Gabino Barrera
No entendía razones, andando en la borrachera
He didn't understand reasons, walking around drunk
Cargaba pistola
He carried a gun
Con 6 cargadores, le daba gusto a cualquiera
With 6 chargers, he pleased anyone
Usaba el bigote
He wore a mustache
En cuadro abultado, su paño al cuello enredado
In a bulging frame, his cloth around his neck tangled
Calzones de manta
blanket pants
Chamarra de cuero, traía punteado el sombrero
Leather jacket, he had a dotted hat
Sus pies campesinos
His peasant feet
Usaban guaraches, y a veces a raíz andaba
They used guaraches, and sometimes they walked
Pero le gustaba
But he liked it
Pagar los mariachis, la plata no le importaba
Pay for the mariachis, the money didn't matter to him
Con una botella
with a bottle
De caña en la mano, gritaba ¡Viva Zapata¡
With cane in hand, he shouted “Long live Zapata!”
Porque era ranchero
Because he was a rancher
El indio suriano, era hijo de buena mata

Era alto y bien dado
He was tall and well built
Muy ancho de espaldas, su rostro mal encachado
Very broad shouldered, his face poorly covered
Su negra mirada
His black gaze
Un aire le daba, al buitre de la montaña
It gave an air to the mountain vulture

Por eso en los pueblos

Donde se paseaba, se la tenían sentenciada

Que lo asesinaron, venia de ver a su amada

De máuser sonaron, sin darle tiempo de nada

Murió como mueren, los hombres que son bragados
He died as they die, men who are brave
Por una morena

Murió como mueren, los gallos en los tapados
He died as they die, the roosters in the covered ones
