Lyrics of Cara A La Muerte - Gerardo Ortiz

Cara A La Muerte (original)

Cara a la muerte cuando llegaron las balas
No era advertencia, ni coincidencia
Era la muerte en mi cara
Tiempo que es vida, y blanco a la mira
Asesinato, me tenían rodeado
En mi mente, mi familia
En minutos repasé mi vida
Puse fuerza en mi cabeza
Subí tiro a mi cuarenta
Les dí pelea
Era esperado que me arrimaran un golpe
Cuando hay errores hay correcciones
Y les fallé a los señores
Hice negocios con los contrarios
Un chapulín nunca eleva sus
Consecuencias que atormentan
Hay errores que nunca se arreglan
Si la muerte comprendiera
Y si el momento cambiara la escena
Que me coma la tierra
Con la puerta paraba las balas
El impacto dio una alta descarga
No hubo tiempo de hacer el intento
Sin piedad perforaban mi cuerpo
Con mis manos tapaba mis sesos
Y la sangre corría entre mi cuerpo
Ya lo rojo en lo blanco vestía
Era la despedida
No tenia salida
Todo era blanco, agonizaba en mi llanto
Solo minutos, se aproximaban
Venia el eterno descanso
Muerte en la escena, luz de sirenas
Los agresores tomaron vereda
En segundos tocaba mi vida
Y el espacio quedo en mi familia
Solo balas y un hombre tirado
Y en su cara un llanto empapado
Era el afectado
Flores y llanto, y cantidad de rosarios
Buenos amigos, hijos queridos
Ya les fallé en el camino
Cuerpo manchado, entrajesado
Caja de plata y un hombre encamado
Quisiera escapar de mi cuerpo
Renacer, tener vida de nuevo
Con dolor no descansa mi alma
Solo queda perder la esperanza
Dentro de mi caja

(translation)

Face to death when the bullets came
It was not a warning, nor a coincidence
It was death on my face
Time that is life, and white in sight
Murder, they had me surrounded
In my mind, my family
In minutes I reviewed my life
I put strength in my head
I went up shot at my forty
I gave them a fight
It was expected that they would hit me
When there are mistakes there are corrections
And I failed the lords
I did business with the opposites
A chapulin never raises its
Consequences that haunt
There are mistakes that are never fixed
If death understood
And if the moment changed the scene
let the earth eat me
With the door he stopped the bullets
The impact gave a high discharge
There was no time to make the attempt
They mercilessly pierced my body
With my hands I covered my brains
And the blood ran through my body
Already the red in the white wore
it was goodbye
I had no way out
Everything was white, I was dying in my tears
Only minutes, they were approaching
came the eternal rest
Death on the scene, light of sirens
The aggressors took the path
In seconds it touched my life
And the space remains in my family
Just bullets and a man down
And on his face a soaked cry
He was affected
Flowers and tears, and a number of rosaries
Good friends, dear children
I already failed them on the way
Body stained, dressed
Silver box and a bedridden man
I would like to escape from my body
to be reborn, to have life again
My soul does not rest with pain
It only remains to lose hope
inside my box
