Le Compre La Muerte A Mi Hijo

I Bought Death for My Son

Le Compre La Muerte A Mi Hijo

Just by stepping on the gasNomás al pisarle el gas
The engine roared, fixedRugia el motor arreglado
Impeccable paintImpecable su pintura
Fully equippedDe todo bien equipado
He just needed to talkNomás hablar le faltaba
That beautiful CamaroAquel hermoso Camaro
I bought it for my sonA junior se lo compre
So he could ride wellQue anduviera bien montado
When he drove itCuando se paseaba en el
He was the envy of the neighborhoodEra la envidia del barrio
I never thought that my sonNunca pensé que ami hijo
Had bought deathLa muerte le había comprado

He was only 15 years oldSolo tenía 15 años
It showed on his faceSe le notaba en la cara
When I saw him in his CamaroCuando lo vi en su Camaro
I looked at his wingsYo le miraba las alas
My chick didn't have feathersMi pollo no tenía plumas
And I wanted him to flyY yo quería que volara

One Sunday morningUn domingo en la mañana
Everything seemed joyfulTodo parecía alegría
Suddenly I was informed of what I never thoughtDe pronto me comunican lo que jamás pensaria
In a car accidentEn un accidente vial
My son was lifelessMi junior estaba sin vida
Maybe I was to blameTal vez yo tube la culpa
For giving him everything in lifePor darle todo en la vida
I didn't want him to lackNo quería que le faltara
What he didn't have at his ageLo que a su edad no tenía
If God sent him without wingsSi Dios lo mando sin alas
Why would I put them on him?Yo pa' que se las ponia
Things have their timeLas cosas tienen su tiempo
And I took him earlyY yo lo lleve temprano
For loving my children so muchPor querer tanto alos hijos
Some parents failAlgunos padres fallamos
Instead of giving them everythingEn lugar de darles todo
Why don't we prepare them?Por que no los preparamos

He was only 15 years oldSolo tenía 15 años
It showed on his faceSe le notaba en la cara
When I saw him in his CamaroCuando lo vi en su Camaro
I looked at his wingsYo le miraba las alas
My chick didn't have feathersMi pollo no tenía plumas
And I wanted him to flyY yo quería que volara
