Lyrics
Que ironia, si lo sabes
Que habian dos hermanos Chavez
Pugilistas que nacieron en mero
Chavez Ravine
Carlos y Fabela Chavez, de La Loma
Y Palo Verde, decian, «Si peleas limpio
What an irony, if you know
About two brothers named Chavez
Boxers who were born right there in
Chavez Ravine
Carlos and Fabela Chavez, from La Loma
And Palo Verde, said, «If you fight clean
Chavez Ravine 3
More…
Siempre ganas, nunca pierdes."
En el Auditorio Olimpic
Quedaban bien por la gente
Nunca hiceron enemigos
Peleaban honoradamente
Mas no pudieron ganar
El pleito de Chavez Ravine
Se deshicieron encima con mentiras hasta al fin
Se batieron en el lodo hasta que perdieron todo
En la historia del boxeo, has ganado o has perdido
Pero en Chavez Ravine, todo quedo en el olvido
Nadie sabe los secretos que quedaron escondidos
Se la pagaran con Dios, esa bola de bandidos
Lyrics translation
How ironic, if you know
That there were two Chavez brothers
Boxers who were born in mere
Chavez Ravine
Carlos and Fabela Chavez, from La Loma
And stick Green, they say, " if you fight clean
What an irony, if you know
About two brothers named Chavez
Boxers who were born right there in
Chavez Ravine
Carlos and Fabela Chavez, from La Loma
And Palo Verde, said, " If you fight clean
Chavez Ravine 3
Dwell…
You always win, you never lose."
In the Olympic Auditorium
They looked good for people
They never made enemies.
They fought honorably
But they couldn't win
The lawsuit of Chavez Ravine
They fell on it with lies until the end
They beat themselves in the mud until they lost everything
In the history of boxing, have you won or lost
But in Chavez Ravine, everything is forgotten
No one knows the secrets that were hidden
They'll pay for it with God, that Bandit ball.
