Translation

Mingo compro unas parcelas

Mingo bought some plots

De un ranchito abandonado

From an abandoned little ranch

Con una matitas verdes

With little green plants

Que no se comía el ganado

That the cattle wouldn't eat

Pero no se daba cuenta

But he didn't realize

Que alguien lo había traicionado

That someone had betrayed him


Una avioneta volaba

An airplane was flying

Sobre el cañón de la rosa

Over the canyon of the rose

Era un vuelo de rutina

It was a routine flight

De ver como anda la cosa

To see how things were going

Desde el cielo divisaron

From the sky, they spotted

Las parcelas de Mendoza

Mendoza's plots


Dicen que ya era muy tarde

They say it was already too late

Cuando la siembra miraron

When they saw the planting

Por eso inmediatamente

So immediately

A aptzingan regresaron

They returned to Apatzingán

Y un helicóptero verde

And a green helicopter

Otro día les mandaron

They sent another day


La policía federal

The federal police

Al ver solas las parcelas

Seeing the plots alone

Cerraron todos los puentes

Closed all the bridges

Caminos y carretearas

Roads and highways

Cortaron todas las luces

Cut off all the lights

El pueblo quedo en tinieblas

The town was in darkness


Las torturas en tu cuerpo

The tortures on your body

Nunca jamás se te olvidan

You never forget

La tabla el agua y la pila

The board, the water, and the battery

Son de las más conocidas

Are among the most well-known

Chile en polvo y minerales

Chili powder and minerals

Se me escapaba la vida

Life was slipping away from me


La confianza mata al hombre

Trust kills a man

Dice un refrán muy sincero

Says a very sincere saying

Por eso Mingo Mendoza

That's why Mingo Mendoza

Un tiempo fue prisionero

Was a prisoner for a while

No reviso las parcelas

He didn't check the plots

Cuando compro esos terrenos

When he bought those lands
