El Camaro

The Camaro

El Camaro

No more stepping on the gasNo mas al pisarle el gas
the engine roared, fixedrugia el motor areglado
impeccable its paintimpecable su pintura
fully equippedde todo bien equipado
it just needed to speakno mas hablar le faltaba
that beautiful Camaroaquel hermoso camaro

I bought it for Juniora junior se lo compre
so he could ride wellpara que anduviera bien montado
when he cruised in itcuando se paseaba en el
he was the envy of the neighborhoodera la envidia del barrio
I never thought that my sonnunca pense que a mi hijo
had been bought by deathla muerte le havia comprado

He was only fifteensolo tenia quince años
it showed on his facese le notaba en la cara
when I saw him in his Camarocuando lo veia en su camaro
I looked at his wingsyo le miraba las alas
not even a chicken had feathersni pollo no tenia plumas
and I wanted him to flyy yo queria que volara

One Sunday morningun domingo en la mañana
everything seemed joyfultodo parecia alegria
suddenly I was informedde pronto me comunican
of what I never thoughtlo que jamas pensaria
in a car accidenten un accidente vial
Junior was lifelessjunior estava sin vida

Maybe I was to blametal vez yo tuve la culpa
for giving him everything in lifepor darle todo en la vida
I didn't want him to lackno queria que le faltara
what he didn't have at his agelo que a su edad no tenia
if GOD sent us without wingssi DIOS nos mando sin alas
why did I put them on himyo para que se las ponia

Things have their timelas cosas tienen su tiempo
and I took him earlyy yo lo lleve temprano
for loving my children so muchpor querer tanto alos hijos
some parents failalgunos padres fallamos
instead of giving them everythingen lugar de darles todo
why don't we prepare thempor que no los preparamos

He was only fifteensolo tenia quince años
it showed on his facese le notaba en la cara
when I saw him in his Camarocuando lo veia en su camaro
I looked at his wingsyo le miraba las alas
not even a chicken had feathersni pollo no tenia plumas
and I wanted him to flyy yo queria que volara
