my father by not paying him
And he didn't say anything, he shot them in the face
