El Federal De Caminos Lyrics in English Ramón Ayala
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song El Federal De Caminos by Ramón Ayala from Spanish to English.
En Reynosa Tamaulipas
In Reynosa, Tamaulipas
los hombres son decididos
The men are determined
por eso los recordamos
That's why we remember them
cantandoles sus corridos
By singing their corridos
han matado alla en Zacatecas
They killed a Federal de Caminos
a un Federal de Caminos
There in Zacatecas
Era de verdad muy hombre
He was truly a man
al peligro desafiaba
Challenging danger
honor le hacia al uniforme
He honored his uniform
y a la escuadra que cargaba
And the squad he carried
en las cachas tenia su nombre
His name was engraved on the grips
Javier Peña se llamaba
He was called Javier Peña
Javier su deber cumplia
Javier fulfilled his duty
como poder olvidarlo
How could we forget him
cuando sonriendo decía
When he smiled and said
da tristeza al recordarlo
It's sad to remember him
que me canten los Bravos del Norte
Let the Bravos del Norte sing to me
el corrido de Gerardo
Gerardo's corrido
Recuerdo aquella mañana
I remember that morning
por cierto era Martes 13
It was indeed Tuesday the 13th
ponte el chaleco de malla
Put on the mesh vest
Javier le decia al Jefe
Javier said to the boss
mas de pronto sonó una metralla
But suddenly gunfire rang out
y a los dos les dieron muerte
And they both were killed
No les dieron tiempo a nada
They didn't have time for anything
ya sabian que era valiente
They already knew he was brave
les pusieron la emboscada
They set up the ambush
para poder darle muerte
To be able to kill him
a Javier el valor le sobraba
Javier had plenty of courage
porque era del mero Norte
Because he was from the true North
Javier su deber cumplia
Javier fulfilled his duty
como poder olvidarlo
How could we forget him
cuando sonriendo decía
When he smiled and said
da tristeza al recordarlo
It's sad to remember him
que me canten los Bravos del Norte
Let the Bravos del Norte sing to me
el Corrido de Gerardo
Gerardo's corrido
