Gabino Barrera no entendía razones

Andando en la borrachera
walking on the drunk
Cargaba pistola con seis cargadores
He loaded a pistol with six magazines
Le daba gusto a cualquiera
He liked anyone
Usaba el bigote de cuadro abultado
He wore the bulging box mustache
Su paño al cuello enredado
His cloth around his neck tangled
Calzones de manta, chamarra de cuero
Blanket breeches, leather jacket
Traía colteado el sombrero
He was wearing his hat
Sus pies campesinos usaban huaraches
His peasant feet wore huaraches
Y a veces a raíz andaba
And sometimes at the root he walked
Pero le gustaba la Tierra Sagrada
But he liked the Holy Land
La plata no le importaba
The money didn't matter
Con una botella de caña en la mano
With a bottle of cane in hand
Gritaba Viva Zapata!
He was shouting Viva Zapata!
Porque era ranchero, era indio suriano
Because he was a rancher, he was a southern Indian
Era hijo de buena mata
He was the son of a good kill
Era alto y bien dado, muy ancho de espadas
He was tall and well built, very broad in swords
Su rostro mal encachado
His face badly masked
Su negra mirada un aire le daba
His black gaze gave her an air
Al buitre de la montañas
to the vulture of the mountains
Gabino Barrera dejaba mujeres
Gabino Barrera left women
Con hijos por donde quiera
With children wherever he wants
Por eso en los pueblos donde se paseaba
That's why in the towns where he walked
Se la tenían sentenciada
They had it sentenced
Recuerdo la noche que lo asesinaron
I remember the night he was murdered
Venía de ver a su amada
He came to see his beloved
Dieciocho descargas de Mauser sonaron
Eighteen Mauser volleys rang out
Sin darle tiempo de nada
Without giving him time for anything
Gabino Barrera murió como mueren
Gabino Barrera died as they die
Los hombres que son bragados
The men who are braggados
Por una morena murió como mueren
For a brunette he died as they die
Los gallos en los tapados.
The roosters in the coats
