El Hijo Desobediente Antonio Aguilar (English Translation) Lyrics

On a Sunday, wandering around
Two young men met
Handling their weapons
As if wanting to fight

When they were fighting
One of their fathers arrived
Son of my heart
Do not fight with anyone anymore

Step aside, my father
I am angrier than a lion
Do not make me draw my sword
I will pierce his heart

Son of my heart
For what you have just said
Before the sun rises
Your life will be taken

What I ask of my father
Do not bury me in holy ground
Bury me in rough land
Where the cattle trample me

With a hand sticking out
And a golden paper
With a sign that says
Felipe was unfortunate

The chestnut horse
That was born a year ago
I leave it to my father
For the care he gave me

Of the three horses I own
I leave them to the poor
So that at least they may say
Felipe, may God forgive you

They lowered the dark bull
That had never been lowered before
But now it has been
Mixed with the cattle

With this, I bid you farewell
With the eastern star
This can happen
To the disobedient son
