Catarino and the rural police

se agarraron a balazos

Engaged in gunfire

Catarino was telling them

"que bonitos arenales

"What beautiful sandy areas

para agarrarme a balazos

To engage in gunfire

con los mentados rurales"

Catarino les gritaba

Catarino was shouting at them

arriscandoce el sombrero

Tipping his hat

son puras balas de acero

It's all bullets of steel"

con toda su voz completa

With all his voice, loud and clear

detras de un cerco de alambre

Behind a wire fence

desgraciados muertos de hambre"

You wretched, starving dead"

Ya con esta me despido

Now with this, I bid farewell

deshojando unos rosales

aqui se acaban cantando

Here ends the song
