Translation of the song lyrics Gerardo González - Ramón Ayala

Gerardo González (original)

Ya todos sabian que era pistolero
Ya todos sabian que era muy valiente
Por eso las leyes ni tiempo le dieron
Ya todos sabian que era pistolero
Ya todos sabian que era muy valiente
Por eso las leyes ni tiempo le dieron
El dia que a mansalva y cobardemente
Le dieron la muerte
En brownsville estuvo un tiempo prisionero
Y al ser sentenciado de ahi se fugo
Se vino a reinosa su pueblo querido
Gerardo gonzalez en forma cobarde
La muerte encontro
Era decidido miedo le tenian
Sus enemigos y la policia
A punta de bala lo hicieron pedazos
No pudo salvarse tenia en el cuerpo
Catorce balazos
En brownsville estuvo un tiempo prisionero
Y al ser sentenciado de ahi se fugo
Se vino a reynosa su pueblo querido
Gerardo gonzalez en forma cobarde
La muerte encontro
Vuela palomita a llevar el mensaje
Te vas dereynosa al lado americano
Les cuentas a todos que le han dado muerte
A un compañero y fiel pistolero
De chito cano

(translation)

Everyone already knew he was a gunman
Everyone already knew that he was very brave
That's why the laws didn't give him time
Everyone already knew that he was a gunman
Everyone already knew that he was very brave
That's why the laws didn't give him time
The day that calmly and cowardly
they gave him death
In brownsville he was a prisoner for a while
And when he was sentenced from there he fled
He came to kingdom of his beloved people
Gerardo gonzalez in cowardly way
death found
It was decided fear they had him
His enemies and the police
At the point of a bullet they tore him to pieces
He could not save himself he had in the body
fourteen shots
In brownsville he was a prisoner for a while
And when he was sentenced from there he fled
He came to Reynosa, his beloved town
Gerardo gonzalez in cowardly way
death found
He flies little dove to carry the message
You go from Reynosa to the American side
You tell everyone that they have killed him
To a companion and faithful gunslinger
from chito cano
