Nomás al pisarle el gas, rugía el motor arreglado
Just when you step on the gas, the fixed engine roars
Impecable su pintura, de todo bien equipado
Impeccable paint, everything well equipped
Nomás hablar le faltaba a aquel hermoso Camaro
Just talking was missing from that beautiful Camaro
A Junior se lo compré, que anduviera bien montado
I bought it from Junior, so that it was well assembled
Cuando se paseaba en él, era la envidia del barrio
When he rode around in it, he was the envy of the neighborhood
Nunca pensé que yo a mijo, la muerte le había comprado
I never thought that death had bought my son
Solo tenía 15 años, se le notaba en la cara
He was only 15 years old, you could see it in his face
Cuando lo veía en su Camaro, yo le miraba las alas
When I saw him in his Camaro, I looked at his wings
Mi pollo no tenía plumas y yo quería que volara
My chicken had no feathers and I wanted it to fly
Un domingo en la mañana, todo parecía alegría
One Sunday morning, everything seemed joy
De pronto me comunican, lo que jamás pensaría
Suddenly they tell me what I would never think
En un accidente vial, Junior estaba sin vida
In a road accident, Junior was lifeless
Tal vez yo tuve la culpa, por darle todo en la vida
Maybe I was to blame for giving him everything in life
No quería que le faltara, lo que a su edad no tenía
I didn't want him to lack what he didn't have at his age
Si Dios nos mandó sin alas, ¿yo pa qué se las ponía?
If God sent us without wings, why did I put them on?
Las cosas tienen su tiempo, yo lo llevé temprano
Things have their time, I took it early
Por querer tanto a los hijos, algunos padres fallamos
Because we love our children so much, some parents fail
En lugar de darles todo ¿por qué no los preparamos?
Instead of giving them everything, why don't we prepare them?
Solo tenía 15 años, se le notaba en la cara
He was only 15 years old, you could see it in his face
Cuando lo veía en su Camaro, yo le miraba las alas
When I saw him in his Camaro, I looked at his wings
Mi pollo no tenía plumas y yo quería que volara
My chicken had no feathers and I wanted it to fly
