Ladrón Que Roba a Ladrón

Sergio Umbria

Thief Who Steals from a Thief

A thief who steals from a thief
Has a hundred years of forgiveness
Goes the saying, and it’s a truth for sure
You shouldn’t mess with what you don’t understand
'Cause you might get burned, and you don’t play with saints
Saints deserve respect

It’s the story of two young guys who lost it all
For wanting more than they could ever have
Antonio and Marcos, two real young men
One was innocent and the other had a hunger for cash
They thought about their situation and Antonio decided
They should be witches, cards, cigars, spaghetti, among other things
They offered to talk, the freebie, the hard-earned, the farmer
And even the priest went to consult
But they didn’t count on Odalis who would make them pay

Odalis was nothing but the real witch of the town
Who, disguised as a woman, came right over
She realized they just wanted to con
'Cause Antonio fell for her, or rather, for Odalis
He would be in for a surprise they had no clue about
He left and came back, hid and waited for them to arrive
Counting their cash, when disguised as a soul from beyond
He gave them a real scare, put them on a penance
And sent them to the cemetery, a hundred candles for each dead
They’d have to set up, freaked out they ran from the place
And Aristobulo, who was really the true witch
Was laughing at them, mocking the two
He kept saying this phrase,
a thief who steals from a thief has a hundred years of forgiveness
