One day, January 28thUn día 28 de enero
How this date hurts meCómo me hiere esta fecha
To Don Lamberto QuinteroA don Lamberto Quintero
A truck was following himLo seguía una camioneta
They were heading to El SaladoIban con rumbo al Salado
Just to take a strollNomás a dar una vuelta

They passed El CarrizalPasaron El Carrizal
Drinking beerIban tomando cerveza
His companion saidSu compañero le dijo
A truck is following usNos sigue una camioneta
Lamberto, smiling, saidLamberto sonriendo dijo
What are the machine guns for?¿Pa' qué son las metralletas?

Close to El SaladoYa cerquita del Salado
Two R15s roaredRugieron dos R15
There they left a dead manAhí dejaron un muerto
An enemy of LambertoEnemigo de Lamberto
I wish it were a taleQuisiera que fuera cuento
But, gentlemen, it's truePero, señores, es cierto

An outstanding manUn hombre fuera de serie
Joyful and in loveAlegre y enamorado
Talking with his girlfriendPlaticando con su novia
He was carelessÉl estaba descuidado
When some accurate bulletsCuando unas balas certeras
Took his life awayLa vida le arrebataron

Santa Maria ClinicClínica Santa María
You will be my witnessTú vas a ser mi testigo
Two days after his deathDos días después de su muerte
Gunshots are heard againVuelven a sonar los tiros
Ten men were left thereAhí quedaron diez hombres
For the same reasonsPor esos mismos motivos

Bridge to Tierra BlancaPuente que va a Tierra Blanca
You who saw him pass byTú que lo viste pasar
Remind them that LambertoRecuérdales que a Lamberto
Will never be forgottenNunca se podrá olvidar
As for me, I assure youQue por mi parte aseguro
That Culiacán misses himQue hace falta en Culiacán
