El Coronel

The Colonel

El Coronel

They're looking for some beasts in the mountainsAndan buscando en la sierra unas fieras
A lieutenant with his menUn teniente con su gente
Meeting Nacho, a colonelEncontrandose a nacho un coronoel
Just for his bad luck, just for his bad luckNomas pa su mala suerte, nomas pa su mala suerte

I'm a man, not a gang member, lieutenantSoy hombre no gabillero teniente
If you want, I'll show youSi quiere se lo demuestro
You're selling your rank very highViene vendiendo muy caro su rango
But I'll lower the price, but I'll lower the pricePero yo l bajo el precio, pero yo le bajo el precio

I'm a colonel, born in the mountainsSoy coronel natural de la sierra
I inherited it from my fatherDe mi padre yo lo he heredado
That outfit you're wearing, my lieutenantEse atuendo que usted trae mi teniente
The government gave it to you, the government gave it to youEl gobierno se lo ha dado, el gobierno se lo ha dado

Nothing is eternal in lifeNo hay nada eterno jamas en la vida
You know that, lieutenantUsted los sabe teniente
The hairs fall from the back of the horseSe caen los pelos del lomo del cuako
May the rider not fall, may the rider not fallQue no se caega el jinete, que no se caega el jinete

Don't stir up more trouble, lieutenantNo siembre mas remolinos teniente
Hats will flyQue van a volar sombreros
I advise you to follow the pathYo le aconsejo que siga el camino
And look for your gang members, and look for your gang membersY busque a sus gabilleros, y busque a sus gabilleros

We must tie up my horse, gentlemenHay que amarrar a mi cuako señores
And I won't be longY no tardaré en volver
I'm going to sing my verses in the mountainsVoy a cantar mis versos en la sierra
