Текст и перевод песни Los Cadetes De Linares - La Banda del Carro Rojo

La Banda del Carro Rojo

Dicen que venian del sur
En un carro colorado
Traian cien kilos de coca
Iban con rumbo a Chicago
Asi lo dijo el soplon
Que los habia denunciado.

Ya habian pasado la aduana
La que esta por el paso
Pero en las cruces los rinchers
Lo estaban esperando
Eran los rangers de texas
Que comandan el condado.

Una sirena lloraba
Y el sargento les gritaba
Que detuvieran el carro
Para que lo registraran
Y que no se resistieran
Porque si no los mataban.

Surgio una M-16
Cuando iba rompiendo el aire
El faro de una patrulla
Se vio volar por los aires
Asi empezo aquel combate
Donde fue la gran masacre.

Decia Lino Quintana
Esto tenia que pasar
Mis compañeros han muerto
Ya no podran declarar
Y yo lo siento sheriffes
Porque yo no se cantar.

De los siete que murieron
Solo las cruces quedaron
Cuatro eran del carro rojo
Los otros tres del gobierno
Por ellos no se preocupen
Iran con Lino al infierno.

Dicen que eran del Cantil
Otros que eran del Altar
Hasta por ahi dicen muchos
Que procedian de Parral
La verdad nunca se supo
Nadie los fue a reclamar.

The Red Car Gang

They say they came from the south
In a red car
They brought a hundred kilos of cocaine
They were headed to Chicago
That's what the snitch said
Who had reported them.

They had already passed through customs
The one at the border crossing
But at Las Cruces the rinchers
Were waiting for them
They were the Texas Rangers
Who command the county.

A siren wailed
And the sergeant shouted at them
To stop the car
So they could search it
And that they should not resist
Or they would be killed.

An M-16 emerged
As it was breaking the air
The headlight of a patrol car
Was seen flying through the air
Thus began that battle
Where the great massacre took place.

Lino Quintana said
This had to happen
My companions are dead
They will not be able to testify
And I'm sorry, sheriffs
Because I can't sing.

Of the seven who died
Only the crosses remained
Four were from the red car
The other three from the government
Don't worry about them
They will go with Lino to hell.

They say they were from El Cantil
Others say they were from El Altar
Many even say
That they came from Parral
The truth was never known
No one came to claim them.
