Corrido de Everardo

Ballad of Everardo

Corrido de Everardo

How have you been EverardoComo has estado everardo
I heard that you had satSupe que te habias sentado
In a wheelchairEn una silla de rueda
Because of some gunshotsA causa de unos balazos
And that you were in a comaY que estuvistes en coma
As I had been informedSegún me habian informado

I realize now that it's trueYa me doy cuanta que es cierto
I'm surprisedMira que estoy sorprendido
I don't share your sadnessNo comparto tu tristeza
And you know the reasonsY tu sabes los motivos
I had planned to kill youTenía pensado matarte
But I prefer you alivePero te prefiero vivo

Where are those bossesDonde estan aquellos jefes
For whom you were a hitmanDe quien fuiste pistolero
That implacable powerAquel poder implacable
Those nerves of steelAquellos nervios de acero
That you always boasted aboutQue siempre me presumiste
Saying you were the bestDecias que eras el primero

And there's compa KomanderY ahi quedó compa komander
Pulling with the big bandJalese con la bandona
No fear, my compaCero miedo mi compa

Look, Mr. CommanderMire señor comandante
I appreciate your complimentAgradezco su cumplido
And good intentionsY las buenas intenciones
But you haven't understoodPero usted no ha comprendido
That from where I amQue aqui de donde me encuentro
I can shoot you downPuedo destrozarlo a tiros

That courage you speak ofEse valor del que me habla
You know I still have itSabe que aun lo conservo
And the great friendshipsY las grandes amistades
Sent me gunmenMe mandaron pistoleros
To cut off the headPa´que corten la cabeza
Of anyone who messes with meAl que me la haga de pedo

Underneath this zarapeDebajo de este zarape
That you see on my legsQue miras aqui en mis piernas
I carry the same gunTraigo la misma pistola
That in that shootoutQue en aquella balacera
Made you and all your peopleA usted con toda su gente
RunLos hicimos que corrieran

With this same gunCon esta misma pistola
I'm going to send you to hellVoy a mandarlo al infierno
So that on the day I dieQue en el dia en que yo me muera
I don't want to see you againNo quiero volver a verlo
Because right there in hellPorque ahi mismo en el infierno
I'll kill you againLo vuelbo a matar de nuevo.
