Ballad to Lamberto Quintero

Valentín Elizalde

Corrido A Lamberto Quintero

Un día veintiocho de enero
Como me hiere esa fecha
A don Lamberto Quintero
Lo seguía una camioneta
Iban con rumbo al Salado
Nomas a dar una vuelta

Pasaron el Carrizal
Iban tomando cerveza
Su compañero le dijo
Nos sigue una camioneta
Lamberto sonriendo dijo
Pa' que son las metralletas

Ya cerquita del Salado
Rugieron dos R-15
Allí dejaron a un muerto
Enemigo de Lamberto
Quisiera que fuera cuento
Pero señores es cierto

(Música)

Un hombre fuera de serie
Alegre y enamorado
Platicando con su novia
El estaba descuidado
Cuando unas balas certeras
La vida le arrebataron

Clínica Santa María
Tu vas a ser mi testigo
Dos días después de su muerte
Vuelven a sonar más tiros
Ahí quedaron diez hombres
Por esos mismos motivos

Puente que va a tierra blanca
Tu que lo viste pasar
Recuérdales que a Lamberto
Nunca se podrá olvidar
Yo por mi parte aseguro
Que hace falta en Culiacán

Ballad to Lamberto Quintero

One day twenty-eighth of January
How that date hurts me
To Mr. Lamberto Quintero
He was followed by a truck
They were heading to El Salado
Just to take a stroll

They passed by El Carrizal
Drinking beer
His companion said
A truck is following us
Lamberto smiling said
What are the machine guns for

Close to El Salado
Two R-15s roared
There they left a dead man
An enemy of Lamberto
I wish it were a tale
But gentlemen, it's true

(Music)

An extraordinary man
Joyful and in love
Talking to his girlfriend
He was distracted
When some accurate bullets
Took his life away

Santa Maria Clinic
You will be my witness
Two days after his death
Gunshots are heard again
Ten men were left there
For the same reasons

Bridge to Tierra Blanca
You who saw him pass by
Remind them that Lamberto
Will never be forgotten
I assure you
That Culiacán misses him
