El camaro
Nomás al pisarle el gas
Ruge el motor arreglado
Impecable su pintura
De todo bien equipado
Nomás hablar le faltaba
Coro
Aquel hermoso Camaro
A junior se lo compre
Que anduviera bien montado
Cuando se paseaba en el
Era la envidia del barrio
Nunca pensé que yo a mi hijo
Coro
La muerte le había comprado
Solo tenía quince años
Se le notaba en la cara
Cuando lo veía en su Camaro
Yo le miraba las alas
Mi pollo no tenía plumas
Coro
Y yo quería que volará
Un domingo en la mañana
Todo parecía alegría
De pronto me comunican
Lo que jamás pensaría
En un accidente víal
Coro
Junior estaba sin vida
Tal vez yo tuve la culpa
Por darle todo en la vida
No quería que le faltara
Lo que a mi edad no tenía
Si Dios nos mando sin alas
Coro
Yo pa' que se los ponía
Las cosas tienen su tiempo
Y yo lo lleve temprano
Por querer tanto a los hijos
Algunos padres fallamos
En lugar de darles todo
Coro
Porque no los preparamos
Solo tenía quince años
Se le notaba en la cara
Cuando lo veía en su Camaro
Yo le miraba las alas
Mi pollo no tenía plumas
Coro
Y yo quería que volará
The Camaro
Just stepping on the gas
The engine roars, all tuned up
Its paint job's flawless
Fully loaded, no doubt
It just needed to talk
Chorus
That beautiful Camaro
I bought it for Junior
So he could ride in style
When he cruised around in it
He was the envy of the block
Never thought that I’d have to
Chorus
Buy death for my own son
He was only fifteen
You could see it on his face
When I saw him in his Camaro
I could see his wings
My kid had no feathers
Chorus
And I wanted him to fly
One Sunday morning
Everything felt so bright
Then suddenly I got the call
Something I’d never expect
In a car accident
Chorus
Junior was gone
Maybe it was my fault
For giving him everything
I didn’t want him to lack
What I didn’t have at his age
If God sent us without wings
Chorus
Why did I try to give him some?
Things have their own time
And I took him too soon
By loving our kids too much
Some parents mess up
Instead of giving them everything
Chorus
Why didn’t we prepare them?
He was only fifteen
You could see it on his face
When I saw him in his Camaro
I could see his wings
My kid had no feathers
Chorus
And I wanted him to fly
