Para vos Cabaña (cuando un amigo se va)

For you cabin
that the kids miss you

I don't understand how it happened
why you left me
leaving a big void
inside me my friend
it's been just a few hours
since I shook your hand
and now I have to be looking at you in this box
because this is unfair
God wanted you to give these fools what they wanted
and you don't know how much I would give to bring you back to life
I would search among the seas
I would climb the altars
until you see the light
like Jesus on the cross
I would forgive your sins
because many of them have paid behind bars
heaven is gathering
today I feel like I have no company
but I feel like you're the little angel guiding me
and watching my back
my guardian angel
your destiny was the street
and you are no longer in our valley
I ask you for 5 days
you left an image engraved that is missed
many knew you
and others feared you
your hair well groomed
and your gun pointing
the shine of your rings
illuminated your path
the gold that hung on you
because you earned it
and after each deed you always returned
with your head held high
with your partner
with shots and laughter
with a very good move enjoy their money
while envy thinks I want and I can't
but for that you have to know how to stand up
you always told me that no cop
would take your life
there was always a smile on your face
but with cunning
because every moment you knew what you were doing
I remember your brother receiving the news
bastard cabin has taken his own life
they finished the good moves
you have only left us
a rain of bullets
and crying on your tombstone
bringing you flowers
we only leave you a rain of tears
that at this moment are useless
today the sky receives you and smiles at us
with more crying
the guns that jam
the bangs that sounded
announcing your arrival
to your final resting place

when a friend leaves
your heart will keep
those memories in the soul
that will remain forever

when a friend leaves
your heart will keep
those memories in the soul
that will remain forever

...
shots in the air you shoot
only serve to remember that person
who is no longer with me
dear friend
I will never forget
the things we lived
and enemies we shared
and you always the same rascal
with your finger on the trigger
holding a little paper
rascal
and aiming at some resentful cop
I only ask God to find you in his arms
and that he grants you the forgiveness
that you have not achieved in this life
oh Ave Maria
religious mother of that promised land
they will not see my crying
only when the bang of my shots takes off
it's 1, 2, 3, 4
no matter the quantity
I'm going to shoot a magazine
to say goodbye to you as you leave this world
those nights of liquor that I will never forget
will remain in my memory
I raise my eyes to the sky to find you
and between tears and a joint I start to think
how can it be true that you are not here today
how your life could end so suddenly
if you knew the pain you left in my soul
not even killing all the cops would calm that pain
my sadness never ends nor does it hide
that's why I carry your name tattooed on my skin
I remember seeing you coming with your relaxed smile
and the mischievous look under your visor
here next to your grave and with a heavy heart
I remember you told me you would die as you lived and that you would be
a criminal until your last day
and now from a star you must be watching
and up there with Paco you must be taking care
may God have you in glory in your eternal rest
you flew away like an eagle towards the sky
your friends remember you for the image you left
thief kid, partner and an amazing friend

when a friend leaves
your heart will keep
those memories in the soul
that will remain forever

when a friend leaves
your heart will keep
those memories in the soul
that will remain forever
