[English]

The biggest of the frogs, old man, is out there

causing a stir with everything.

Like Víctor says,

now

[music][singing]

they see their hand in ALR

patrolling, just the guys, no mistakes

sowing seeds from top

to bottom. That's how they patrol. But

zero tolerance for whoever tries it

Open them up, we don't like

failures, cap to the side and the Glock

[music] well concealed with a good

touch, laughing it off, affirmative

alert, nothing ever gets past us.

The Saint protects us if we go out [music]

to confrontations, and in time we are

at your service. We were born [music]

to die, we are always at your service and one

by one we head out on missions. [singing]

Now they see us passing, adding up the frogs

down the boulevard. [singing]

Moving fast and looking sharp [music]

you'll see the RG cruising through the capital.

In [music] a big hit, it was

proven the time of Jefe Ratón.

We take them out, we have no [music]

compassion. With a barrage of hits, we brought

the heavy load.

[music]

Ay, ay, ay.

Fidelo.

Registrada, buddy [music] Víctor.

Affirmative, buddy Fidel, old man.

Ay, ay, ay. One, two, W.

If you don't want to. No, old man. Go

all out.

I see them [music] loud and clear, the

device [singing] to the side with a good

trigger and a line of powder. Traitors

[music] and rats on short notice, we line them up,

I tie them up

and you can feel

the atmosphere getting hot. I go in front

[music] with my people. [singing]

I never like to send others

and you can feel

the atmosphere [music][singing] getting hot and

the armored car always goes in front,

spreading terror as always. [music]

Now they see us passing, adding up the frogs

down the boulevard [singing]

device in hand and the heavy gear behind and

the biggest of the [music] frogs always

leads the way

with a big hit [singing]

it was proven the time of Jefe Ratón

that we go all out, we have [music]

no compassion [singing]

with a barrage of hits, we brought

the heavy load

[singing]

[music]

and that's how it is

Víctor Valverde, old man. Let me hear

the shout. Shout! [music]

A corrido, buddy.

[Spanish]

El mayor de los ranas, viejo, anda

remagando con todo.

Como dice Víctor,

ahora

[música][canto]

se miran su [música] mano en ALR

patrullando puro camicas no más este

error sembrando de [música] arriba para

abajo. Ahí no miran patrullando. Pero

tolerancia para el que la ande

Ya las abritas que no nos gustan las

fallas, la gorra de lado y la Glockon

[música] bien eclipsada con un toque

bueno y apunta de carcajadas afirme

pendiente nunca se nos pasa nada. La

santa protege si salimos [música]

a topones y al tiempo con no estamos a

la orden. Para morir [música]

nacimos siempre estamos a la orden y uno

de lavadas y salimos a misiones. [canto]

Ya nos ven pasar sumando las ranas por

el boulevar. [canto]

Bien velicamente y bien clinos [música]

verán el rg dando por la capital.

En [música] un hoy al tentón quedó

comprobado la vez del jefe ratón.

Llevamos de fresa, no tenemos [música]

compasión. La punta de totonazo. Traamos

el boludo.

[música]

Ay, ay, ay.

Fidelo.

Registrada, compa [música] Víctor.

Y afirmativo, compa Fidel viejillo.

Ay, ay, ay. Una do W.

Si no quieres. No, viejillo. Échale

chingazo.

Los miros [música] sonones encortados el

aparato [canto] un lado con un gallo

bueno y un perico de lavados. Bandijas

[música] y ratas en corto los alineamos,

yo los amarro

y se siente

el ambiente caliente. Yo voy al frente

[música] con mi gente. [canto]

Nunca me gusta mandar gente

y se siente

el ambiente [música][canto] caliente y

el blindadón siempre va al frente sin el

terror como siempre. [música]

Ya nos ven pasar sumando los ranas por

el boulevar [canto]

y el aparato en mano y el tostón atrás y

el mayor de los [música] ranas siempre

al frente va

en un al tentón [canto]

quedó comprobado la vez del jefe ratón

que nos vamos de [música] fresa no

tenemos compasión [canto]

a punta de tostonazos traíamos el

boludón

[canto]

[música]

y así no

Víctor Valverde, viejo. Escucho fuerte

el grito. Grito. [música]

corredor, compadre.
