Translation of the song lyrics Juan Ramos - El Fantasma, Los Populares Del Llano

Juan Ramos (original)

Jefe de nuevo laredo ke
Pronto se te olvido ke
Andavamos de pateros
Ase tiempo usted y yo
Ganandonos el dinero
Traicionando a la nacion
Hoi por ke trae uniforme
Y trae la ley en sus manos
Se olbida ke yo fui
El hombre ke una ves
Le dio la mano cuando
En la lancha en ke andaba
Se volco ii se andaba ahogando
No me recuerdes pasados
Y ya tengo mucho dinero
Ni me importa el contrabando
Ahora tengo mui buen puesto
Te iba a llebar prisionero
Pero te prefiero muerto
Sabe ke estoi desarmado
De eso no tenga pendiente
Con morirme abia soñado en
Las manos de un teniente
Y ke ganara otro grado
Pa' lucirlo ante su gente
A su pistola echo mano matandolo
A sangre fria cayo bien muerto
Juan ramos y en su rostro
Se beia como ke se estaba riendo
De lo ke el nunca creia
Despues ke ya lo mato se kedo
Mui pensatibo y se apunto
Al corazon tambien pegandose
Un tiro para ke kiero la vida
Si ehh matado a un gran amigo

Juan Ramos (translation)

chief of new laredo ke
You soon forgot that
let's walk as pateros
Take time you and me
Earning the money
betraying the nation
Hoi por ke brings uniform
And brings the law in his hands
He forgets that I was
The man you once saw
He shook hands when
In the boat in which he rode
He capsized and was drowning
Don't remind me of the past
And I already have a lot of money
I don't care about contraband
Now I have a very good position
He was going to take you prisoner
But I prefer you dead
You know I'm unarmed
Don't be aware of that
I had dreamed of dying in
The hands of a lieutenant
And ke will earn another grade
To show it off to his people
I reach for his gun, killing him
In cold blood he fell dead
Juan Ramos and on his face
He laughed like he was laughing
Of what he never believed
After I already killed him, he stayed
Very thoughtful and signed up
To the heart also sticking
A shot for I want life
Yes ehh killed a great friend
