Lyrics and translation Gustavo Palafox - El Carlingas




El Carlingas
El Carlingas
En un pueblito en sonora
In a small town in Sonora
La ciudad jardin lo nombran
The city of gardens
Chambeo duro desde morro
I've been working hard since I was a kid
Pues dura estaba la cosa
Life has always been tough
Dicen que vende ganado
They say he sells cattle
Yo diria que es otra cosa
I guess I would say something else
Dejo la escuela y solo
I left school and alone
Decidio tener sus cosas
Decided to get his things
Trabajando alla en el rancho
Working on the ranch
De su padre largas horas
Of his father long hours
Y no paso mucho tiempo
And it wasn't long
Paso a vida peligrosa
He moved on to a dangerous life
Desde obregon a hermosillo
From Obregon to Hermosillo
Reparte en varias zonas
He distributes in several towns
Ese polvo que te activa
That powder that activates you
Prohibido en todas las costas
Prohibited on all coasts
El ha hecho bien su trabajo
He's done his job well
Por eso clientes le sobran
That's why he has so many customers
La gente que esta a su lado
The people who are by his side
El ben rapido reacciona
He reacts quickly I know
Con su carnal angelito
With his brother Angelito
Y el jorge pasan las horas
And Jorge, the hours pass by
Si se trata dar la mano
If it's about giving a hand
No lo duda y me consta
He doesn't hesitate and I know
En carreras de caballos
In horse races
Anda de sombrero y botas
He's in hat and boots
No presume lo que tiene
He doesn't show off what he has
Siempre apuesta y se le nota
He always bets and it shows
Su san judas en el pecho
His Saint Jude on his chest
Y en el cinto su pistola
And his gun on his belt
En la expo gan o el lavado
At the Expo Gan or the lavado
O relajarse en san carlos
Or relaxing in San Carlos
No se preocupa de nada
He doesn't worry about anything
Trae charola y reservada
He has a plate and a reservation
De su comprade don pancho
From his friend Don Pancho
Seguido jalan la banda
They often play the band
Y aquel niño ganadero
And that little cattleman
Hoy los lujos no le estorban
Today he's not stopped by luxuries
Siempre lo miro activo
I always see him active
Tambien sus cheyennes rojas
That kid has his red Cheyennes
Y cuidandolo en el vidrio
And watching over him in the glass
Su san judas y su escolta
His Saint Jude and his bodyguard
Se oyen campanas de iglesia
The bells of the church are heard
De dar gracias ya es hora
It's time to give thanks
Por la vida y su familia,
For life and his family,
El trabajo y varias cosas
Work and other things
Por carlingas conocido
Known to everyone as Carlingas
Transito empalme sonora.
From Empalme Sonora.
