[English]

[Music]

I've worked hard to get what I

want, and I've tried many times to

be the first one dancing for her; it's better

to save yourself when they come for me, but despite

everything, I think of God, the king they talk about

saying I'm the worst, that I was happy when I wasn't

the case; the battle was quite something to get to

where I am, and in an hour through Sonora, I'm

cruising; they will always see me

with my vest hanging well and the books,

vibrating, carrying verses, a rooster

to burn bad gold, not just the red ones

to make it blow

going for a stroll, we headed to Vallarta

because of her, I like to always walk with

respect; the young man is treated by

the elegant ones, with diamonds on the chest,

letting the humility show

well-dressed with Patito, and that's

how Nata is, it's good, let's go

and up with Sonora, old lady!

[Music]

Well, friend of the people who gave me a

hand, making money, good cash, and the

iron is ready; there's no fear here, especially

not with the babies I have by my side, it's a

parade of armored vehicles

passing by

It was quite a journey to get to where

I am, and through Sonora, I cruise in an hour

and hit Mazatlán, not on the boardwalk,

we headed to Vallarta because

over there I like to always walk with respect;

the young man is seen by

the brilliant ones, with diamonds on the chest,

letting the humility show

[Música]

he trabajado duro pa obtener lo que yo

quiero y lo intentado muchas veces para

ser el primero que le perrea de mejor

sálvese que me caen pero a pesar del

otro pienso Dios al rey que tiran de mí

que soy lo peor que fui feliz y no fue

así la batalla es bastante para llegar a

donde estoy en una hora por Sonora me

navegó siempre me verán

con la pechera bien colgado y los libros

las de vibrar portando versas un gallo

para quemar un mal oro de los rojos no

más para tronar

en el pasear no jalamos para Vallarta

por ella me gusta andar siempre con

respeto al chavalón lo han de tratar los

elegantes en el pecho y que se note la

humildad

muy bien calados con Patito y así es

como Nata es que está bueno vamos

y arriba Sonora vieja

[Música]

Bueno amigo de la gente que me dio la

mano haciendo feria buen billete y El

Fierro terciado Aquí no hay miedo menos

los bebés que traigo al lado es un

desfile de blindadas las que andan

pasando

a llevar bastante para llegar a donde

estoy y por Sonora en una dura me navegó

y hace el Mazatlán no en el malecón

pasear nos jalamos para Vallarta por

allá me gusta andar siempre con respeto

al chava no lo han de mirar lo

brillantes en el pecho que se note la

humildad
