Lyrics of El Coronel - Luis Coronel

El Coronel (original)

Cuando me llego la noticia que mi padre fallecio,
empeze a jalar el cuerno como el me lo encargo,
para recordar momentos que con el pasaba yo.
Eran la seis de la manana cuando mi tio me
dijo que mataron a mi padre, yo no le habia creido
hasta que llego mi madre y dijo que no seguia vivo.
Es muy feo perder un padre y feo dejar un hijo pero
la vida es muy corta as como el siempre nos dijo,
sus ultimas palabras fueron «cudate mucho mi nio.»
Y esto es para usted jefito donde quiera que
se encuentre en mi mente siempre lo llevare, y puro coronel.
No hay manera de olvidarlo siempre estubo alli conmigo
en la buenas y en las malas desde que yo eran
un chiquillo no hay reclamos en la vida mas que matar al maldito.
A los dos les agradesco por saber como cuidarme,
no rajarmele a cualquiera es herencia de mi padre,
sigue con la frente en alto son palabras de mi madre,
el se encuentra ya en las nubes con el senor de los cielos
guarda mucho los momentos y tambien bellos recuerdos,
un saludo pa mi padre espero y pronto nos vemos.

(translation)

When I got the news that my father passed away,
I started to pull the horn as he ordered it,
to remember moments that I spent with him.
It was six o'clock in the morning when my uncle
He said that they killed my father, I had not believed him
until my mother arrived and she said that he was not still alive.
It is very ugly to lose a father and it is ugly to leave a child, but
life is very short as he always told us,
His last words were "Take good care of my child."
And this is for you little boss wherever
is in my mind I will always wear it, and pure colonel.
There's no way to forget him he was always there with me
through thick and thin since I was
a child there are no claims in life other than to kill the damned.
I thank you both for knowing how to take care of me,
not cracking anyone is an inheritance from my father,
Keep your head held high, these are the words of my mother,
he he he is already in the clouds with the lord of the skies
he keeps a lot of moments and also beautiful memories,
Greetings to my father, I hope and see you soon.
