Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Doble Fondo Carga Pesada (En Vivo) by Los Huracanes Del Norte from Spanish to English.
Misa de cuerpo presente están rezando en la iglesia
They are praying at the church for the body present
Al que murió por la espalda siempre mato en defensa
To the one who died from behind, always killed in self-defense
No quiso oír a su madre cuando le dijo no vayas
He didn't want to listen to his mother when she said, "Don't go"
Te han respetado la frente pero te buscan la espalda
They respected your forehead, but they're after your back
Ya estaba el cuatro tendido en el camino a aquel baile
The guitar was already laid on the road to that dance
Cayo en la peor emboscada como le dijo su madre
He fell into the worst ambush, just as his mother told him
Cuando llevaron el cuerpo su madre dijo en el momento
When they took the body, his mother said at that moment
Déjenme sola con mi hijo luego cerro por dentro
"Leave me alone with my son," then she closed the door
Dicen los que se asomaron que la mujer muy valiente
They say those who looked in saw a very brave woman
Le dio de azotes al cuerpo disque por desobediente
She whipped the body, supposedly for being disobedient
También dicen que los ojos de aquel cuerpo sin sentido
They also say that the eyes of that lifeless body
Lloraban lagrimas gruesas como si estuviera vivo
Cried thick tears as if it were alive
Dicen que con su pistola los ambiguo muchas veces
They say that with his gun, he ambushed many times
Luego la lleno de sangre juro vengar su muerte
Then he filled it with blood, swore to avenge his death
Con razón era valiente en eso heredo a su madre
No wonder he was brave, he inherited it from his mother
Ella no derramo llanto solo se puso a rezarle!
She didn't shed tears, she just started praying for him!
