Por Aire y Por Tierra

By Air and By Land

Por Aire y Por Tierra

What I sing is not just any storyLo que canto no es cualquier historia
Very close to the mountains, my memory doesn't fail meMuy cerquitas de la sierra no me falla la memoria
The guys were confident they had him surroundedLos plebes iban confiados que ya lo tenían rodeado
That there was no way outQue no tenían escapatoria

They thought it was going to be a piece of cakePensaron que iba a estar bien pelada
The marines were approaching the man like idiotsLos marinos en boludos al señor se aproximaban

There was a lot of intelligenceFue mucha la inteligencia
To reach the manPara llegar hasta el hombre
The mission was clearLa consigna estaba clara

He spent time with his familyCon la familia el pasaba el rato
He was very comfortableMuy agusto se encontraba
That man with the fancy shoesAquel señor de los zapatos

Close to Holy WeekCerca de semana santa
Were the datesFueron las fechas
When these stories happenedEn las que ocurrieron estos relatos

By air and by land they came for themPor aire y por tierra les llegaron
And they weren't going to back downY no se iban a dejar
His people ready to fightSu gente lista para pelear

Time was flying byEL tiempo se pasaba volando
And they set the plan in motionY echaron el plan a andar
The man had to escapeEl señor se tenía que escapar

He sent a vanguardMando una avanzada
To distract themPara que los soltaran
And they started shootingY empezaron a tirar

A man bravely stood in front of themUn hombre asoto les hace al frente
To gain a few minutesPa' ganar unos minutos
So the boss could escapePara que escapara el jefe

But the rain of bulletsPero la lluvia de balas
The guys were dodging themLos plebes se la rifaban
But death was closePero cerquitas la muerte

They were saved by the guestsSe salvaron por los invitados
If the old man had been aloneSi el viejo estuviera solo
Things would have turned out differentlyOtra cosa hubiera pasado

He never showed fearEl nunca reflejo miedo
If they think he left because of thatSi creen que se fue por eso
They are very mistakenEstán bien equivocados

He looks very calmMuy a gusto se mira tranquilo
After the stormDespués de la tempestad

Once again he slipped away from themOtra vez se les volvió a pelar
He'll be waiting for them if one of these daysAllá los espera si un día de estos
They want to come backQuieren volver a llegar

Just like it happened out at seaIgual como pasó allá en el mar
If what they were planning was an ambushSi lo que planeaban era una emboscada
It's going to be tough for themPara eso les va a sudar
