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 had a hundred kilos of coke
Iban con rumbo a Chicago
They were headed to Chicago
Así lo dijo el soplón
That's what the snitch said
Que los había denunciado
Who had ratted them out
Ya habían pasado la aduana
They'd already cleared customs
La que está en El Paso, Texas
The one in El Paso, Texas
Pero en mero San Antonio
But right in San Antonio
Lo estaban esperando
They were waiting for them
Eran los rinches de Texas
It was the Texas Rangers
Que comandan el condado
Who run the county
Una sirena lloraba
A siren was wailing
Un emigrante gritaba
An immigrant was yelling
Que detuvieran el carro
Telling them to stop the car
Para que lo registraran
So they could search it
Y que no se resistieran
And not to fight back
Porque si no los mataban
Or else they'd kill them
Surge un M-16
An M-16 popped up
Cuando iba rugiendo el aire
As it ripped through the air
El faro de una patrulla
A patrol car's headlight
Se vio volar por el aire
Was seen flying through the air
Así empezó aquel combate
That's how that shootout started
Donde fue aquella masacre
Where that massacre went down
Decía Lino Quintana
Lino Quintana said
Esto tenía que pasar
This had to happen
Mis compañeros han muerto
My buddies are dead
Ya no podrán declarar
They can't testify now
Y yo lo siento sheriff
And I'm sorry, sheriff
Porque yo no se cantar
'Cause I can't sing
De los siete que murieron
Of the seven who died
Solo las cruces quedaron
Only the crosses were left
Cuatro eran del carro rojo
Four were from the red car
Los otros tres del gobierno
The other three from the law
Por ellos no se preocupen
Don't worry about them
Irán con Lino al infierno
They'll go to hell with Lino
Dicen que eran del Cantil
They say they were from Cantil
Otros que eran del Altar
Others say from Altar
Hasta por ahí dicen muchos
Some even say
Que procedían del Parral
They came from Parral
La verdad nunca se supo
The truth was never known
Nadie los fue a declarar
Nobody went to identify them
