Román Iriarte
Yo lo vi viajaba solo
Cabalgaba con la muerte
Iba a vengar su familia
En verda' un hombre sin suerte
Yo sé bien que hay gente mala
Mis ojos lo presenciaron
Por no poder apresarlo
Su familia le mataron
Un chamaco de diez años
Quiso salir a avisarle
Lo acribillaron a tiros
Como si fuera un maleante
Cuando llegó a Cartagena
Fue a mirar al comandante
Mi nombre es Román Iriarte
Supe que ayer fue a buscarme
Pase usted señor Iriarte
¿En qué podemos servirle?
Usted ya no sirve a nadie
Porque ahorita va a morirse
Le dio dieciocho balazos
Así le arrancó la vida
Luego mató tres agentes
Al entrar en Barranquilla
Ya Román también murió
Su pistola enmudeció
Pero murió muy sonriente
Y a su familia vengó
Roman Iriarte
I saw him traveling alone
Riding with death
He was out for revenge for his family
Really, a man out of luck
I know there are bad people
My eyes witnessed it all
Because they couldn't catch him
His family was killed
A ten-year-old kid
Tried to warn him
They shot him down
Like he was some thug
When he got to Cartagena
He went to see the commander
My name is Roman Iriarte
I heard you came looking for me yesterday
Please, Mr. Iriarte
How can we help you?
You don't serve anyone anymore
Because you're about to die
They shot him eighteen times
That's how they took his life
Then he killed three officers
As he entered Barranquilla
Now Roman is dead too
His gun fell silent
But he died with a smile
And avenged his family
