Paroles et traduction Lorenzo De Monteclarò - El Federal De Caminos

El Federal De Caminos

En Reynosa, Tamaulipas los hombres son decididos
Por eso los recordamos cantándole sus corridos
Han matado allá en Zacatecas ha un federal de caminos

Era de verdad muy hombre, al peligro desafiaba
Honor le hacia al uniforme y al escuadra que el cargaba
En las cachas traía su nombre, Javier Peña se llamaba

Javier su deber cumplía, ¿cómo poder olvidarlo?
Cuando sonriendo decía, da tristeza recordarlo
"Que me toque la banda camino el corrido de Gerardo"

Y nos vamos del valle a Housto y San Antonio
Sin olvidarnos de Ineta, Texas, señores

Recuerdo aquella mañana, por cierto, era martes trece
Ponte el chaleco de valla, Javier le decía a jefe
Mas de pronto sonó una metralla y a los dos les dieron muerte

No les dieron tiempo a nada, ya sabían que era valiente
Le pusieron la emboscada, para luego, darle muerte
A Javier el valor le sobraba porque era del mero Norte

Federal Highway Officer

In Reynosa, Tamaulipas men are determined
That's why we remember them by singing their corridos
They killed a federal highway officer over in Zacatecas

He was truly a man, he defied danger
He honored the uniform and the gun he carried
On the handles it had his name, he was called Javier Peña

Javier did his duty, how can we forget him?
When smiling he would say, it's sad to remember
"Let the band play Gerardo's corrido for me"

And we'll go from the valley to Houston and San Antonio
Without forgetting Ineta, Texas, folks

I remember that morning, by the way, it was Tuesday the 13th
Put on your bulletproof vest, Javier told his boss
But suddenly a machine gun sounded and they both were killed

They didn't give them time for anything, they already knew he was brave
They ambushed him, and then, killed him
Javier had more than enough courage because he was from the North
