La explosión de la pólvora con fuerza empuja,The explosion of gunpowder pushes forcefully,
Movimiento de rotación y traslación,Movement of rotation and translocation,
Sale la bala arrojada fuera del cañón.Out comes the bullet shot out of the canon.
  
Con un objetivo directo,With a clear objective,
La bala pasea segura y firme durante su trayectoThe bullet crosses its trajectory with certainty and firmness,
Hiriendo de muerte al viento, más rápida que el tiempo,Mortally wounding the wind, faster than time,
Defendiendo cualquier argumento.Defending whatever argument.

Sin levantar sospecha, asegura su matanza,Without warning, it ensures its kill,
Por eso tiene llena de plomo su panza.That’s why it has its belly filled with lead.
Para llegar a su presa no necesita ojosTo reach its prey, it does not need eyes,
Y más cuando el camino se lo traza un infrarojo.Especially when its path is traced by infrared.
  
La bala nunca se da por vencida.The bullet never gives up.
Si no mata hoy, por lo menos deja una herida.If it does not kill today, at least it leaves behind a wound.

Se escucha un disparo, agarra confianza,A shot is heard, it gains confidence,
El sonido la persigue, pero no la alcanza.Sound pursues it, but does not reach it.
La bala sacas sus colmillos de aceroThe bullet pulls out its steel fangs
Y sin pedir permiso, entra por el cuero.And without asking permission, enters through the hide.
  
Muerde los tejidos con rabia y arrancaIt bites the tissue with rage and it yanks
El pecho a las arterias para causar hemorragia.The chest toward the arteries to cause hemorrhage.
Vuela la sangre batida de fresa,The blood flies, strawberry milkshake,
