Lamberto Quintero Lyrics in English Antonio Aguilar
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Lamberto Quintero by Antonio Aguilar from Spanish to English.
Un día veintiocho de enero
One day, the twenty-eighth of January
Cómo me hiere esa fecha
How that date hurts me
A don Lamberto Quintero
Don Lamberto Quintero
Lo seguía una camioneta
Was being tailed by a pickup
Iban con rumbo al Salado
They were heading toward El Salado
No más a dar una vuelta
Just to take a spin
Pasaron el Carrizal
They passed El Carrizal
Iban tomando cerveza
They were drinking beer
Su compañero le dijo
His partner told him
'Nos sigue una camioneta'
'A pickup's following us'
Lamberto sonriendo dijo
Lamberto, smiling, said
'¿Pa' que son las metralletas?'
'What are the machine guns for, then?'
Ya cerquita del Salado
Already close to El Salado
Rugieron dos R-15
Two R-15s roared
Ahí dejaron a un muerto
There they left a dead man
Enemigo de Lamberto
An enemy of Lamberto
Quisiera que fuera cuento
I wish that it were a tale
Pero, señores, es cierto
But, gentlemen, it's true
Un hombre fuera de serie
An extraordinary man
Alegre y enamorado
Happy and in love
Platicando con su novia
Talking with his girlfriend
Él estaba descuidado
He was off guard
Cuando unas balas certeras
When some accurate bullets
La vida le arrebataron
Snatched away his life
Clínica Santa María
Santa María Clinic
Tú vas a ser mi testigo
You're going to be my witness
Dos días después de su muerte
Two days after his death
Vuelven a sonar los tiros
The shots ring out again
Ahí quedaron diez hombres
Ten men were left there
Por esos mismos motivos
For those same reasons
Puente que va a Tierra Blanca
Bridge that leads to Tierra Blanca
Tú que lo viste pasar
You, who saw him go by
Recuérdales que a Lamberto
Remind them that Lamberto
Nunca se podrá olvidar
Can never be forgotten
Yo por mi parte aseguro
For my part, I assure
Que hace falta en Culiacán
That he's missed in Culiacán
