La Vida Mafiosa

Sentado en una hielera

Sitting on a cooler

y escuchando un corrido

and listening to a corrido

le jale a un cuerno de chivo

I pulled on a chivo horn

rodeado por mis amigos

surrounded by my friends

por los versos recordaba

through the verses, I recalled

todo lo que en vida he sido.

everything I've been in life.

Se me calento el terreno

The terrain heated up for me

me buscaban por mafioso

they were looking for me as a mafioso

me achacaban varias muertes

they attributed several deaths to me

por la prensa publicaron

they published in the press

y como si fuera poco

and as if that weren't enough

hasta rifles me achacaron.

they even attributed rifles to me.

Me pierdo por temporadas

I get lost for periods

cuando no hay que dar la cara

when there's no need to show my face

me oscurece y me a manece

it darkens and manipulates me

si se trata de una chamba

if it's about a job

yo no tengo quien me empuje

I don't have anyone to push me

solito me aviento al agua.

I throw myself into the water alone.

Me gusta escuchar consejos

I like to hear advice

pero no me manden nada

but don't send me anything

cuando algo me sale mal

when something goes wrong for me

a mi nadie me regaña

nobody scolds me

me paseo por donde quiera

I stroll wherever I want

con damas y camaradas.

with ladies and comrades.
