El Enmascarado

The Masked Man

El Enmascarado

The new ballad's outYa salió el nuevo corrido
Another feat of the outlawOtra hazaña del bandido
Who robbed the gold mineQue asaltó la mina de oro

The famous masked manEl famoso enmascarado
Rode in on his horsePenetró con su caballo
To the ranch by the streamA la hacienda del arroyo
And wiped out the cattleY acabó con el ganado

Another threat's been sentOtro aviso de amenaza
With the tip of a daggerCon la punta de una daga
That he drove into his own handQue clavó su propia mano
It was a sign of the slaughterFue señal de la matanza
Caused by the masked manQue causó el enmascarado
Whose face no one ever sawAl que nadie vio la cara
While he emptied the townMientras él vació el poblado

Many men chased him downLo persiguieron muchos hombres
Until they reached the rocky groundHasta llegar al pedregal
But at the peak of Las FloresPero en la cumbre de Las Flores
They couldn't catch up to himNo lo pudieron alcanzar

And just like the devil's a good friendY como el diablo es buen amigo
To those who fight for the badDe los que lucha por el mal
He protected him on the wayLo protegió por el camino
Giving him time to escapeDándole tiempo de escapar

A well-hidden caveUna cueva bien tapada
With curtains made of waterDe cortinas hechas de agua
That burst from a wide riverQue revientan ancho río
Is the bandit's homeEs la casa del bandido
Halfway up the waterfallA mitad de la cascada
Five hundred feet highCon quinientos pies de altura
From the cave Cerro de OroDe la gruta Cerro de Oro

No one knows the mysteriesNadie sabe los misterios
Of the famous masked manDel famoso enmascarado
For those who dared to venturePor aquellos voladeros
Over those cliffsLos que se han aventurado
Have served as foodHan servido de alimento
For the vultures and crowsA los buitres y a los cuervos
That you see flying aroundQue se ven volar por dentro

They chased him againLo persiguieron nuevamente
When they saw him robbingCuando lo vieron asaltar
But once more he got luckyPero de nuevo tuvo suerte
They're searching for him non-stopLo andan buscando sin cesar

And as many people sayY como dice mucha gente
That what I say is the truthQue lo que digo es la verdad
I offer to keep an eye outYo les ofrezco estar pendiente
For what really goes down.De lo que pase en realidad.
