Translation

La desición fue tomada

The decision was made

Y don Arturo era de palabra

And Don Arturo was a man of his word

Iba a pelearles, estaba claro

He was going to fight them, it was clear

Al puro estilo Badiraguato

In the pure Badiraguato style

Que se entregara, nunca hizo caso

He never paid attention to surrendering


No me alcanzaron los santos

The saints didn't reach me

Para topar a un mundo de guachos

To face a world of cowards

En Cuernavaca temblo la tierra

In Cuernavaca, the earth trembled

Por el que iban no era cualquiera

The one they were after was not just anyone

Casi por nadien un beltrán leyva

Almost by no one a Beltrán Leyva


Don Arturo fue el primero

Don Arturo was the first

Y se le puso el pecho a las balas

And he faced the bullets

Fueron cayendo, uno por uno

They were falling, one by one

Se escucha un grito, que viva el barbas

You hear a shout, long live the beards

Era chalito por la ventana

It was Chalito through the window


¡Y puro Calibre 50 pariente! ¡Aah!

And pure Calibre 50, relative! Aah!


Tampoco se fueron lizos

They didn't escape either

Nos los llevamos entre las patas

We took them by surprise

Y se fue uno, otros que siete

And one left, others like seven

De todos modos, nunca la pierde

Anyway, he never loses

No dicen todo, no les conviene

They don't say everything, it's not convenient for them


Así es la vida del hombre

That's the life of a man

Cuando te envuelve la vida recia

When tough life surrounds you

Ganas y pierdes, lo más seguro

You win and lose, most likely

Todo es incierto, y más el futuro

Everything is uncertain, especially the future

Eran palabras de don Arturo

Those were the words of Don Arturo
