La Venganza Del Viejito Lyrics in English Los Cadetes De Linares

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song La Venganza Del Viejito by Los Cadetes De Linares from Spanish to English.
Un viejito solitario
A lonely old man
Fue al estado de Guerrero
He went to the state of Guerrero
Para vengar a sus hijos
To avenge his children
Fue a contratar pistoleros
He went to hire gunmen
Ahí se encontró a un compadre
There he met a friend
Que era el padrino de Pedro
Who was Pedro's godfather?
Compadre, supe del caso
Compadre, I heard about the case
Que sucedió en el Pitayo
What happened in Pitayo
Que mataron a mi ahijado
They killed my godson
A José Luis y a Fabián
To José Luis and Fabián
Tengo quince pistoleros
I have fifteen gunmen
Pa' lo que quiera mandar
For whatever you want to send
Mis hijos eran valientes
My children were brave
También a varios mataron
They also killed several
Si me ayudas a vengarlos
If you help me avenge them
Te doy diez mil centenarios
I give you ten thousand centenarians
¿Yo pa' qué quiero el dinero?
Why do I want the money?
Si ya no puedo abrazarlos
If I can't hug them anymore
Mandaron a una persona
They sent a person
A los Estados Unidos
To the United States
En un pueblo de Arizona
In a town in Arizona
Compró diez cuernos de chivo
He bought ten goat horns
Con sesenta cargadores
With sixty magazines
Todos los trajo escondidos
He brought them all hidden
Se fueron para el Pitayo
They went to Pitayo
Buscando a los criminales
Searching for the criminals
Les pusieron la emboscada
They were ambushed
Detrás de unos matorrales
Behind some bushes
Ahí mataron a doce
There they killed twelve
Solo uno pudo escaparse
Only one could escape
Un viejito solitario
A lonely old man
Ya se ha cobrado su deuda
Your debt has already been collected
Hoy solo espera la muerte
Today only death awaits
Porque también es pareja
Because it's also a couple
Ahora vive del recuerdo
Now live from the memory
En el estado de Texas
