Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Tino Quintero by Chalino Sanchez from Spanish to English.
un dia veinti ocho de enero como me hiere esa fecha
one day twenty-eighth of January as that date hurts me
cuando a lamberto quintero lo seguia una camioneta
When Lamberto Quintero was followed by a pickup truck
iva con rumbo al salado nadamas a dar una vuelta
VAT heading to Salado Nadamas for a ride
pasaron el carrizal iva tomando cerveza un compañiero les dijo
They spent the Carrizal VAT drinking beer a companion told them
no sigue una camionta lamberto sonriendo dijo para que son las metralletas
Do not follow a truck Lamberto smiling said what are the submachine guns for?
ya cerquitas de salado rugieron dos r 15 ay dejaron un muerto enemigo
Already close to Salado roared two R 15 ay left an enemy dead
quisiera que fuera cuento pero señores es cierto
I would like it to be a story but gentlemen it is true
un hombre fuera de serie alegre y atrabancado platicando con su novia
A cheerful and binged man chatting with his girlfriend
el estava descuidado cuando unas armas serteras la vida le arrebataron
He was careless when some serteras weapons took his life
clinica santa maria tu vas a hacer mi testigo dos dias despues de su muerte
CLINICA SANTA MARIA YOU ARE GOING TO MAKE MY WITNESS TWO DAYS AFTER HIS DEATH
traman los cuernos de chivos ahi cayeron 10 hombres por esos mismo motivos
They plot the horns of goats there fell 10 men for those same reasons
puente que va a tierra blanca tu que lo viste pasar
Bridge that goes to Tierra Blanca you who saw it pass
recuerdales que a lamberto lo deben recordar
Remind them that Lambert should be remembered

I, for my part, am sure that it is needed in Culiacan
