Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Cuenta Cobrada by Julion Alvarez Y Su Norteño Banda from Spanish to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Este día mi pistola
this day my gun
De seguro se mancha de sangre
It sure gets stained with blood.
Este día vengaría a mi padre
This day I would avenge my father
Y ese llanto que tiro mi madre
And that cry that my mother threw
Este día lloran otros
This day others cry
Hoy les toca vestirse de luto
Today they have to dress in mourning
Pa que vean lo que se siente
So they can see what it feels like
Cuando en casa se vela un difunto
When a deceased is watched at home
Yo llore siendo un chiquillo
I cried being a child
Cuando vi asesinado a mi padre
When I saw my father murdered
Y también porque mataron
And also because they killed
La alegría que tenia mi madre
The joy that my mother had
(Y hay le va viejo
(And there is old
No se aguite oiga)
Don't worry, listen)
No falto quien le dijera
There is no lack of someone who told him
Al matón lo que el joven decía
To the thug what the young man said
Y este se armo hasta los dientes
And this one armed himself to the teeth
Pa' esperar el encuentro ese día
To wait for the meeting that day
Se buscaron.. se encontraron
They searched... they found each other
Y sus armas dispararon fuego
And their guns shot fire
Y con balas en sus cuerpos
And with bullets in their bodies
En silencio se quedaron luego
In silence they remained
Mas llego la madre viuda
But the widowed mother arrived
Y a caballo se llevo a su hijo
And on horseback he took his son
Y aun vive con su madre
And he still lives with his mother
Satisfecha con la muerte que hizo
Satisfied with the death she made
