Paroles et traduction Antonio Aguilar - Valente Quintero

Valente Quintero

Aquí me siento a cantar
Con cariño verdadero
Versos que le compusieron
A Don Valente Quintero

Le decia su consentida
Valente que vas a hacer
El mayor anda borracho
Y algo puede suceder

Valente llegó a ese baile
Y mando tocar el toro
Si el mayor paga con plata
Yo se los pago con oro

Los musicos contestaron
No lo sabemos tocar
Valente ya andas borracho
Y pos de querer pelear

Valente andaba borracho
Y andaba escandalizando
Con esta cuarenta y cinco
No respeto ningún grado

El mayor le contestó
Sea por el amor de Dios
La tuya es cuarenta y cinco
La mia quema treinta y dos

Salió el mayor para afuera
Bastante muy irritado
Valente tú no eres hombre
Eres un ocacionado

Se tomaron de la mano
Se apartaron de la bola
Y a los poquitos momentos
Se oyen tiros de pistola

Valente esta agonizando
Dandole cuenta al creador
Alza los brazos al cielo
Y de un balazo al mayor

Vuela, vuela palomita
Y si no vuelas, detente
Estas son las mañanitas
Del Mayor y de Valente

Valente Quintero

Here I sit and sing
With true affection
Verses that were composed
For Don Valente Quintero

His sweetheart would say to him
Valente, what are you going to do?
The oldest is drunk
And something might happen

Valente arrived at that dance
And asked for them to play "El Toro"
If the oldest pays with silver
I'll pay with gold

The musicians answered
We don't know how to play it
Valente, you're drunk
And probably want to fight

Valente was drunk
And was causing a scene
With this .45
He didn't respect any rank

The oldest answered him
For the love of God
Yours is a .45
Mine fires .32

The oldest went outside
Very irritated
Valente, you're not a man
You're a troublemaker

They grabbed each other's hands
And moved away from the crowd
And a few moments later
Gunshots could be heard

Valente is dying
Surrendering to his creator
He raises his arms to heaven
And shoots the oldest

Fly, fly little dove
And if you don't fly, stop
This is the dawn
Of the Major and Valente
