Cara A La Muerte (Studio Version) Lyrics in English Gerardo Ortiz
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Cara A La Muerte (Studio Version) by Gerardo Ortiz from Spanish to English.
Ahora va este corrido, ¿cómo no?, Se llama Cara A La Muerte
Now here's this corrido, of course, it's called Face To Death
Los dos corridos progresivos de cu compa Gerardo Ortiz
The two progressive corridos from your buddy Gerardo Ortiz
Sólo pa' toda la plebada del sitio Guanajuato, ¿cómo no?
Just for all the people from Guanajuato, of course
Dice, y se escucha de esta forma
It goes, and it sounds like this
Cara a la muerte
Face to death
Cuando llegaron las balas
When the bullets arrived
No era advertencia
It wasn't a warning
Ni coincidencia
Nor a coincidence
Era la muerte en mi cara
It was death in my face
Tiempo que es vida
Time which is life
Y blanco a la mira
And a target in the sights
Asesinato me tenían rodeado
An assassination, they had me surrounded
En mi mente, mi familia
In my mind, my family
En minutos repase mi vida
In minutes I replayed my life
Puse fuerza, en mi cabeza
I gathered strength in my head
Subí tiro a mi cuarenta
I chambered a round in my forty
Les di pelea
I gave them a fight
Era esperado
It was expected
Que me arrimaran un golpe
That they would land a hit on me
Cuando hay errores
When there are mistakes
Hay correcciones
There are corrections
Y les fallé a los señores
And I failed the bosses
Hice negocio
I did business
Con los contrarios
With the rivals
Un chapulín nunca eleva su sal
A traitor never escapes his fate
Consecuencias, que atormentan
Consequences that torment
Hay errores que nunca se arreglan
There are mistakes that are never fixed
Si la muerte, comprendiera
If death would understand
Y si el momento cambiara la escena
And if the moment would change the scene
Que me coma la tierra
May the earth swallow me whole
Con la puerta paraba las balas
I was stopping bullets with the door
El impacto de una alta descarga
The impact of a heavy discharge
No hubo tiempo de hacer el intento
There was no time to even try
Sin piedad perforaban mi cuerpo
Without mercy they pierced my body
Con mis manos tapaba mis sesos
With my hands I covered my brains
Y la sangre corría entre mi cuerpo
And blood ran over my body
Ya lo rojo de blanco vestía
The red was now dressing the white
Era la despedida
It was the farewell
No tenia salida
I had no way out
Todo era blanco
Everything was white
Agonizaba en mi llanto
I agonized in my tears
Solo en minutos
Just in minutes
Se aproximaban
It was approaching
Venía el eterno descanso
The eternal rest was coming
Muerte en la escena
Death at the scene
Luces, sirenas
Lights, sirens
Los agresores tomaron vereda
The attackers took off
En segundos truncaban mi vida
In seconds they cut my life short
Y el espacio quedó en mi familia
And a void was left in my family
Solo balas y un hombre tirado
Just bullets and a man on the ground
Y en su cara un llanto empapado
And on his face, a tear-soaked cry
Era el afectado
He was the victim
Flores en llanto
Flowers in tears
Y cantidad de rosarios
And a number of rosaries
Buenos amigos
Good friends
Hijos queridos
Beloved children
Ya les fallé en el camino
I already failed you along the way
Cuerpo manchado
A stained body
Entrajesado
Dressed in a suit
Caca de plata y un hombre encamado
A silver casket and a man laid out
Quisiera escapar de mi cuerpo
I wish I could escape my body
Renacer, tener vida de nuevo
To be reborn, to have life again
Con dolor no descansa mi alma
In pain my soul doesn't rest
Solo queda perder la esperanza
All that's left is to lose hope
Dentro de mi caja
Inside my casket
