Los Fabulosos Cadillacs - Manuel Santillan El Leon
El leon esta escondido en el callejon
sabe bien lo que le va a pasar
entonces saca su revolver y va a disparar
la policia lo rodea sin tregua
lo buscan por ajuste de cuentas
y ese sargento que sin vacilar
abre fuego y le da
Lo curioso es que antes de morir
el leon Santillan pronuncio palabras
ante los oficiales que desconcertados miraban
y les dijo:
Queridos enemigos de siempre,
dejo este mundo de dolor
nunca se olviden
que ya toda la gente va hacia el mar
Coro: Van al mar, van al mar
llanto, dolor, sufrimiento Los Fabulosos Cadillacs - Manuel Santillan El Leon - http://motolyrics.com/los-fabulosos-cadillacs/manuel-santillan-el-leon-lyrics-english-translation.html
de un pueblo se ahoga en el mar
Lo dijo el leon, Manuel Santillan
lo dijo el leon, viejo peleador de San Telmo
lo dijo el leon, Manuel Santillan el leon
lo dijo el leon...
Los oficiales que vieron morir a Santillan
abandonaron la institucion
nunca mas se supo de ellos,
del caso no se hablo mas
sin embargo por el viejo San Telmo
en un sucio bodegon
dicen que un borracho
murmuro llorando las palabras que eran del leon
y cuales eran ,Manuel
Coro...
Los Fabulosos Cadillacs - Manuel Santillán, The Lion (English translation)
The lion is hiding in the alley
and he knows well what is going to happen to him
Then he takes out his revolver
and he's going to shoot
The police surround him relentlessly
they're looking to settle the score
and it's the sergeant who, without hesitating,
opens fire and hits him
The strange thing is that, before dying,
the lion Santillán pronounced words
before the officials
who were looking at him, disconcerted
and he said:
"Dear eternal enemies,
today I leave this world of pain.
Never forget
that the people's flood of tears
goes toward the sea
"They go to the sea, they go to the seaLos Fabulosos Cadillacs - Manuel Santillan El Leon - http://motolyrics.com/los-fabulosos-cadillacs/manuel-santillan-el-leon-lyrics-english-translation.html
the flood of tears, the pain
The suffering of a pueblo
drowns in the sea"
said the lion.
The officials who saw
Santillán die
abandoned the institution
Nothing else was ever known about them
No one spoke of the event anymore
but still,
around the old San Telmo
in a dirty tavern
they say that a drunk
murmured, crying, the words
that were the lion's.
"They go to the sea, they go to the sea
the flood of tears, the pain
The suffering of a pueblo
drowns in the sea"
said the lion.
