Lyrics of Carrera a Muerte - Joan Sebastian

Carrera a Muerte (original)

En la raya dos caballos
En la meta dos pistolas
En el pueblo no había feria
En él llano no había bolas
Era una carrera a muerte
Era una carrera a solas
Juan Pedro dice a Jacinto
Vamos a echarnos un trago
Porque si te falla el Pinto
En esta noche te acabo
Y yo sé bien que ni el viento
Le gana a mi Colorado
Entonces dijo Jacinto
Mientras Juan Pedro bebia
Que Dios te lleve a su reino
Que perdone tu osadia
Voy a ganar la carrera
Y esa mujer va a ser mia
Y estando la luna llena
Brindaron por la Maria
Era la hembra bonita
Que los dos hombres querian
Estando la luna llena
Los dos a un tiempo contaron
Y donde hicieron el brindis
La polvadera dejaron
Pasadito el medio llano
Los caballos se atracaban
Como si ya presintieran
Que a la muerte se acercaban
Y al llegar a la meta
Esa carrera empataban
Y estando la luna llena
Descontaron sus pistolas
En el pueblo no habia feria
En el llano no habia bolas
Estando la luna llena
Cinco balazos sonaros
Tres acabaron con Pedro
Dos a Jacinto mataron
Dos amigos
Dos caballos
Dos pistolas
Y un amor
Los amigos ya murieron
Las pistolas se perdieron
Los caballos sepa Dios
Dos amigos
Dos caballos
Dos pistolas
Y un amor
Los amigos ya murieron
Las pistolas se perdieron
La María se encuentra en flor

(translation)

In line two horses
In the goal two pistols
In the town there was no fair
On it flat there were no balls
It was a race to the death
It was a solo race
Juan Pedro tells Jacinto
let's have a drink
Because if the Pinto fails you
On this night I finish you
And I know well that not even the wind
beats my Colorado
Then Hyacinth said
While Juan Pedro was drinking
May God take you to his kingdom
forgive your audacity
I'm going to win the race
And that woman is going to be mine
And when the moon is full
They toasted to Maria
She was the pretty female
that the two men wanted
being the full moon
The two at the same time counted
And where they made the toast
The dustpan left
Past the middle level
the horses docked
As if they already sensed
That death was approaching
And when you reach the goal
That race tied
And when the moon is full
They discounted their pistols
In the town there was no fair
In the plain there were no balls
being the full moon
five sound shots
Three finished with Pedro
Two killed Jacinto
Two friends
Two horses
Two guns
and a love
friends already died
the guns were lost
The horses know God
Two friends
Two horses
Two guns
and a love
friends already died
the guns were lost
Mary is in bloom
