Cuco Peña [English translation]

This is the running of the great Cuco Peña

man well energic in all his land

at breakfast a tequila was poured

by noon he opened another bottle

Already for the night, gun in hand

emptying canteens, spinning in heels

then in a corner he was looking for women

hat on the side, shirt on the outside

He grabbed the woman, threw her in the haunch

nailed the spur and the horse starts

and it happened that night that being drunk

after loving her, he stay in her arms

Ay Cuco Peña, ay soul in pain

ay Cuco Peña, it was not a good move

ay Cuco Peña, ay soul in pain

ay Cuco Peña, it was not a good move

Then the next day, terror on the face

what was he doing next to him, he wondered himself

it was the young Huicho, in strange ways

dressed like woman, smiling him now

You have broken my honor, Cuco Peña shouted

and exorbitant pulled the gun

shooting poor Huicho

the great Cuco Peña washed his dishonor

Behind the bars the big Cuco Peña

sad and lonely meets his sentence

but from his cell he already made housing

his girls arrive, food and drink

Ay Cuco Peña, ay soul in pain

ay Cuco Peña, it was not a good move

ay Cuco Peña, ay soul in pain

ay Cuco Peña, it was not a good move

And this was the running of the great Cuco Peña

genius and figure to the grave

trotting around the world his shadow wandered

looking for his manhood that someone was took away

Ay Cuco Peña, ay soul in pain

ay Cuco Peña, it was not a good move

ay Cuco Peña, ay soul in pain

ay Cuco Peña, it was not a good move
