El ayudante de Lino

Path of life
that you go down curving hills
I have been taken from your land
at gunpoint
where I was planting
the most toasted harvest

governments fly they can
we, well, we walk
but if they come down a little
we wait for them on the ground
when we are even
here we take our chances

the man wasn't bad
nor his helper either
hunger is a bad advisor
we must keep that in mind
they forget good customs
with arrogant governments

I was looking for a better rank
just like in the parties
there you win by shouting
here you win with shots
that's why looking for money
I came to plant with Lino

the sea is a gulp of water
if you're risking your skin
that's why I go down to the valleys
to stroll with money
with music and women
to forget this hell

I leave you this ballad
friends over there in Caborca
because friend, I ask God
God squeezes but doesn't hang
and water those cornfields well
so the corn grows
