Lyrics and translation Los Tigres del Norte - Le Compre La Muerte A Mi Hijo




Le Compre La Muerte A Mi Hijo
I Bought Death for My Son
No mas al pisarle el gas
As soon as he hit the gas
Rugia el motor arreglado
The fixed engine roared
Impecable su pintura
Its paint was impeccable
De todo bien equipado
Equipped with everything
No mas hablar le faltaba
All it needed was the ability to speak
A aquel hermoso Camaro
That beautiful Camaro
A junior se lo compre
I bought it for Junior
Que anduviera bien montado
So he could ride in style
Cuando se pasiaba en el
When he drove around in it
Era la envidiadel barrio
He was the envy of the neighborhood
Nunca pensé que yo a mijo
I never thought I'd buy my son
La muerte le habia comprado
Death
Solo tenía quince años
He was only fifteen
Se le notaba en la cara
You could see it in his face
Cuando lo veía en su Camaro
When I saw him in his Camaro
Yo le miraban las alas
I looked at his wings
Mi pollo no tenia plumas
My chick didn't have any feathers
Y yo queria qe volará
And I wanted him to fly
Un domigo en la mañana
One Sunday morning
Todo parecía alegría
Everything seemed cheerful
De pronto me comunican
Suddenly, I was told
Lo que jamás pensaría
What I would never have thought
En un accidente vial
In a car accident
Junior estaba sin vida
Junior was dead
Tal vez yo tuve la culpa
Maybe it was my fault
Por darle todo en la vida
For giving him everything in life
No queria que le faltará
I didn't want him to go without
Lo que a mi edad no tenía
What I didn't have at his age
Si Dios nos mando sin alas
If God sends us without wings
Yo pa′ que se las ponía
Why did I give them to him?
Las cosas tienen su tiempo
Things come in their own time
Y yo lo llevé temprano
And I rushed him
Porque querer tanto a los hijos
Because loving our children too much
Algunos padres fallamos
Some of us parents make mistakes
En lugar de darles todo
Instead of giving them everything
Porqe no los preparamos
Why don't we prepare them?
Solo tenía quince años
He was only fifteen
Se le notaba en la cara
You could see it in his face
Cuando lo veía en su Camaro
When I saw him in his Camaro
Yo le miraban las alas
I looked at his wings
Mi pollo no tenía plumas
My chick didn't have any feathers
Y yo queria que volará
And I wanted him to fly
