THREE TENS AGAINST ONE

THE DIFFERENCE WAS NOTICED

THEY WERE COVERED WITH THE NIGHT

AND THEY FORMED THE STRATEGY

I WAS IN THE WHITE

LIKE A DAM ON THE MOUNTAIN

TITLE OF THE FUNCTION

THE DANCE OF THE BUZZLE

THEY WANTED TO LOOK AT MY BLOOD

THEY PAID FOR MY MEAT

WHY SO MANY INCONVENIENCES?

I KNOW THEY COME LOOKING FOR ME

FORGET THE PROTOCOL

I WAS ALREADY WAITING FOR YOU

THEY ONLY HAVE ONE OPTION

THERE ARE A HUNDRED RIFLES AIMING

WHO IS COMING IN COMMAND

COME AND SAY HELLO TO A MAN

TELL ME WHY THE FUCK

MY NAME IS ON YOUR LIST

I ALREADY KNOW YOU

SAID A VOICE WITH PATIENCE

BECAUSE I KNEW THAT I ENVY HER

HE SAID IT WAS COMPETITION

WHERE IS THE VALUE?

I THINK THEY LOST IT

TODAY ANY SKEN MEON

BUY EVERYTHING WITH MONEY

I PUT THE PRICES

AND MY LEATHER IS NOT FOR SALE

TELL THE ONE WHO SENT YOU

THEY SELL EGGS IN THE STORE

THE DANCE IS OVER

HOW THEY ARRIVED THEY GONE

WHEN WATCHING THAT ACTION

they all took flight

WHY DON'T I DEPLOY THEM

THE GUNMEN SAID

MY WORD WAS THE OPTION

TO SURRENDER ME TO THE TREATHER

THE ADJUSTMENT DON'T LATE

FOR THE ONE WHO WAS ENTANGLED

WHEN YOU GO I COME

that's how I SAID THAT MESSAGE

SINCERELY THE LORD

LIFELESS THEY FOUND THEM

FOR ANY CLARIFICATION

FOR THOSE WHO TRY AGAIN

zopilote — vulture

Zopilote translates to "vulture". It's a striking and somewhat unusual word to find in a song, making it memorable and intriguing.

In the context of "La Danza Del Zopilote", the word is central to the song's title and theme. The zopilote, a scavenger, is used metaphorically to represent those who are circling, waiting to prey on the protagonist. This imagery creates a vivid and intense atmosphere, hinting at conflict and danger, which makes the word particularly enticing for a learner.

Julian Mercado's "La Danza Del Zopilote" (The Dance of the Vulture) throws us right into a tense standoff! The song starts with a stark image: "TRES DECENAS CONTRA UNO" [THREE DOZENS AGAINST ONE], immediately setting up a dramatic, unequal fight. Our narrator is the target, feeling like "UNA PRESA EN EL MONTE" [PREY IN THE MOUNTAINS], and he knows a hit has been put out on him, with people paid for his "CARNE" [FLESH].

But this isn't a story of a helpless victim. Oh no. Our guy is ready, even telling his attackers to "OLVIDEN EL PROTOCOLO" [FORGET THE PROTOCOL] because he was already waiting for them. He's got "CIEN RIFLES APUNTANDO" [ONE HUNDRED RIFLES AIMING] back at them! He even calls out the leader, asking "PORQUE CHINGADOS EN SU LISTA ESTA MI NOMBRE" [WHY THE HELL IS MY NAME ON YOUR LIST]. It turns out it's all about envy and competition. The narrator, with a bluntness that's pretty funny, tells them, "EN LA TIENDA VENDEN HUEVOS" [THEY SELL EGGS IN THE STORE], basically telling them to grow a pair. In the end, the tables turn completely, and the traitors are dealt with, with a final, chilling message: "CUANDO USTEDES VAN YO VENGO" [WHEN YOU GO, I COME], signed simply, "EL SEÑOR" [THE GENTLEMAN]. It's a bold and defiant tale of facing down enemies and coming out on top.
