Gabino Barrera no entendía razones
Gabino Barrera did not understand reasons
Andando en la borrachera
Walking drunk
Usaba pistola con seis cargadores
He used a pistol with six magazines
Le daba gusto a cualquiera
He pleased anyone
Usaba el bigote en cuadro abultado
He wore a thick square mustache
Su paño al cuello enredado
His cloth around his neck tangled
Calzones de mata, chamarra de cuero
Bush pants, leather jacket
Traía punteado el sombrero
He had his hat dotted
Sus pies campesinos usaban huaraches
His peasant feet wore huaraches
Y a veces a raíz andaba
And sometimes he walked behind
Pero le gustaba pagar los mariachis
But he liked to pay for the mariachis
La plata no le importaba
He didn't care about the money
Con una botella de caña en la mano
With a bottle of cane in your hand
Gritaba Viva Zapata!
He shouted Viva Zapata!
Porque era ranchero el indio suriano
Because he was a rancher, the Surian Indian
Era hijo de buena mata
He was a son of good breeding
Era alto, bien dado, muy ancho de espadas
He was tall, well built, very broad with swords
Su rostro mal encachado
His badly covered face
Su negra mirada un aire le daba
His black gaze gave him an air
Al buitre de las montañas
To the vulture of the mountains
Gabino Barrera dejaba mujeres
Gabino Barrera left women
Con hijos por donde quiera
With children wherever he wants
Por eso en los pueblos donde se paseaba
That's why in the towns where he walked
Se la tenían sentenciada
They had her sentenced
Recuerdo la noche que lo asesinaron
I remember the night they murdered him
Venía de ver a su amada
He came to see his beloved
Dieciocho descargas de Mauser sonaron
Eighteen Mauser shots rang out
Sin darle tiempo de nada
Without giving you time for anything
Gabino Barrera murió como mueren
Gabino Barrera died as they die
Los hombres que son bragados
Men who are brave
Por una morena perdió como pierden
For a brunette he lost how they lose
Los gallos en los tapados
The roosters in the covered
