Donde Lloro El General Lyrics in English Chalino Sanchez
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Donde Lloro El General by Chalino Sanchez from Spanish to English.
En un pueblito olvidado
In a forgotten little town
Hay una tumba escondida
There is a hidden tomb
Que nadien ha visitado
That no one has visited
Aunque parezca mentira
Although it may seem unbelievable
De un general retirado
Of a retired general
Voy a contarles su vida
I am going to tell you his life
Trinidad era su nombre
Trinidad was his name
Y Reyes su apelativo
And Reyes his last name
Sabia manejar las armas
He knew how to handle weapons
Al ritmo de sus gatillos
To the rhythm of his triggers
Muchos perdieron la vida
Many lost their lives
De eso Parral fue testigo
Parral witnessed that
Con ordenes de arrestarlo
With orders to arrest him
Mandaron a Luis García
They sent Luis García
Solo con flores me llevas
Only with flowers you bring me
Y fata ver todavía
And still need to see
Quien de los dos necesita
Who of the two needs
Las cuatro velas prendidas
The four candles lit
García en silencio quedo
García remained silent
Pero al momento decía
But in a moment he said
Antes de ser militar
Before becoming a soldier
Las reglas ya conocía
I already knew the rules
Perdone usted general
Excuse me, General
Esta es su vida o la mía
Is it your life or mine?
Se miraron un momento
They looked at each other for a moment
Todo en silencio quedo
Everything fell silent
Y el general al sargento
And the general grabbed the sergeant
Por el cuello lo agarro
By the neck
Todo paso tan violento
Everything happened so violently
Que unos de los dos cayó
That one of the two fell
Solo un balazo se oyó
Only one gunshot was heard
La bala zumbo en el viento
The bullet whistled in the wind
Reyes quiso disparar
Reyes tried to shoot
Pero fallo en el intento
But failed in the attempt
Muerto cayo el general
The general fell dead
Fue mas veloz el sargento
The sergeant was faster
