Lyrics and translation Manny Montes - Ricky Y Manuel

Ricky Y Manuel

Son las 7 de la manana
Ricky y manuel en el punto
Pues desde pequenos ese ha sido su asunto
Pendiente de los clientes
En el primer q llega
Ganarse el dinero realizar la buena venta
Del ilegal negocio ellos 2 sobreviven
Sus ojos bien cerrados nada bueno ellos perciben
A esos de las 9 pasa un joven cristiano
Con reliciete rostro y le estrecha la mano
Le regala un tratado y le dice busquen a cristo
El muchacho se despide y continua su camino
Manuel rompe el tratado y prende un cigariillo
Pero ricky pensativo se lo echa al bolsillo

Son las 12 y deciden ir a su casa
Continua su trayecto a ver si algo nuevo pasa
Manuel llega y su madre le pregunta donde estaba
El le grita y le dice q eso no le interesaba

Ricky llega pensativo y cansado
Se sienta en un sillon y comienza a leer el tratado
El se preguntaba xq en sus ojos habia llanto
Era el toque y el poder del espiritu santo

(Coro)
Cual vas a tomar cual vas a escojer
El camino de ricky o el de manuel (bis)

Son las 6 de la tarde velven a lo mismo
Un pie en la tierra y otro en un abismo
Cuando de repente aparece aquel chamaco
El mismo que le habia regalado los tratados
Le pregunta q si a la iglesia quieren ir
Manuel dice q no pero ricky dice si
Manuel le dice a ricky para q yo voy a ir
Si el dinero no esta alla el dinero esta aqui

Llegan a la iglesia y ya estaban predicando
Y ricky bien atento a lo q estaban hablando
Hicieron un llamado el coro y no lo penso
Sintio el amor de cristo y le dio su corazon
Sintio un cambio en su vida
Y una paz impresionante
Se sentia mas q alegre
Era algo emocionante
Inmediatamente cuando se acabo el culto
Ricky se dirigio para el punto
A contarle a manuel lo q habia sucedido
Q esa misma noche el se habia convertido
Inmediatamente cuando al punto llega
Se detiene en una esquina una truper negra
Sacan unas armas de la ventana
Y se escuchan a lo lejos impactos de bala
No escapando de las balas
Quien alli ya esta muerto
Y salen las armas de su frio cuerpo

(Coro)

De su frio cuerpo salen las armas
Pero hay algo en esta triste historia q a mi me alarma
Es que manuel tuviendo al rey el no lo quizo
Ahora su alma sin esperanza ya se encuentra en el piso
Xq no lo quizo cojer yo no lo entiendo
Ahora su alma estara en el castigo eteno
Mientra el alma de ricky al cielo subia
Y ellos antes de irse una palabra se decian
MANUEL XQ NO QUISISTE IR CONMIGO
SI SOLAMENTE ERA UN RATITO
YA NO TE VOLVERE A VER HASTA NUNCA AMIGO
RICKY NO VEZ Q ME ESTOY QUEMANDO
POR FAVOR DAME LA MANO
POR FAVOR AYUDAME NO VEZ Q ME QUEMO

(Coro) 2bis

Ricky Y Manuel

It is 7 in the morning
Ricky and Manuel are on the spot
Because since they were little that has been their business
Attending to customers
To the first one that arrives
Earning money making a good sale
They survive from the illegal business
Their eyes are closed they perceive nothing good
At about 9 o'clock a young Christian comes by
With a thoughtful face and he shakes their hand
He gives them a pamphlet and tells them to seek Christ
The young man takes his leave and continues on his way
Manuel tears up the pamphlet and lights a cigarette
But Ricky, thoughtfully, puts it in his pocket

It is 12 and they decide to go home
They continue on their way to see if something new happens
Manuel arrives and his mother asks him where he was
He yells at her and tells her that that did not interest him

Ricky arrives thoughtful and tired
He sits on a chair and begins to read the pamphlet
He wondered why there were tears in his eyes
It was the touch and power of the holy spirit

(Chorus)
Which one will you take, which one will you choose
Ricky's way or Manuel's (twice)

It is 6 in the evening they go back to the same thing
One foot on the ground and another in the abyss
When suddenly that kid appears
The same one who had given them the pamphlets
He asks them if they want to go to church
Manuel says no but Ricky says yes
Manuel tells Ricky why should I go there
If the money is not there, the money is here

They get to church and they were already preaching
And Ricky was very attentive to what they were saying
They made a call to the choir and he did not hesitate
He felt the love of Christ and gave him his heart
He felt a change in his life
And an impressive peace
He felt more than happy
It was something exciting
Immediately when the service was over
Ricky headed to the spot
To tell Manuel what had happened
That the same night he had converted
Immediately when he gets to the spot
He stops at a corner a black troop car
They take out some guns from the window
And gunshots are heard in the distance
He did not escape from the bullets
Who is already dead there
And the weapons come out of his cold body

(Chorus)

From his cold body the weapons come out
But there is something in this sad story that alarms me
It is that Manuel having the king he did not want him
Now his soul without hope is already on the floor
Why did he not want to take him I do not understand
Now his soul will be in eternal punishment
While Ricky's soul went up to heaven
And before they left they said a word to each other
MANUEL WHY DIDN'T YOU WANT TO GO WITH ME
IF IT WAS ONLY FOR A LITTLE WHILE
I WILL NEVER SEE YOU AGAIN FAREWELL FRIEND
RICKY CAN'T YOU SEE I'M BURNING
PLEASE GIVE ME YOUR HAND
PLEASE HELP ME CANT YOU SEE I'M BURNING

(Chorus) 2x
