Текст и перевод песни Luis Y Julian - Caro Quintero

Caro Quintero

En San José Costa Rica, lo tomaron prisionero
Ya se extendió la noticia, por todito el mundo entero
Aquí el corrido comienza, del señor Caro Quintero

10 agentes federales, le formaron su custodia,
Por ser un gallo muy fino, nacido allá en Sinaloa,
De esos no nacen a diario, y el que nace no se logra

Por matar un policía, del gobierno americano,
Robarse una tapatía, hoy se encuentra procesado
El león, el rey de las fieras, aunque se encuentre enjaulado

Dicen que quieren juzgarlo, los gringos allá en sujarens
Nada más para llevarlo, las manos van a sudarles,
Se me hace que van a hacerle, lo que la aire le hizo a Juárez

Rafael Caro Quintero, ya esta en su patria otra vez
Si creen que ya lo han medido, de la cabeza a los pies
Pa que lo quieren los gringos, si es que no, canta en ingles

La fiera ya esta enjaulada, pero se oyen los rugidos,
Allá por la madrugada, sus deseos serán cumplidos
Échense a huir la manada, si es que quieren quedar vivos

Caro Quintero

In San José, Costa Rica, he was taken prisoner, my love.
The news has spread, all over the world, my dear.
Here begins the ballad, of Mr. Caro Quintero, sweetheart.

Ten federal agents, formed his guard, my darling.
For being a fine rooster, born over there in Sinaloa, my love.
Those aren't born every day, and the one that is born doesn't always make it, my dear.

For killing a policeman, of the American government, sweetheart.
Stealing a girl from Guadalajara, today he is being prosecuted, my love.
The lion, the king of beasts, even though he is caged, my dear.

They say they want to try him, the gringos over there in their land, my darling.
Just to take him there, their hands are going to sweat, my love.
It seems to me they're going to do to him, what the wind did to Juarez, my dear.

Rafael Caro Quintero, is back in his homeland again, sweetheart.
If they think they've already measured him, from head to toe, my love.
Why do the gringos want him, if he doesn't sing in English, my dear?

The beast is caged, but the roars are heard, my darling.
There in the early morning, his wishes will be fulfilled, my love.
Run away, you pack of dogs, if you want to stay alive, my dear.
