| He laid face down
| se acostó boca abajo
|
| In the desert sand
| En la arena del desierto
|
| Clutching a sixgun
| Agarrando un sixgun
|
| In his hand
| En su mano
|
| And me and Maria went to watch him die
| Y yo y Maria fuimos a verlo morir
|
| Suddenly the raised and said
| De repente la levantó y dijo
|
| Help me now, or I shoot you dead
| Ayúdame ahora, o te mataré a tiros
|
| I got an arrow in my back
| Tengo una flecha en mi espalda
|
| And it aches as hell
| Y duele como el infierno
|
| So we jumped on down in the yellow sand
| Así que saltamos hacia abajo en la arena amarilla
|
| Started helping this gunfighting man
| Comenzó a ayudar a este hombre que pelea con armas
|
| He was sixfeet tall’n’four feet wide
| Tenía seis pies de alto y cuatro pies de ancho
|
| And the wagon tipped from side to side
| Y el carro volcó de lado a lado
|
| Driving into the red, red sun
| Conduciendo hacia el sol rojo, rojo
|
| Poor mule he could hardly run
| Pobre mula que apenas podía correr
|
| I turned my head to Mary
| Volteé mi cabeza hacia María
|
| And she turned her head to mine
| Y ella giró su cabeza hacia la mía
|
| And we knew
| Y sabíamos
|
| What he was going to do
| que iba a hacer
|
| He was going to shoo-ooh
| Iba a shoo-ooh
|
| His whole way through
| Todo su camino a través
|
| And his name was on the pistol
| Y su nombre estaba en la pistola
|
| And he was son of a gun
| Y él era hijo de un arma
|
| As we went driving into town
| Mientras íbamos conduciendo a la ciudad
|
| We saw these posters all around
| Vimos estos carteles por todas partes.
|
| There was a big reward upon his head
| Había una gran recompensa sobre su cabeza
|
| 'Cause the Marshall wanted to see him dead
| Porque Marshall quería verlo muerto
|
| As we talked about this gunfighting man
| Mientras hablábamos de este pistolero
|
| We saw the steel in his hand
| Vimos el acero en su mano
|
| Now folks I want to see you run
| Ahora amigos, quiero verlos correr
|
| To the rhythm of my gun
| Al ritmo de mi arma
|
| And we knew
| Y sabíamos
|
| What he was going to do
| que iba a hacer
|
| He was going to shoo-ooh
| Iba a shoo-ooh
|
| His whole way through
| Todo su camino a través
|
| And his name was on the pistol
| Y su nombre estaba en la pistola
|
| And he was son of a gun
| Y él era hijo de un arma
|
| Well, I was saved and I was glad
| Bueno, me salvé y me alegré
|
| Thanks to my old Stetson hat
| Gracias a mi viejo sombrero Stetson
|
| It went through the top
| Pasó por la parte superior
|
| Only leaving a spot
| Solo dejando un lugar
|
| It was fabricated by an Indian bud
| Fue fabricado por un capullo indio
|
| Who did not now that he was hot
| Quien no ahora que estaba caliente
|
| Hanging on the posters everywhere
| Colgando en los carteles en todas partes
|
| Well, I took one step back
| Bueno, di un paso atrás
|
| And tipped my hat
| Y me incliné el sombrero
|
| And looked him in his eyes
| Y lo miró a los ojos
|
| Oh shit, he was telling me the dirtiest lies
| Oh mierda, me estaba diciendo las mentiras más sucias
|
| I had no time to get away
| No tuve tiempo de escapar
|
| I was trapped in the USA
| Estaba atrapado en los EE. UU.
|
| C’mon Mary, let’s get out of his war
| Vamos Mary, salgamos de su guerra
|
| And we knew
| Y sabíamos
|
| What he was going to do
| que iba a hacer
|
| He was going to shoo-ooh
| Iba a shoo-ooh
|
| His whole way through
| Todo su camino a través
|
| And his name was on the pistol…
| Y su nombre estaba en la pistola...
|
| And we knew
| Y sabíamos
|
| What he was going to do
| que iba a hacer
|
| He was going to shoo-ooh
| Iba a shoo-ooh
|
| His whole way through
| Todo su camino a través
|
| And his name was on the pistol
| Y su nombre estaba en la pistola
|
| And he was son of a gun | Y él era hijo de un arma |
