Lyrics
Es popular su figura
Como arrogante su estampa,
Nació en la sombra del hampa
Y allí tendrá sepultura.
Su corazón de malevo
Hecho a bravura y coraje,
Jamás temió que el ultraje
Humillara su altivez.
 
Es un bravo varón
Hecho al tiempo de ayer,
Parco y lento al hablar
Su palabra es acción.
El coraje es su ley
Es constante y tenaz,
Lo que no ha de cumplir
No promete jamás.
 
Pero hay algo que al fin
Lo domina también,
Son dos ojos de luz
Y una boca de flor;
Que lo miran ahogar
Que no puede pensar,
Porque sabe querer
Y el amor es amor.
English translation
His figure is popular
As arrogant as his image,
He was born in the shadow of the underworld
And there he will be buried.
His heart of a villain
Made of bravery and courage,
He never feared that outrage
To humiliate his haughtiness.
 
He is a brave man
Made for yesterday's time,
Slow and slow to speak
His word is action.
Courage is his law
He is constant and tenacious,
What he will not fulfill
He never promises.
 
But there is something that at last
Dominates him too,
They are two eyes of light
And a mouth of flower;
That watch him drown
That he cannot think,
Because he knows how to love
And love is love.
