Le Compré La Muerte A Mi Hijo

I Bought Death for My Son

Le Compré La Muerte A Mi Hijo

Just by stepping on the gasNomás al pisarle el gas
the engine roared, fixed,rugía el motor arreglado,
impeccable its paint,impecable su pintura,
fully equipped with everythingde todo bien equipado
It just lacked talking,Nomás hablar le faltaba,
Chorus:Coro:
that beautiful Camaro.aquel hermoso camaro.

I bought it for my son,A junior se lo compre,
so he could ride wellque anduviera bien montado
when he drove it,cuando se paseaba en el,
he was the envy of the neighborhoodera la envidia del barrio
I never thought that I,nunca pensé que yo a mi hijo,
Chorus:Coro:
had bought death for my sonla muerte le había comprado

he was only fifteen years old,solo tenía quince años,
it showed on his face,se le notaba en la cara,
when I saw him in his Camarocuando lo veía en su camaro
I looked at his wingsyo le miraba las alas
my chick didn't have feathersmi pollo no tenía plumas
Chorus:Coro:
and I wanted him to fly.y yo quería que volara.

one Sunday morningun domingo en la mañana
everything seemed joyfultodo parecía alegría
suddenly I was informed,de pronto me comunican,
of what I would never think of,lo que jamás pensaría,
in a traffic accident,en un accidente víal,
Chorus:Coro:
Junior was lifeless.junior estaba sin vida.

Maybe I was to blame,Talvez yo tuve la culpa,
for giving him everything in life,por darle todo en la vida,
I didn't want him to lack,no quería que le faltara,
what I didn't have at his age,lo que a mi edad no tenía,
if God sent us without wings,si dios nos mando sin alas,
Chorus:Coro:
why would I put them on him.yo pa' que se los ponía.

Things have their time,Las cosas tienen su tiempo,
and I took him early,y yo lo lleve temprano,
for loving children so much,por querer tanto a los hijos,
some parents fail,algunos padres fallamos,
instead of giving them everything,en lugar de darles todo,
Chorus:Coro:
why don't we prepare them.porque no los preparamos.

He was only fifteen years old,Solo tenía quince años,
it showed on his face,se le notaba en la cara,
when I saw him in his Camaro,cuando lo veía en su camaro,
I looked at his wings,yo le miraba las alas,
my chick didn't have feathers,mi pollo no tenía plumas,
Chorus:Coro:
and I wanted him to fly.y yo quería que volara.
