Lyrics and translation Los Cadetes De Linares - Lamberto Quintero

Lamberto Quintero

Un día 28 de enero
Como me hiere esa fecha
A don Lamberto Quintero
Lo segue una camioneta
Iba con rumbo al Salado
No más a dar una vuelta

Pasaron El Carrizal
Iban tomando cerveza
Su compa{ero le dijo
"Nos sigue una camioneta"
Lamberto sonriendo dijo
"Pa' qué son las metralletas?"

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

Un hombre fuera de serie
Alegre y enamorado
Platicando con su novia
Él estaba descuidado
Cuando unas armas serteras
La vida le rebataron

Clínica Santa María
Tú vas a ser mi testigo
Dos días después de su muerte
Vuelven a sonar los tiros
Allí murieron diez hombres
Por esos mismos motivos

Puente que va a Tierra Blanca
Tú que lo viste pasar
Recuérdales que a Lamberto
Nunca se podrá olvidar
Yo por mi parte aseguro
Que hace falta en Culiacán

Lamberto Quintero

One day on the 28th of January
How that date hurts me
Don Lamberto Quintero
Was stalked by a pickup truck
He was headed to El Salado
Just to take a little drive

They passed El Carrizal
Drinking beer
His companion said
"There's a pickup truck following us"
Lamberto smiled and replied
"What are machine guns for?"

Nearing El Salado
Two R-15s roared
They left a dead man there
An enemy of Lamberto's
I wish it were fiction
But it's true, my darling

A man beyond compare
Cheerful and in love
Chatting with his girlfriend
He was caught off guard
When deadly weapons
Took his life away

Santa Maria Clinic
You'll be my witness
Two days after his death
Gunshots rang again
Ten men died there
For the same reason

Bridge to Tierra Blanca
You who saw him pass
Remember that Lamberto
Will never be forgotten
I can assure you, my dear
That he's greatly missed in Culiacán
