[English]
Sir, you're confusing me
I'm not the one you're looking for
Show me your credentials
Please, if you don't mind
And don't ask a single question
Tell me, what am I accused of?
Why are you surrounding me?
As if I were a criminal
Just forget the beataround and get to the point
We know you have people
Don't act innocent
Why do you come so confident?
And how did you find me?
Let's just say someone put you up to it
To show you that in this game
Not everyone is your friend
You also have enemies
To some, I'm innocent
To you, a delinquent
Yes, sir, I do have people
They're close and alert
They know I'm getting fed up
If I'm the one you're looking for
Tell me, what do we do?
Do we fight or make peace?
Or what do you think, lieutenant?
I have a good proposal
Come on, tell me, lieutenant
If you give me the addresses of all your offices
Where you operate with your crew
I'll let you go free on the spot
You're mistaken; don't even think about it
I have a better offer
I'll give you ninety grand
Let me know if you spend it, take it, or leave it
And this will be my last offer
I'm going to accept the proposal
To avoid problems
So there's no bloodshed
Best not to light the fuse
I ask you to be discreet
And I've never seen them
Today, I'll be good to you
But take it easy
My friend, I slipped up.
