Manuel Santillán, el León(original) |
| El leon esta escondido en el callejon |
| Sabe bien lo que le va a pasar |
| Entonces saca su revolver y va a disparar |
| La policia lo rodea sin tregua |
| Lo buscan por ajuste de cuentas |
| Y ese sargento que sin vacilar |
| Abre fuego y le da |
| Lo curioso es que antes de morir |
| El leon Santillan pronuncio palabras |
| Ante los oficiales que desconcertados miraban |
| Y les dijo: |
| Queridos enemigos de siempre, |
| Dejo este mundo de dolor |
| Nunca se olviden |
| Que ya toda la gente va hacia el mar |
| Coro: Van al mar, van al mar |
| Llanto, dolor, sufrimiento |
| De un pueblo se ahoga en el mar |
| Lo dijo el leon, Manuel Santillan |
| Lo dijo el leon, viejo peleador de San Telmo |
| Lo dijo el leon, Manuel Santillan el leon |
| Lo dijo el leon… |
| Los oficiales que vieron morir a Santillan |
| Abandonaron la institucion |
| Nunca mas se supo de ellos, |
| Del caso no se hablo mas |
| Sin embargo por el viejo San Telmo |
| En un sucio bodegon |
| Dicen que un borracho |
| Murmuro llorando las palabras que eran del leon |
| Y cuales eran, Manuel |
| Coro… |
| (translation) |
| The lion is hidden in the alley |
| He knows well what is going to happen to him |
| So he takes out his revolver and goes to shoot |
| The police surround him relentlessly |
| They are looking for him for reckoning |
| And that sergeant who without hesitation |
| He opens fire and hits her |
| The curious thing is that before he died |
| The lion Santillan pronounced words |
| Before the disconcerted officers who looked |
| And he told them: |
| Dear old enemies, |
| I leave this world of pain |
| never forget |
| That now all the people go to the sea |
| Chorus: They go to the sea, they go to the sea |
| crying, pain, suffering |
| Of a town drowning in the sea |
| The lion said it, Manuel Santillan |
| The lion said it, an old fighter from San Telmo |
| The lion said it, Manuel Santillan the lion |
| The lion said it... |
| The officers who saw Santillan die |
| They left the institution |
| They were never heard from again, |
| I don't talk about the case anymore |
| However by the old San Telmo |
| In a dirty still life |
| They say that a drunk |
| I murmur crying the words that were from the lion |
| And what were they, Manuel |
| Chorus… |
