Ballad to Lamberto Quintero

Corrido a Lamberto Quintero

On a January 28thUn día 28 de enero
How that date hurts meComo me hiere esa fecha
Don Lamberto QuinteroA don lamberto quintero
Was being followed by a truckLo seguía una camioneta
Lamberto smiling said:Lamberto sonriendo dice:
Why the machine gunsPa´ que son las metralletas

They passed by the carrizalPasaron el carrizal
Drinking beerIban tomando cerveza
A friend tells himUn compañero le dice
There's a truck behindAtrás viene una camioneta
Lamberto smiling said:Lamberto sonriendo dijo:
Why the machine gunsPa´ que son las metralletas

Very close to the saladoMuy cerquita del salado
Two r15s roaredRugieron dos r15
There they left two deadAllí dejaron dos muertos
Enemies of LambertoEnemigo de lamberto
They wish it was a taleQuisieran que fuera cuento
But gentlemen, it's truePero señores es cierto

An extraordinary manUn hombre fuera de serie
Happy and in loveAlegre y enamorado
Talking to his girlfriendPlaticando con su novia
He was carelessEl estaba descuidado
When some accurate bulletsCuando unas balas certeras
Took his life awayLa vida le rebataron

Santa Maria ClinicClínica santa maría
You will be my witnessTu vas a ser mi testigo
Three days after his deathTres días después de su muerte
The shots ring out againVuelven a sonar los tiros
Three men fell thereAllí cayeron tres hombres
For the same reasonsPor esos mismos motivos

Bridge to Tierra BlancaPuente que va a tierra blanca
You who saw him pass byTu que lo viste pasar
Remind them that LambertoRecuérdales que a lamberto
Will never be forgottenNunca se podrá olvidar
I, for my part, assureYo por mi parte aseguro
That Culiacán misses him.Que hace falta en culiacán.
