Lyrics and translation Pepe Aguilar - Lamberto Quintero




Lamberto Quintero
Lamberto Quintero
Un día 28 de enero
One day, January 28th
Cómo me hiere esa fecha
A date that wounds me deeply
A don Lamberto Quintero
Don Lamberto Quintero
Lo seguía una camioneta
Was followed by a van
Iban con rumbo al salado
They were headed for El Salado
Nomás a dar una vuelta
Just to take a drive
Pasaron el carrizal
They passed El Carrizal
Iban tomando cerveza
Drinking beers as they went
Su compañero le dijo
His companion told him
Nos sigue una camioneta
We're being followed by a van
Lamberto sonriendo dijo
Lamberto smiled and said
"¿Pa' qué son las metralletas?"
"What are machine guns for?"
Ya cerquita del salado
Nearing El Salado
Rugieron 2 R-15
Two R-15s roared
Ahí dejaron a un muerto
They left a dead man there
Enemigo de Lamberto
An enemy of Lamberto's
Quisiera que fuera cuento
I'd like to believe it's just a story
Pero señores, es cierto
But ladies and gentlemen, it's true
Un hombre fuera de serie
A man unlike any other
Alegre y enamorado
Cheerful and in love
Platicando con su novia
Chatting with his girlfriend
Él estaba descuidado
He was off his guard
Cuando unas balas certeras
When deadly bullets
La vida le arrebataron
Took his life
Clínica Santa María
Santa Maria Clinic
vas a ser mi testigo
You'll bear witness
Dos días después de su muerte
Two days after his death
Vuelven a sonar los tiros
Gunfire rang out again
Ahí quedaron diez hombres
Ten men fell
Por esos mismos motivos
For the same reasons
Puente que va a Tierra Blanca
Bridge to Tierra Blanca
que lo viste pasar
You watched him pass
Recuérdales que a Lamberto
Remind them that Lamberto
Nunca se podrá olvidar
Will never be forgotten
Yo por mi parte aseguro
As for me, I'll say this
Que hace falta en Culiacán
Culiacán needs more like him
