El ayudante de Lino

Lino's Helper

El ayudante de Lino

Path of lifeCaminito de la vida
that you go down curving hillsque bajas curviando cuestas
I have been taken from your landme han bajado de tu tierra
at gunpointa punta de metralleta
where I was plantingen donde estaba sembrando
the most toasted harvestla cosecha que mas tuesta

governments fly they canlos gobiernos vuelan pueden
we, well, we walknosotros pues caminamos
but if they come down a littlepero si bajan tantito
we wait for them on the grounden el suelo lo esperamos
when we are evenya cuando estemos parejos
here we take our chancesaqui si nos la rifamos

the man wasn't badno es que fuera malo el hombre
nor his helper eitherni tampoco su ayudante
hunger is a bad advisormal consejera es el hambre
we must keep that in mindhay que tenerlo presente
they forget good customsse olvidan buenas costumbres
with arrogant governmentscon gobiernos prepotentes

I was looking for a better rankyo buscando un mejor rango
just like in the partiesasi como en los partidos
there you win by shoutingalla se gana gritando
here you win with shotsaqui se gana con tiros
that's why looking for moneypor eso buscando plata
I came to plant with Linome vine a sembrar con Lino

the sea is a gulp of waterel mar es un buche de agua
if you're risking your skinsi te andas rifando el cuero
that's why I go down to the valleyspor eso bajo alos valles
to stroll with moneya pasearme con dinero
with music and womencon musica y con mujeres
to forget this hellpara olvidar este infierno

I leave you this balladhay les dejo este corrido
friends over there in Caborcaamigos alla en Caborca
because friend, I ask Godpor que amigo a dios le pido
God squeezes but doesn't hangdios aprieta mas no ahorca
and water those cornfields welly rieguen bien esas milpas
so the corn growspa que crezca la mazorca
