Las Tres Tumbas
K-Paz De La Sierra
The Three Graves
They left at dawn
The roosters were crowing
It was going to be a two-day journey,
On the back of their horses
The party was being held,
At the pitayo ranch
Their father gave them advice
As they were about to leave
Take good care of yourselves
Because life ends
In the words of the old man
The three brothers thought
Pedro tells Fabian
Give Jose Luis a drink
Let him drink that mezcal
So he can feel happy
As soon as we arrive
We're going to have fun
When they arrived at the dance
They headed to dance
Death was in the air
They didn't sense it
As their father had told them
When they left the ranch
There were many rivals
Old grudges arose
Lurking behind the huts
They all opened fire
That's how cowards kill
When fear haunts them
An old lonely man
Without any hope
Takes care of the ranch and three horses
As his entire fortune
He goes to the cemetery from time to time
To visit the three graves
