One day January 28Un día 28 de enero
How that date hurts meComo me hiere esa fecha
To Don Lamberto QuinteroA don Lamberto Quintero
A truck followed himLo seguía una camioneta
They were heading to SaladoIban con rumbo al Salado
No more going aroundNo más a dar una vuelta

They passed the CarrizalPasaron el Carrizal
They were drinking beerIban tomando cerveza
A colleague told himUn compañero le dijo
A truck follows usNos sigue una camioneta
Lamberto smiling saidLamberto sonriendo dijo
What are machine guns for?¿Pa' qué son las metralletas?

Already close to SaladoYa cerquita del Salado
Two R-15s roaredRugieron dos R-15
They left a dead man thereAhí dejaron a un muerto
Lambert's enemyEnemigo de Lamberto
They would like it to be a storyQuisieran que fuera cuento
But gentlemen, it is truePero señores, es cierto

An extraordinary manUn hombre fuera de serie
happy and in loveAlegre y enamorado
Talking with his girlfriendPlaticando con su novia
He was carelessÉl estaba descuidado
When accurate weaponsCuando unas armas certeras
His life was taken from himLa vida le arrebataron

Santa Maria ClinicClínica Santa María
You are going to be my witnessTú vas a ser mi testigo
Two days after his deathDos días después de su muerte
The shots ring out againVuelven a sonar los tiros
Ten men died thereAhí murieron diez hombres
For those same reasonsPor esos mismos motivos

Bridge that goes to Tierra BlancaPuente que va a Tierra Blanca
You who saw it happenTú que lo viste pasar
Remind them that LambertoRecuérdales que a Lamberto
You can never forgetNunca se podrá olvidar
For my part I assureYo por mi parte aseguro
What is needed in CuliacánQue hace falta en Culiacán
