Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Barba Negra by LOS DOS DE TAMAULIPAS from Spanish to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
El rojo delata a mi rostro
The red betrays my face
Humos que nublan mis ojos
Smoke that clouds my eyes
Es el efecto de mi cigarro
It's the effect of my cigarette
Miro el paisaje distorsionado
I look at the distorted landscape
En mi Camaro supercargado
In my supercharged Camaro
Me miran, soy sospechoso
They look at me, I'm suspicious
Mi semblante peligroso
My expression dangerous
La 5.7 manoteo en corto
The 5.7 I wave shortly
Escupe la muerte vestida de plomo
It spits out death dressed in lead
Con ese ruidito lueguito me entono
With that little sound, soon I get in tune
Las apariencias engañan
Appearances are deceiving
Cuídense del agua mansa
Beware of the calm water
No me revuelco en el lodo pariente
I don't wallow in the mud, cousin
No somos puercos, no somos corrientes
We are not pigs, we are not ordinary
Los chapulines los trozo en caliente
I chop up the grasshoppers while hot
Si el río suena, trae piedras
If the river makes noise, it brings stones
Si no hay respeto, hay ofensa
If there is no respect, there is offense
Si se atraviesan rugen metralletas
If they get in the way, machine guns roar
Mi clave y mi nombre toneladas pesan
My code and my name weigh tons
Surge el efecto la barbona negra
The effect of the black beard emerges
Jefes, compañeros y amigos
Bosses, colleagues, and friends
El legado del guerito
The legacy of the blond
No dejaremos caer el trabajo
We won't let the work fall
La misma gente sigue cooperando
The same people keep cooperating
El Chango o el Yuwui, todos los muchachos
El Chango or El Yuwui, all the guys
Mantengo este recorrido
I maintain this route
No me desvío del camino
I don't stray from the path
Las traiciones se pagan con la muerte
Betrayals are paid with death
La muerte aplaza, más no se detiene
Death delays, but does not stop
Y ese amiguito sabe que las debe
And that little friend knows what he owes
Ya con esta me despido
With this, I say goodbye
Forjándome uno de grifo
Crafting myself one from the tap
Lumbre al cigarro le jalo y suspiro
I pull fire to the cigarette and sigh
Me pierdo en el humo, nos vemos amigos
I get lost in the smoke, see you friends
Esto es historia, no solo un corrido
This is history, not just a corrido
Que quedó el recuerdo mientras yo esté vivo
That remains in memory as long as I am alive
