Mataron a Mi Hermano

They Killed My Brother

Mataron a Mi Hermano

Sometimes I feel sad when the memory comes to meAveces me siento triste cuando me llega el recuerdo
That they killed my brother as if he were a dogQue mataron a mi hermano tal como si fuera un perro
Only that way they couldSolamente así pudieron
Damn treacherous guysPinches batos traicioneros

He was only 20 years old starting to see lifeApenas tenia 20 años empezaba a ver la vida
He had plenty of guts, he liked the sceneLe sobraban las agallas le gustaba la movida
Little by little he grew up, he had a suicidal mindPoco a poco fue creciendo tenia mente de suicida

I like moneyMe gusta el dinero
I like womenMe gustan las viejas
And the lively trucks, he used to sayY las trocas perras alegres decía
He pulled the bands during Holy WeekJalaba las bandas en semana santa
In Mazatlán, how he enjoyed himselfAllá en mazatlán como se divertía

How much I miss himA como lo extraño
I suffer day by daySufro día con día
For what they did to himPor lo que le hicieron
They will pay dearly, they owe me his lifePagaran con creces me deben su vida

He had a ranch up on the hill where he raised his calvesTenia un rancho allá en la loma donde creaba sus becerros
The peasants used to say, 'You are a good boy'Le decían los campesinos tu eres un muchacho bueno
I hope God takes care of you, you are going like foam to heavenOjala que dios te cuide vas como espuma pal cielo

The weasels have already gotten inYa se metieron tlacuaches
And not one will come out aliveY no saldrá ni uno vivo
Look, they are going to hell, I know very well what I'm sayingMiren que van pal infierno se muy bien lo que les digo
For the harm they did, they won't even want to have been bornPor ese daño que hicieron no querrán ni haber nacido

I like moneyMe gusta el dinero
I like womenMe gustan las viejas
And the lively trucks, he used to sayY las trocas perras alegres decía
He pulled the bands during Holy WeekJalaba las bandas en semana santa
In Mazatlán, how he enjoyed himselfAllá en mazatlán como se divertía

How much I miss himA como lo extraño
I suffer day by daySufro día con día
For what they did to himPor lo que le hicieron
They will pay dearly, they owe me his lifePagaran con creces me deben su vida
They owe me his lifeMe deben su vida
