Lyrics of Gabino Barrera - Pepe Aguilar

Gabino Barrera (original)

Gabino barrera no entendía razones
Andando en la borrachera
Usaba pistolas con seis cargadores
Le daba gusto a cualquiera
Usaba el bigote en cuadro abulta’o
Su paño al cuello enredado
Calzones de manta
Chamarra de cuero
Traiba punteado el sombrero
Sus pies campesinos usaban huaraches
Y a veces a raiz andaba
Pero le cuadraba
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 y bien dado
Muy ancho de espaldas
Su rostro mal encacha’o…
Su negra mirada un aire le daba
Al buitre de las montañas
Gabino barrera dejaba
Mujeres con hijos por 'onde quiera
Por eso en los pueblos
Donde se paseaba
Se la tenían sentenciada
Recuerdo la noche que lo asesinaron
Venía de ver a su amada
Dieciocho descargas
De mausser sonaron
Sin darle tiempo de nada
Gabino barrera murió como mueren
Los hombre que son braga’os
Por una morena murió como mueren
Los gallos en los tapados

(translation)

Gabino Barrier did not understand reasons
walking drunk
He used pistols with six magazines
He liked anyone
He used the mustache in a bulky box
His cloth to the tangled neck
blanket breeches
Leather jacket
He had a dotted hat
His peasant feet wore huaraches
And sometimes at the root he walked
But he suited her
pay the mariachis
The money didn't matter to him
With a bottle of cane in hand
He shouted "long live shoe"
Because he was a rancher
The South Indian
He was the son of a good kill
He was tall and well given
Very broad shoulders
His face badly fit'o...
Her black look at him gave him an air
To the vulture of the mountains
Gabino barrier left
Women with children wherever he wants
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 mausser sounded
Without giving him time for anything
Gabino Barrier died as they die
The men who are panties
For a brunette he died as they die
The roosters in the coats
