La banda del carro rojo [English translation]

They say they came from the South in a red car

they brought a hundred kilos of cocaine going to Chicago

so said the snitch who had denounced them;

They had already passed customs, the one in El Paso, Texas

but in mere San Antonio they were waiting for him

it was the Texas rangers that command the county.

A siren wailed, an immigrant was screaming

they stopped the car to be searched

and not to resist, because if they didn't kill them.

An M-16 emerged when the air was roaring

the headlight of a patrol was seen flying through the air

That is how that combat began, where that massacre was.

Lino Quintana said - this had to happen

my partners have died they will not be able to declare

and I'm sorry Sheriff, because I don't know how to sing!

Of the seven who died, only the crosses remained

four were from the red car, the other three from the government

Don't worry about them, they will go with Lino to hell.

They say they were from the Candil, others that were from the Altar

so far there say many who came from the Parral

the truth was never known, nobody went to claim them
