Big Iron

Na cidade de Agua Fria, um estranho chegou num belo diaTo the town of Agua Fria rode a stranger one fine day
Mal falou com o pessoal ao redor, não tinha muito a dizer,Hardly spoke to folks around him, didn't have too much to say,
Ninguém se atreveu a perguntar o que ele fazia, ninguém se atreveu a vacilarNo one dared to ask his business, no one dared to make a slip
Pois o estranho ali entre eles tinha um grande ferro na cintura,For the stranger there among them had a big iron on his hip,
grande ferro na cinturabig iron on his hip

Era cedo de manhã quando ele entrou na cidadeIt was early in the morning when he rode into town
Veio montando do lado sul, olhando devagar ao redorHe came riding from the south side, slowly lookin' all around
"Ele é um fora da lei solto e correndo", sussurrou"He's an outlaw loose and runnin'", came a whisper
cada bocafrom each lip
"E ele está aqui para fazer um negócio com o grande ferro na"And he's here to do some business with the big iron on his
cintura,hip,
grande ferro na cintura"big iron on his hip"

Na cidade morava um fora da lei chamado Texas RedIn the town there lived an outlaw by the name of Texas Red
Muitos homens tentaram pegá-lo e muitos homens morreramMany men had tried to take him and that many men were dead
Ele era feroz e um assassino, embora jovem de vinte e quatroHe was vicious and a killer, though a youth of twenty four
E as marcas em seu revólver somavam uma e dezenove a mais,And the notches on his pistol numbered one and nineteen more,
uma e dezenove a maisone and nineteen more

Agora o estranho começou a falar, deixou claro para o pessoal ao redorNow the stranger started talkin' made it plain to folks around
Era um ranger do Arizona, não ficaria muito tempo na cidadeWas an Arizonia ranger, wouldn't be too long in town
Ele veio para levar um fora da lei de volta vivo ou talvez mortoHe came there to take an outlaw back alive or maybe dead
E disse que não importava que ele estava atrás de Texas Red,And he said it didn't matter that he was after Texas Red,
atrás de Texas Redafter Texas Red

Não demorou muito para essa história chegar a Texas RedWasn't long before this story was relayed to Texas Red
Mas o fora da lei não se preocupou, homens que tentaram antes estavam mortosBut the outlaw didn't worry, men that tried before were dead
Vinte homens tentaram pegá-lo, vinte homens vacilaram,Twenty men had tried to take him, twenty men had made a slip,
Vinte e um seria o ranger com o grande ferro na cintura,Twenty one would be the ranger with the big iron on his hip,

A manhã passou tão rápido e era hora de se encontraremThe morning past so quickly and it was time for them to meet
Eram onze e vinte quando saíram para a ruaIt was twenty past eleven when they walked out on the street
O pessoal assistia das janelas,Folks were watchin' from their windows,
todos prenderam a respiração,every body held their breath,
Pois sabiam que aquele ranger bonito estava prestes a encontrar sua morte,For they knew that handsome ranger was about to meet his death,
prestes a encontrar sua morteabout to meet his death

Havia quarenta pés entre elesThere was forty feet between them
quando pararam para fazer seu movimentowhen they stopped to make their play
E a rapidez do Ranger ainda é comentada até hojeAnd the swiftness of the Ranger still talked about today
Texas Red não tinha puxado a arma quando uma bala rasgouTexas Red had not cleared leather when a bullet fairly ripped
E a mira do ranger era mortal, com o grande ferro na cintura,And the ranger's aim was deadly, with the big iron on his hip,
grande ferro na cinturabig iron on his hip

Foi tudo muito rápido e o pessoal se reuniu ao redorIt was over in a moment and the folks had gathered 'round
Ali diante deles estava o corpo do fora da lei no chãoThere before them lay the body of the outlaw on the ground
Oh, ele poderia ter continuado vivendo, mas cometeu um último erroOh, he might have gone on livin' but he made one final slip
Quando tentou igualar o ranger com o grande ferro na cintura,When he tried to match the ranger with the big iron on his hip,
grande ferro na cinturabig iron on his hip

Grande ferro, grande ferro,Big iron, big iron,
Ele tentou igualar o ranger com o grande ferro na cintura,He tried to match the ranger with the big iron on his hip,
Grande ferro na cinturaBig iron on his hip
