Текст и перевод песни Mazz - Gabino Barrera

Gabino Barrera

Gabino Barrera no entendía razones
Andando en la borrachera
Cargaba pistola con seis cargadores
Le daba gusto a cualquiera.
Usaba el bigote en cuadro abultado
Su paño al cuello enredado
Calzones de mata, chamarra de cuero
Traía colteado el sombrero.

Sus pies campesinos usaban huaraches
Y a veces a raiz andaba
Pero le gustaba 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, bien dado, muy ancho de espadas
Su rostro mal encachado
Su negra mirada un aire le daba
Al buitre de la montañas.
Gabino Barrera dejaba mujeres
Con hijos por donde quiera
Por eso en los pueblos donde se paseaba
Se la tenían sentenciada.
Recuero 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 perdió como pierden
Los gallos en los tapados.

Gabino Barrera

Gabino Barrera didn't understand reasons
Walking in a drunken stupor
He carried a pistol with six chargers
He was ready for anyone.
He wore a big, bushy mustache
His neckerchief tied around his neck
Leather chaps, a leather jacket
His hat tilted back.

His peasant feet wore sandals
And sometimes he walked barefoot
But he loved to pay for mariachis
Money didn't matter to him.
With a bottle of sugarcane liquor in his hand
He shouted "Viva Zapata!"
Because the Indian from the south was a rancher
He was the son of a good mother.

He was tall, well-built, broad-shouldered
His face poorly shaved
His black eyes gave him the air
Of a mountain vulture.
Gabino Barrera left women
With children everywhere
That's why in the towns where he roamed
They had sentenced him to death.
I remember the night they murdered him
He was coming from seeing his lover
Eighteen Mauser rounds rang out
Without giving him time for anything.
Gabino Barrera died like men die
Who are brave
For a dark-haired woman, he lost as they lose
Roosters in the fighting pits.
