La Banda Del Carro Rojo
Dicen que venían del sur
En un carro colorado
Traían cien kilos de coca
Iban con rumbo a Chicago
Así lo dijo el soplón
Que los había denunciado
Ya habían pasado la aduana
La que está en El Paso, Texas
Pero en mero San Antonio
Los estaban esperando
Eran Los Rinches de Texas
Que comandan el condado
Una sirena lloraba
Un emigrante gritaba
Que detuvieran el carro
Para que lo registraran
Y que no se resistieran
Porque, si no, los mataban
Surgió un M-16
Cuando iba rugiendo el aire
El faro de una patrulla
Se vio volar por el aire
Así empezó aquel combate
Donde fue aquella masacre
Decía Lino Quintana
Esto tenía que pasar
Mis compañeros han muerto
Ya no podrán declarar
Y yo lo siento, sheriff
Porque yo no sé cantar
De los siete que murieron
Solo las cruces quedaron
Cuatro eran del carro rojo
Los otros tres del gobierno
Por ellos no se preocupen
Irán con Lino al infierno
Dicen que eran del Cantil
Otros que eran del Altar
Hasta por ahí dicen muchos
Que procedían del Parral
La verdad nunca se supo
Nadie los fue a reclamar
The Red Car Gang
They say they came from the south
In a red car
Carrying 100 kilos of coke
Heading to Chicago
That's what the snitch said
Who had turned them in
They had already passed customs
The one at the Texas crossing
But right in the middle of San Antonio
They were waiting for them
It was the Texas Rangers
Who run the county
A siren was wailing
An immigrant was shouting
To stop the car
So they could search it
And not to resist
Because if they did, they'd get killed
An M16 emerged
As the air roared
The light from a patrol car
Was seen flying through the air
That's how that fight started
Where that massacre took place
Lino Quintana said
This had to happen
My buddies are dead
They won't be able to testify
And I feel for you, sheriff
Because I can't sing
Of the 7 who died
Only the crosses remained
4 were from the red car
The other 3 were from the government
Don't worry about them
They'll go with Lino to hell
They say they were from the candle
Others say they were from the altar
Some even say
They came from Parral
The truth was never known
No one went to claim them
