[English]
From Culiacán, Sinaloa with my buddy Edgardo
Of the original corridos
Let's go, buddy Jesus and only Fuerza Regida
Let's go hard then
Get going then, old man
Not everything came easy to me, I suffered a lot too
Walking barefoot through the streets, my feet burn
I prayed to my Saint Jude while I endured the hunger
...
I come from a poor family, someone had to look for a way
My dream was clear and, yes, the goals ahead
I turned the coin around, I wanted big bills
...
Thank you for the teachings, Don Roque, I'm on the lookout
You know that I don't give up, we will continue forward
Several years have passed and I no longer suffer from hunger
And it was to change
Call after call arriving on the cell phone
Now it's my turn, I'm not turning back
Wearing the Guzmán Salazar cap
Just like that, buddy Jesus
...
In the game there are many tricks, one has to study it
No matter how many friends you have, they won't teach you the key
They don't want to see you up and they want to leave you down
...
Looking so much for life has taken something important from me
That night is not forgotten, how much I suffered
The blows in the Tahoe
May my brother rest in peace
And it was to change
Call after call arriving on the cell phone
Now it's my turn, I'm not turning back
Wearing the Guzmán Salazar cap
...
Just like that, my buddy Jesus
And only Fuerza Regida, old man
For sure, old man
And long live the street mafia
Long live Culiacán, Sinaloa, relative
Just listen
...
