Lamberto Quintero

To Don Lamberto Quintero
A truck follows him
He was heading to El Salado
Just to take a stroll

They passed El Carrizal
Drinking beer
His companion said to him
A truck is following us
Lamberto smiling said
Why do we need machine guns?

Close to El Salado
Two R-15s roared
There they left a dead man
An enemy of Lamberto
They wish it was a tale
But gentlemen, it's true

An outstanding man
Joyful and in love
Talking with his girlfriend
He was careless
When precise weapons
Took his life away

Santa Maria Clinic
You will be my witness
Two days after his death
Gunshots are heard again
Ten men died there
For the same reasons

Bridge to Tierra Blanca
You who saw him pass by
Remind them that Lamberto
Will never be forgotten
I assure you
That Culiacán misses him
