Gabino Barrera - Pepe Aguilar traduction en anglais

Gabino Barrera

Gabino Barrera, no entendía razones
Andando en la borrachera
Usaba pistolas con seis cargadores
Le daba gusto a cualquiera

Usaba el bigote en cuadro abultao
Su paño al cuello enredao
Calzones de manta, chamarra de cuero
Traiba punteao el sombrero

Sus pies campesinos usaban huaraches
A veces a raíz andaba
Pero le cuadraba pagar los mariachis
La plata no le importaba

Con una botella de caña en la mano
Gritaba: "¡viva, Zapata!"
Porque era ranchero, el indio suriano
Era hijo de buena mata

Era alto y bien dado, muy ancho de espaldas
Su rostro mal encachao
Su negra mirada un aire le daba
Al buitre de la montañas

Gabino Barrera, dejaba mujeres
Con hijos por 'onde quiera
Por eso en los pueblos donde se paseaba
Se la tenían sentenciada

Recuerdo la noche que lo asesinaron
Venía de ver a su amada
Dieciocho descargas de Máuser sonaron
Sin darle tiempo de nada

Gabino Barrera, murió como mueren
Los hombres que son bragados
Por una morena murió como mueren
Los gallos en los tapados

Gabino Barrera

Габино Баррера, he never listened to reasons
Always drunk and rowdy
He used to carry six-shot pistols
He enjoyed provoking anyone

He had a big square mustache
His neckerchief tied around his neck
Cotton pants, leather jacket
His hat had a sharp point

His rough feet wore sandals
Sometimes he went everywhere by donkey
But he loved to pay for mariachi bands
Money was no object for him

With a bottle of rum in his hand
He would shout: "Long live Zapata!"
Because he was a rancher, the southerner
He was a son of a good tree

He was tall and well-built, very broad-shouldered
His face was rugged
His dark eyes gave him the air
Of a mountain vulture

Gabino Barrera, he left women
With children all over the place
That's why in the towns where he went
He was marked for death

I remember the night he was murdered
He was coming back from seeing his lover
Eighteen rounds of Mauser gunfire rang out
Without giving him time to do anything

Gabino Barrera, he died the way
Men who are brave die
He died for a dark-haired woman
The way roosters die in cockfights
