Translation

Un día 28 de enero

One day, January 28th

Cómo me hiere esta fecha

How this date wounds me

A don Lamberto Quintero

To Mr. Lamberto Quintero

Lo seguía una camioneta

A truck was following him

Iban con rumbo al Salado

Heading towards El Salado

Nomás a dar una vuelta

Just to take a spin


Pasaron El Carrizal

They passed El Carrizal

Iban tomando cerveza

Drinking beer as they went

Su compañero le dijo

His companion said

Nos sigue una camioneta

A truck is following us

Lamberto sonriendo dijo

Lamberto, smiling, said

¿Pa' qué son las metralletas?

Why do we need machine guns?


Ya cerquita del Salado

Close to El Salado

Rugieron dos R15

Two R15s roared

Ahí dejaron un muerto

There, they left a dead man

Enemigo de Lamberto

An enemy of Lamberto

Quisiera que fuera cuento

I wish it were a tale

Pero, señores, es cierto

But, gentlemen, it's true


Un hombre fuera de serie

An extraordinary man

Alegre y enamorado

Joyful and in love

Platicando con su novia

Talking with his girlfriend

Él estaba descuidado

He was unaware

Cuando unas balas certeras

When accurate bullets

La vida le arrebataron

Took away his life


Clínica Santa María

Santa Maria Clinic

Tú vas a ser mi testigo

You will be my witness

Dos días después de su muerte

Two days after his death

Vuelven a sonar los tiros

Gunshots resound again

Ahí quedaron diez hombres

Ten men were left there

Por esos mismos motivos

For the same reasons


Puente que va a Tierra Blanca

Bridge to Tierra Blanca

Tú que lo viste pasar

You who saw him pass

Recuérdales que a Lamberto

Remind them that Lamberto

Nunca se podrá olvidar

Will never be forgotten

Que por mi parte aseguro

As for me, I assure

Que hace falta en Culiacán

Culiacán misses him
