Lyrics and translation Ramon Ayala - Gumaro Vasquez




Gumaro Vasquez
Gumaro Vasquez
Para canciones el sur
For songs the south
Para corridos el norte
For corridos the north
De Reynosa hasta Tijuana
From Reynosa to Tijuana
Nadie le teme a la muerte
No one fears death
De ahí traigo este corrido
From there I bring this corrido
Va dedicado a un valiente
It is dedicated to a brave man
Cayó en una emboscada
He fell in an ambush
Como han caído los grandes
As the great ones have fallen
No le dieron tiempo a nada
They gave him no time for anything
Fueron varios los cobardes
There were several cowards
A sangre fría y mansalva
In cold blood and ambush
Ha muerto Gumaro Vázquez
Gumaro Vasquez is dead
De ese penal de la Loma
From that Loma prison
Un tiempo fue prisionero
He was a prisoner for a time
Tal vez por miedo y envidia
Perhaps out of fear and envy
Un soplón le puso el dedo
An informant fingered him
Por miedo que le tenían
For fear they had of him
Querían quitarlo de en medio
They wanted to get him out of the way
También los Rinches Tejanos
Also the Rinches Tejanos
A Gumaro conocieron
They knew Gumaro
Las grandes bandas de narcos
The big drug bands
A su cabeza pusieron
Put a price on his head
En dólares un buen precio
A good price in dollars
A muerte lo sentenciaron
They sentenced him to death
En Reynosa lo mataron
They killed him in Reynosa
Por miedo, dice la gente
Out of fear, people say
Y donde lo sepultaron
And where they buried him
Fue en la tumba de su padre
Was in his father's grave
A él también lo mataron
They killed him too
En una forma cobarde
In a cowardly way
Adiós, Riveras del Bravo
Goodbye, Riveras del Bravo
Cantando yo me despido
I say goodbye singing
Ya mataron a Gumaro
They've killed Gumaro
Ya pueden andar tranquilos
Now you can rest easy
Los Rinches del otro lado
The Rinches on the other side
Y todos sus enemigos
And all his enemies
