[English]

They ran around like it was chaos and still couldn’t keep up with my pace

What happened? What hurt you?

I just watch them there with their little backpacks—what fucking idiots they are

...

I’ve been in this since I was a kid, and I’m still here—I’m no rookie

I command attention, and I’m the talker

Spread wide like the legs of that old woman who gave it to me a while back

...

They’ve already seen there’s a boss at the border

And from here to there, I move on my own, relying on my own balls

They took my brother away, I remember it clearly

But that’s all—either way, I’ve got what it takes to handle them

My man Luis

Oh, mama

And go for it, pal Tito Double P

Bang! Son of a fucking bitch!

...

They search for me but can’t find me—name, photo, any ID

From here to there, from there to here

They don’t even see my dust, and this crazy one gives them enough to take away

...

A little touch, a quick jerk, then a girl, and before long you’re screwed

And one hell of a corrido

We pull in the whole crowd, rolling with a huge crew

...

They’ve already seen there’s a boss at the border

And from here to there, I move on my own, relying on my own balls

They took my brother away, I remember it clearly

But that’s all—either way, I’ve got what it takes to handle them

...

[Spanish]

Corrieron como mitote y ni así me aguantan el trote

¿Qué pasó? ¿Qué les dolió?

Ahí nomás los miro con sus morralitos, pinches pendejos que son

Le brinqué desde chavalo y aquí sigo, no está pelado

Doy la atención, y el hablador

Ábrase como las piernas de la vieja que hace rato me las dio

Que ya miraron que en la frontera hay un dueño

Y de aquí p'allá me muevo yo solo con mis dos huevos

A mi carnal se lo llevaron, aquí lo recuerdo

Pero no hay más, al cabos ahí tengo con qué quererlos

Compa Luis

Ay, mamá

Y échele, compa Tito Double P

¡Tracas, hijo'e su puta madre!

Me buscan y no me encuentran, nombre, foto, santo y seña

De aquí p'allá, de allá p'acá

No me ven ni el polvo y este loco les da hasta para llevar

Un toquecito y un pajuelazo, y una chavala, y al rato te guacho

Y un corridón que esté perrón

La greña se jala toda la plebada, cargamos un equipón

Que ya miraron que en la frontera hay un dueño

Y de aquí p'allá me muevo yo solo con mis dos huevos

A mi carnal se lo llevaron, aquí lo recuerdo

Pero no hay más, al cabos ahí tengo con qué quererlos
