La Banda Del Carro Rojo Lyrics in English Chalino Sánchez , Lorenzo de Monteclaro, Amigos de Gines
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song La Banda Del Carro Rojo by Chalino Sánchez from Spanish to English.
Dicen que venían del sur
They say they came from the south
En un carro colorado
In a red car
Traían cien kilos de coca
They brought one hundred kilos of coca
Iban con rumbo a Chicago

Así lo dijo el soplón
That's what the snitch said
Que los había denunciado
That he had denounced them
Ya habían pasado la aduana
They had already passed customs
La que está en El Paso, Texas
The one in El Paso, Texas
Pero en mero San Antonio
But in mere San Antonio
Lo estaban esperando
They were waiting for him
Eran los rinches de Texas
They were the rinches of Texas
Que comandan el condado
who command the county
Una sirena lloraba
A mermaid cried
Un emigrante gritaba
An emigrant shouted
Que detuvieran el carro
Let them stop the car
Para que lo registraran
So that they could register it
Y que no se resistieran
And that they did not resist
Porque si no los mataban
Because if they didn't kill them
Surge un M-16
An M-16 emerges
Cuando iba rugiendo el aire
When the air was roaring
El faro de una patrulla
The headlight of a patrol
Se vio volar por el aire
It was seen flying through the air
Así empezó aquel combate

Donde fue aquella masacre

Mis compañeros han muerto

Ya no podrán declarar

Y yo lo siento sheriff

Porque yo no se cantar

De los siete que murieron

Solo las cruces quedaron

Cuatro eran del carro rojo

Los otros tres del gobierno

Por ellos no se preocupen

Irán con Lino al infierno

Dicen que eran del Cantil

Hasta por ahí dicen muchos

Que procedían del Parral

La verdad nunca se supo
