Los Padres Lyrics in English Tommy Guerrero
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Los Padres by Tommy Guerrero from Spanish to English.
Por esta esquina yo le dije a mi chatita
By this corner I told my little girl
Que si me amaba que me diera su retrato
That if she loved me, she should give me her picture
Ella me dijo para que si te amo tanto
She said to me, why, if I love you so much
Solo la muerte hoy nos puede separar
Only death today can separate us
Nos abrazamos al llegar a los portales
We hugged when we arrived at the portals
Y en ese instante se escucharon 3 balazos
And at that moment, 3 gunshots were heard
Sus familiares la mataron en mis brazos
Her relatives killed her in my arms
Porque juraron nuestro amor desbaratar
Because they swore to ruin our love
Como de rayo conteste con mi pistola
Like lightning, I replied with my gun
Matando cuatro y al cuñado de mi novia
Killing four and my girlfriend's brother-in-law
Cuando llegaron policías de la montada
When mounted police arrived
Ni echando bala me pudieron desarmar
Not even shooting could disarm me
Cuando a la buena presente declaraciones
When I voluntarily gave statements
Me preguntaron cuantas armas yo portaba
They asked me how many weapons I was carrying
Les conteste que nada más reglamentaria
I told them only the ones allowed
Dos cinturones con diez y ocho cargadores
Two belts with eighteen magazines
Me preguntaron ¿Cuales son tus credenciales?
They asked me, what are your credentials?
Ocupaciones y mi nombre verdadero
Occupations and my real name
Llevo por nombre y apellido Juan Guerrero
My name and surname are Juan Guerrero
Soy delegado de la Unión de Aserraderos
I am a delegate of the Sawmills Union
Comisionado de la Agraria Campesina
Commissioner of the Agrarian Peasant
Llevo expropiadas cuatro haciendas gachuipinas
I have expropriated four gachuipinas estates
Me preguntaron ¿Cuántas veces has matado?
They asked me, how many times have you killed?
Y yo les dije cuantas veces me han buscado
And I told them as many times as they have come for me
Me dieron libre por legitima defensa
They set me free for self-defense
Y a mi pistola la respetan por influencias
And they respect my gun due to influences
Este corrido de un amor tan verdadero
This corrido of such true love
Es de un amigo que se llama Juan Guerrero
Is about a friend named Juan Guerrero
