| He was only a lavender cowboy
| Solo era un vaquero lavanda
|
| The hairs on his chest were two,
| Los pelos de su pecho eran dos,
|
| But he wished to follow the heroes
| Pero él deseaba seguir a los héroes
|
| And fight like the he-men do.
| Y lucha como lo hacen los machos.
|
| But he was inwardly troubled
| pero por dentro estaba turbado
|
| By a dream that gave him no rest,
| Por un sueño que no le dio descanso,
|
| That he’d go, with heroes in action
| Que iría, con héroes en acción
|
| With only two hairs on his chest.
| Con solo dos pelos en el pecho.
|
| First he tried many a hair tonic,
| Primero probó muchos tónicos para el cabello,
|
| 'Twar rubbed in on him each night,
| 'Twar se frotaba en él cada noche,
|
| But still when he looked in the mirror
| Pero aún cuando se miró en el espejo
|
| Those two hairs were ever in sight.
| Esos dos cabellos estuvieron siempre a la vista.
|
| But with a spirit undaunted
| Pero con un espíritu impertérrito
|
| He wandered out to fight,
| salió a pelear,
|
| Just like an old-time knight errant
| Como un caballero andante de antaño
|
| To win combat for the right.
| Para ganar el combate por la derecha.
|
| He battled for Red Nellie’s honour
| Luchó por el honor de Red Nellie
|
| And cleaned out a holdup’s nest,
| Y limpió el nido de un asaltante,
|
| He died with his six guns a-smoking
| Murió con sus seis pistolas fumando
|
| With only two hairs on chest. | Con solo dos pelos en el pecho. |
