Hermanos Mata Lyrics in English Chalino Sanchez , Los Amables Del Norte
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Hermanos Mata by Chalino Sanchez from Spanish to English.
Estado de Michoacán
State of Michoacán
Ya casi iba a anochecer
It was almost getting dark
Se oyeron cuatro balazos
Four shots were heard
Y la gente corrió a ver
And people ran to see
Dos hombres estaban muertos
Two men were dead
Y no se sabía por qué
And nobody knew why
Eran los hermanos Mata
They were the Mata brothers
Los que ya estaban tendidos
Who were already lying there
Se mataron entre sí
They killed each other
El motivo fue un novillo
The reason was a steer
Que Jorge le mató a Pedro
That Jorge killed Pedro's steer
En su rancho el Potrerillo
At his ranch El Potrerillo
Porque se metió a la milpa
Because it went into the cornfield
Jorge mató al animal
Jorge killed the animal
Y Pedro le reclamó
And Pedro confronted him
'Hermano, eso está muy mal'
'Brother, that's really wrong'
Jorge sacó su pistola
Jorge pulled out his pistol
Y le empezó a disparar
And started shooting at him
Le disparó tres balazos
He shot him three times
Y Pedro así le decía
And Pedro said to him
'Hermano, ¿qué estás haciendo?
'Brother, what are you doing?
¿Por qué me quitas la vida?
Why are you taking my life?
¿No te importa ver llorar
Don't you care to see
A nuestra madre querida?'
our dear mother cry?'
Pedro era un hombre calmado
Pedro was a calm man
Pero también muy valiente
But also very brave
Él no quería dispararle
He didn't want to shoot him
Pero ya sentía la muerte
But he could already feel death
También saco su pistola
He also pulled out his pistol
Y le dio un tiro en la frente
And shot him in the forehead
Su madrecita lloraba
Their dear mother cried
Sin consuelo en el panteón
Without comfort at the cemetery
Por sus hijos adorados
For her beloved sons
Eran toda su ilusión
They were her whole dream
Unos dos días después
About two days later
Diosito se la llevó
God took her away
