They called him a bandit for looking straight at the sun,Le decían bandolero por mirar al sol de frente,
He loved his people so much, he didn't want to be president,quería tanto a su pueblo no quería ser presidente,
He learned from the mountains and their animal kingdomaprendió de la montaña y de su reino animal
that we must kill the snake and its deadly poison.que hay que matar la serpiente y su veneno mortal.

And he left, and he left, there were thirty with him,Y se fue, y se fue, eran treinta con él,
and he went, and he went, there were thirty with him.y se fue, y se fue, eran treinta con él.

Leaving the house, the cornfield, is screwed but it is good,Dejar la casa, la milpa, es jodido pero es bueno,
