El viento lo balanceaba
The wind swayed him
Ay, qué recuerdo tan negro
Oh, what a black memory
Era el cuerpo de mi padre
It was my father's body
Que tenía una soga al cuello
That he had a rope around his neck
Lo habían colgado el domingo
They had hung him on Sunday
De las ramas de aquel cedro
From the branches of that cedar
Apenas tenía 10 años
I was barely 10 years old
Lancé mi llanto de niño
I cried as a child
El perro tenía un balazo
The dog had a bullet
Lo supe por sus aullidos
I knew it from his howls
Pero arrastraba una espuela
But he dragged a spur
Que era de los asesinos
What happened to the murderers?
Señor, pues le pertenece
Lord, it belongs to you
O tal vez se le olvidó
Or maybe he forgot
Yo soy Jesús Maldonado
I am Jesús Maldonado
Hijo de aquel que colgó
Son of the one who hanged
Ya supondrá los motivos
He will guess the reasons
Por los que lo busco yo
For those who seek it
Después de todo, las leyes
After all, the laws
No van a poder salvarlo
They won't be able to save him
Sus hijos no tienen culpa
His children are not to blame
Pero eso no viene al caso
But that's beside the point
Si usted no llega a las doce
If you don't arrive at twelve
Tal vez no vuelva a mirarlos
Maybe I won't look at them again
En el Paso del Coyote
At Coyote Pass
Vaya muy bien preparado
Be very well prepared
Si usted no quiere pelea
If you don't want to fight
Lo arrastraré en mi caballo
I'll drag him on my horse
De las ramas de aquel cedro
From the branches of that cedar
Lo voy a dejar colgado
I'm going to leave it hanging
La muerte andaba a caballo
Death was on horseback
Los hechos los presenció
He witnessed the events
En el Paso del Coyote
At Coyote Pass
Este caso sucedió
This case happened
Ahí Jesús Maldonado
There Jesus Maldonado
A un juez de letras colgó
He hung a letter judge
