Pistolero [English translation]

He was still a child, and slept when they came

But their shots woke him up

He leaped out of bed, and saw three mexicans

And heard his father yell "Run, boy, run!"

He saw how father and mother got shot

And couldn't do anything but pray and scream

They only laughed scornfully, then rode off

He swore to himself, He would never forgive them

(REF:)

O pistolero! on the road to nowhere

Desperado from mexico, where will you be tomorrow ?

O Pistolero! You're riding through night and wind

Like an angel of wrath, but you are not alone

The village lay silent in the gleaming sun

He stood there alone, back against the wall

Today the day of vengeance had come

He searched a long time, until he finallyhad found them

His sombrero hat darkened his face (1)

And his Cigarillo had died away

The three mexicans did not recognize him

When he ever so slowly lifted his hand

(REF:)

O pistolero! on the road to nowhere

Desperado from mexico, where will you be tomorrow ?

O Pistolero! You're riding through night and wind

Like an angel of wrath, but you are not alone

Pistole Pistolero ! Show the devil, Companero,

that you're stronger than him

Pistole Pistolero! Keep riding, Companero

Chasing your dream

They stood in front of him and he looked them in the eye

The eyes he never had forgotten

It was as if he heard the voice of his father

"My son, let it go, you've hated for too long"

He put the pistol back into the holster

Climbed on his horse, for the chase was over

He spurred his horse, and rode like hell

Alone into the gleaming sun

(REF:)

O pistolero! on the road to nowhere

O Pistolero! You're riding through night and wind

Like an angel of wrath, but you are not alone

Pistole Pistolero ! Show the devil, Companero,

that you're stronger than him

Pistole Pistolero! Keep riding, Companero

Chasing your dream
