Pistolero [English translation]

he was but a boy, when they came he would slumber

they entered the cabin with the setting sun

and like in a trance, he saw three shots would thunder

his father was screaming: run fast, my boy, run

he saw when they killed both his father and mother

they raged like a twister, he didn't know why

they rode away cursing, he prayed and he shuddered

he swore that for this, they would all have to die

(REF)

O pistolero, your road is rocky, it leads nowhere

And your tragic fate, who can bear ,

What will tomorrow bring?

O pistolero, you are riding through wind and night

Reaper angel who's bound to fight

And you don't fear a thing

The hamlet lay still in the midday sun scorching

he stood there alone with his back to the wall

the hour of vengeance was now fast approaching

so many years searching, til' he found them all

He had the sombrero pushed deep in his face

His last Cigarillo now almost was gone

the three mexicanos saw him slow down the pace

that's when Pistolero, presented his gun

O hohohohohohohohoooo

Pistole Pistolero, show the devil Companero

you are stronger than you seem

O hohohohohohohohoooo

Pistole Pistolero, just keep riding companero

you keep chasing your dream

they put down their poker, and began to shudder

the three desperados, that did him so wrong

But then he remembered the voice of his mother

my boy, let them go, you've had pain for too long

the shaking three men wouldn't dare make a sound then

he laid down his bible, and on it his gun

they still stood there speechless, with noone around them

as he turned his mount and rode into the sun
