Paroles et traduction Luis Y Julian - Pistoleros Famosos

Pistoleros Famosos

Por las margenes del rio
Reynosa asta laredo
Se acabaron los vandidos se acaboron los pateros y asi se estan acabando a todos los pistoleros
Calleron dimas de leon generoso garza cano y los hermanos del fierro y uno que otro americano a todos los mas valientes
A traicion los a matado
Lucio callo en monterrey
Silvano en el rio grande lo matoron a mansalva los rinches que son cobardes
En los pueblitos del norte
Siempre a corrido la sangre
Liquidaron a ezequiel por el año del 40
Jose lopez en linares
Sigue aumentando la cuenta
Y arturo garza treviño alla en el 11 60
Los pistoleros de fama una ofensa no la olvida
Y se mueren en la raya no les importa la vida
Los panteones son testigos es cierto no son mentiras
Asi se estan acabando todos los mas decididos
No a todos se les recuerda cantandoles sus corridos
Murieron porque eran hombres
No porque fueran vandidos

Famous Gunmen

Along the banks of the river
Reynosa to Laredo
The bandits are all gone, the outlaws are over, and so are all the gunmen
Dimas de Leon, Generoso Garza, and the Fierro brothers have all fallen, and so have many other valiant men
They have been killed in cold blood
Lucio was killed in Monterrey
Silvano was killed in the Rio Grande by the cowardly Rangers
In the northern towns
Blood has always flowed
Ezequiel was killed in 1940
And Jose Lopez in Linares
The list goes on and on
And Arturo Garza Treviño in 1960
Famous gunmen never forget an offense
And they die fighting, no matter the cost
The cemeteries are proof of this, it is true, not a lie
And so the bravest of men are dying out
Not all of them are remembered in ballads
They died because they were men
Not because they were outlaws
