Lyrics
Gabino Barrera no entendía razones
andando en la borrachera
cargaba pistola con seis cargadores
le daba gusto a cualquiera.
Usaba el bigote en cuadro abultado
su paño al cuello enredado
calzones de mata, chamarra de cuero
traía colteado el sombrero.
Sus pies campesinos usaban huaraches
y a veces a raiz andaba
pero le gustaba pagar los mariachis
la plata no le importaba.
Con una botella de caña en la mano
gritaba ¡Viva Zapata!
porque era ranchero el indio suriano
era hijo de buena mata.
Era alto, bien dado, muy ancho de espadas
su rostro mal encachado
su negra mirada un aire le daba
al buitre de la montañas.
Gabino Barrera dejaba mujeres
con hijos por donde quiera
por eso en los pueblos donde se paseaba
se la tenían sentenciada.
Recuero la noche que lo asesinaron
venía de ver a su amada
dieciocho descargas de Máuser sonaron
sin darle tiempo de nada.
Gabino Barrera murió como mueren
los hombres que son bragados
por una morena perdió como pierden
los gallos en los tapados.
Lyrics translation
Gabino Barrera did not understand reasons
walking on drunkenness
he was carrying a gun with six magazines.
he liked anybody.
He wore his mustache in a big picture.
his tangled neck cloth
knickers, leather jacket
he was wearing a hat.
His peasant feet wore huaraches
and sometimes to Root walked
but he liked to pay for mariachis
he didn't care about money.
With a cane bottle in hand
I was screaming, Viva Zapata!
because the Surian Indian was a rancher
he was the son of buena mata.
He was tall, well given, very broad of Swords
his face badly encased
his black look gave him an air
the Vulture of the mountains.
Gabino Barrera left women
with children everywhere
that's why in the villages where he walked
they had her sentenced.
I remember the night he was murdered.
he came to see his beloved
eighteen downloads of Mauser sounded
no time for anything.
Gabino Barrera died as they die
men who are bragged
for a brunette lost as they lose
the cocks in the covers.
