Gabino Barrera - Los Tigres del Norte Übersetzung ins Englische

Gabino Barrera

Gabino Barrera no entendía razones
Andando en la borrachera
Cargaba pistola con seis cargadores
Le daba gusto a cualquiera.

Usaba el bigote en cuadro abultado
Su paño al cuello enredado
Calzones de mata, chamarra de cuero
Traía punteado el sombrero.

Sus pies campesinos usaban huaraches
Y a veces a raíz andaba
Pero le gustaba pagar los mariachis
La plata no le importaba.

Con una botella de caña en la mano
Gritaba ¡Viva Zapata!
Porque era ranchero el indio suriano
Era hijo de buena mata.

(Y arriba zapata hijos de Pacho Villa)

Era alto, bien dado, muy ancho de espadas
Su rostro mal encachado
Su negra mirada un aire le daba
Al buitre de la montaña.

Gabino Barrera dejaba mujeres
Con hijos por donde quiera
Por eso en los pueblos donde se paseaba
Se la tenían sentenciada.

Recuerdo la noche que lo asesinaron
Venía de ver a su amada
Dieciocho descargas de Máuser sonaron
Sin darle tiempo de nada.

Gabino Barrera murió como mueren
Los hombres que son bragados
Por una morena perdió como pierden
Los gallos en los tapados.

Gabino Barrera

Gabino Barrera didn't understand reasoning
Strolling in a drunken stupor
Carrying a pistol with six magazines
He delighted in anyone.

He wore a square, bushy mustache
His bandana loosely tied around his neck
Calico pants and a leather jacket
His hat had a pointed brim.

His campesino feet wore sandals
And sometimes he walked barefoot
But he liked to pay for mariachis
Money didn't matter to him.

With a bottle of booze in his hand
He shouted, "Viva Zapata!"
Because he was a rancher, the southern Indian
He was the son of a good mother.

(And above all, Zapata, sons of Pancho Villa)

He was tall, well-built, broad-shouldered
His face poorly shaven
His dark gaze gave him the air
Of a mountain vulture.

Gabino Barrera left women
With children all over the place
That's why in the towns where he roamed
They had him sentenced.

I remember the night they killed him
He was coming from seeing his love
Eighteen Mauser shots rang out
Without giving him a moment's peace.

Gabino Barrera died the way they die
Men who are brave
For a beautiful woman he lost, just as they lose
Roosters in the fight.
