[English]

And here it goes, San Antonio del

[Music]

Mezquite, on the day of

Sanas, with great pleasure I

[Music]

say, in the year of

1943, a very appreciated man was born

apreciado

Many times I was the

first one to fall, but despite the

stumbles, I'll get out of here, they say I'm

the worst, that I was happy and it wasn't like that

I struggled quite a bit to get to where

I am, in a tough spot, through Sonora I

navigated, they'll always see me patrolling with the

tactical vest on, and the radios are bound to

vibrate, carrying Versaces and a lighter

to light a red Marlboro, just to blow some smoke

And in Mazatlán, at the boardwalk

to stroll, we're pulling through, and for

her, I like to always carry myself with respect

Treat the young man right

Diamonds on the chest, letting the

humility show, and rolling deep with the crew

And that's how we are, we're here and we're not

leaving, Sonora is on top

A good friend to the people who lent me a

hand, making money, big bills, and the

plated gun; there's no fear here, least of all

with the boys I have by my side, it's a

parade of armored cars

passing by, they say I'm the worst, that I was

happy

I struggled quite a bit to get to where I am

[Music]

Through the streets, always with

respect, diamonds on the chest, let the

la

[Music]

humility show

[Music]

Oh

[Spanish]

y ahí le va San Antonio del

[Música]

mezquite el día de

sanas con mucho gusto lo

digo año de

1900 43 ha nacido un hombre muy

apreciado

inent muchas veces el

primero que me caí pero a pesar de los

tropiezos yo saldré de aquí de m que soy

lo peor que fui feliz y no fue así le

batallé bastante para llegar a donde

estoy en una dura por Sonora me

navegó siempre me verán patrullar con la

pechera bien colgado y los vibros la han

de vibrar portando versas y un gallo

para quemar un Malboro de los rojos no

más para tronar y haan masatlan en el

mal comp pasear no jalamo p yarta por

ella me gusta andar siempre con respeto

al chavalón la han de tratar Los

Brillantes en el pecho y que se note la

humildad y bien jalados con patit

y así copata que estamos y no nos

vamos arriba Sonora vi

as buen amigo de la gente que me dio la

mano haciendo feria buen billete y El

Fierro terciado Aquí no hay miedo menos
