Me gustó vivir la vida 00:02
00:07
Me gustó vivir la vida 00:35
Siempre supe que había riesgos, y los acepté, pues ¿qué otra opción tenía? 00:38
Nunca me gustó la escuela 00:44
Y traía un chingo de sueños, empezando por formar una familia 00:47
Alegre y enamorado 00:53
Por todo mundo apreciado, no tenía enemigos ni los conocía 00:56
Sí, tal vez se equivocaron 01:02
Pero demasiado tarde comprobaron que tenía puntería 01:05
Siempre fui muy respetado por la gente que traté 01:10
Pueblos que patrullé, todos me conocían 01:15
Y por los ranchos del Dorado 01:19
Especialmente el Chalino, donde fue el inicio y también despedida 01:22
Creo que nadie lo esperaba 01:27
Tanto que anduve chambeando, pa que me atoraran cuando apenas iba 01:30
Y perdón pa todo el rancho 01:36
Si los hizo madrugar aquella tracatera que machín se oía 01:39
01:46
Ay, viejo 02:02
Un gusto morir peleando 02:14
Siempre dejé recalcado que no iba a dejarme si por mí venían 02:16
Fui yo solo contra varios 02:22
Si hubiera llevado un largo, fuera diferente lo que contaría 02:25
Me tocó perderla solo 02:30
Andaba franco y, ni modo, no alcancé a llegar al trabajo ese día 02:33
Porque el paso me cerraron 02:39
Y los vidrios empañados no dejaron ver de dónde me salían 02:42
Perdón para la familia por causar un gran dolor 02:48
También a mi princesa, que tanto quería 02:52
Estoy con mis padres y hermanos 02:56
La verdad los extrañaba y vine de pasada a dar una visita 02:58
Recuérdenme siempre alegre y, aunque ya no esté presente 03:04
Desde acá voy a cuidar a la familia 03:09
De Culiacán al Dorado 03:13
Varios apodos sonaron, pero me gustó "Raúl, el policía" 03:16
Ahí le va, su compa Raúl Beltrán 03:39
03:43

[English]
I loved living life
...
I loved living life
I always knew there were risks, and I accepted them, because what other choice did I have?
I never liked school
And I had a ton of dreams, starting with building a family
Happy and in love
Appreciated by everyone, I had no enemies, nor did I know any
Yes, maybe they were wrong
But they realized too late that I had aim
I was always respected by the people I dealt with
The towns I patrolled, everyone knew me
And in the ranches of El Dorado
Especially El Chalino, where it all began and also ended
I don’t think anyone expected it
After all the work I did, for them to catch me when I had just started
And apologies to the whole ranch
If that shootout woke you up early, it was loud as hell
...
Ah, old man
It’s an honor to die fighting
I always made it clear I wouldn’t back down if they came for me
It was just me against many
If I’d had backup, the story would’ve been different
I had to face it alone
I was off duty, no choice, I didn’t make it to work that day
Because they blocked my path
And the fogged-up windows didn’t let me see where they were coming from
Apologies to my family for causing so much pain
And to my princess, whom I loved so much
I’m with my parents and siblings now
The truth is, I missed them, and I stopped by to visit
Remember me always happy, and even though I’m not here
From here, I’ll watch over the family
From Culiacán to El Dorado
Many nicknames came up, but I liked "Raúl, the cop"
Here you go, your buddy Raúl Beltrán
