Paroles et traduction Adan Chalino Sanchez - Corrido del Quintillo

Corrido del Quintillo

En un reten de ladrones en ese cayo un amigo,
Si quieren saber su nombre a horita
Yo se los digo Andrés González Quiroz
Y le apodan el quintillo.

Tenían muchos detenidos, en el suelo panza abajo
Quintillo venia solo no lo acompañaba el sapo.
Querían dinero y alajas y lo que hubo fue balazos.

La pistola venia oculta en la troca en que viajaba
Le bajaron 2 millones la esclava venia sellada
Querían mocharle la mano pa ver si así la entregaba.

No boy a perder la mano me sirve más que esta joya
A debajo del asiento se encontraba la pistola
Pensó el quintillo al tentarla se va poner fea la bola.

Eran 3 los asaltantes y alcanzo a tumbar a 2
Pero el otro que faltaba 3 tiros le disparo,
Pero al echarse a la fuga desde el suelo lo tumbo herido
Como se hallaba se monto a su camioneta con rumbo
Asia Culiacán para ver si se salvaba al llegar a la cruz roja
La vista se le nublaba.

Pongan cuidado señores por esos caminos reales con
Los retenes fantasmas como el que cayó Gonzáles
Por que eran 3 animañas la cárcel no fue a pisarles.

Ballad of Quintillo

At a checkpoint of thieves in that cay, a friend,
If you want to know his name now,
I will tell you Andrés González Quiroz,
And they call him Quintillo.

They had many detained, on the ground face down
Quintillo came alone, the toad did not accompany him.
They wanted money and jewelry, and what happened was gunfire.

The gun was hidden in the truck in which he traveled
They took 2 million from him, the slave was sealed
They wanted to cut off his hand to see if he would give it up like that.

I'm not going to lose my hand, it serves me more than this jewel
The gun was under the seat
Quintillo thought, when he felt it, things are going to get ugly.

There were three assailants and he managed to shoot 2
But the other one who was missing fired 3 shots at him,
But when he started to flee, he shot him from the ground, wounded.
As he was he got into his truck heading
to Culiacán to see if he could be saved upon arriving at the Red Cross
His vision was clouded.

Be careful, gentlemen, on those royal roads with
The phantom checkpoints like the one Gonzáles fell into
Because there were 3 animals, the prison was not for them.
