Leyenda Caro Quintero Lyrics in English Gerardo Ortiz
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Leyenda Caro Quintero by Gerardo Ortiz from Spanish to English.
Que caro les ha costado a los causantes

Que me condenaron
that condemned me
Nomas los recuerdos de 10 comandantes
Just the memories of ten commanders
Que mal me jugaron
that played me dirty
Recuerdo mi rancho mi lindo
I remember my beautiful ranch
Ganado mi viejo caballo
my cattle, my old horse
Aquella viejita que con toda
that little old lady who with all
Mi alma de veras la extraño
my soul I truly miss her
Mis viejos amigos mi gente mi equipo

Mi hermano querido mi cuerno de chivo

Mi pelo blanqueado se ven las arrugas

Ps no son en vano
Well, they’re not in vain
Filoso el colmillo de las experiencias

Que el tiempo me ha dado

Y recuerdo mi socio de tantos negocios
