Disparada [English translation]

Prepare your heart for the things that I am going to tell

I come from the backwoods, I come from the hinterland

I come from the backcountry, and I may not please you

I've learned to say no, to see death without crying

And death the fate everything, and death the fate everything

It was out of place, I live to fix it

In the cattle heard I've been ox, but one day I rode

Not for my sake, or of whoever had been with me

That had any wish, but by necessity

Of the owner of a cattle herd whose cowboy died

Cowboy for long time, firm tie and strong arm

Many cattle, many people, I've held in life

I progressed like in a dream, and cowboy was a king

But the world was spinning under the legs of my horse

And in the dreams that I was dreaming, sights were getting clearer

Sights were getting clearer, until one day I woke up

Then I could not keep going brave as foreman

And the owner of cattle and people, because cattle we brand

conduct, savage, fatter and kill, but with people it is different

If you do not agree I cannot apologize

I do not sing to cheat, I'll take my guitar

I'll leave you aside, I'll sing elsewhere

In the cattle herd I've been ox, as cowboy I've been king

Not for me or anyone else who had been with me

Who wanted or who could, for anything owned

For anything of himself want to go further than I

But the world was spinning under the legs of my horse

Now that someday I rode I'm a knight

Firm tie and strong arm in a kingdom that has no king
