Pancho

Pancho stayedPancho se quedó
Among dirty cansEntre latas sucias
He never revivedNunca revivió
Revenge is harshLa venganza es dura

In Hualqui he was bornEn Hualqui nació
On a cloudy dayUn día nublado
Nothing strange about himNada raro el él
It was a holiday SundayEra domingo feriado

Great was his loveGrande fue su amor
Her name was MinaMina se llamaba
Without repercussionSin repercusión
They left at dawnPartieron al alba

Pancho looked at herPancho la miró
On the horse's backAl anca del caballo
It was a passion for twoFue pasión de a dos
Almost without wordsCasi sin palabras

His brother, a lover, swore to find herSu hermano amante juró encontrarla
To settle or continue the causeTransar o seguir la causa
His father ordered to imprison herSu padre encomendó encarcerlarla
Pancho tookPancho se llevó
The unsuspecting princessA la princesa incauta
Nine months go byNueve meses van
And the queen is no longer holyY la reina ya no es santa

Horseshoes and footprints, old stakes he foundHerraduras y huellas, estacas viejas encontró
The jealous brother fumbled in the dark at nightEl hermano celoso en la noche a tientas se desveló
Tends to share the most expensive thingsTiende a compartir las cosas más caras
He travels and searches in vain for the path of the SunViaja y busca en vano el camino del Sol
Pancho fell asleepPancho se durmió
With the witch on his backCon la bruja a cuestas

When he woke upCuando despertó
He saw some old sheetsVio unas planchas viejas
His brother-in-law put an endSu cuñado puso fin
To this eternal storyA esta historia eterna
With an iron he piercedCon un fierro atravezó
Pancho who made a grimaceA Pancho que hizo una mueca
The grimace of terrorLa mueca de terror
When life fades awayCuando la vida se aleja

In a chicken coop Mina anchored herselfEn un gallinero Mina se fondeo'
Her loving brother never understood herSu hermano amante nunca le entendió
With a burning iron he blinded her immediatelyCon un fierro ardiente enseguida la cegó
He doesn't know if it was his brother or his father who loved herNo sabe si fue su hermano o su padre quien la amó
He doesn't know if it was his brother or his father who loved herNo sabe si fue su hermano o su padre quien la amó

Pancho stayedPancho se quedó
Among dirty cansEntre latas sucias
He always complainedSiempre se quejó
Life is so harshLa vida es tan dura
