Translation

Ayer baje de la sierra

Yesterday I came down from the mountains

ya me estaban esperando

They were already waiting for me

eran cien hombres de verde

There were a hundred men in green

tenian el paso bloqueado

They had the passage blocked

pero se llevaron plancha

But they were surprised

por que yo venia volando

Because I was coming flying


Al barrio de Tierra Blanca

To Tierra Blanca's neighborhood

muy cerquita del infierno

Very close to hell

voy a ver a mi chorreada

I'm going to see my sweetheart

a escondidas del gobierno

Secretly from the government

tengo pendientes tan grandes

I have such big debts

que hay noches que ya ni duermo

That there are nights I don't even sleep


No se apunten zopilotes

Don't mark yourselves, vultures

que todavia no me he muerto

Because I'm not dead yet

es que me puse perfume

It's just that I put on perfume

y ustedes piensan que apesto

And you think I stink

si deberas me traen ganas

If you really want me

por que no arriesgan el resto

Why not risk the rest


Me gusta pescar charales

I like to fish for charales

para hecharlos de carnada

To use them as bait

en la ciudad de Nogales

In the city of Nogales

me tiraron por la espalda

They shot me in the back

si me quieren rematar

If you want to finish me off

los espero en Ensenada

I'll be waiting in Ensenada


No es que me gusten las broncas

It's not that I like trouble

pero aprecio la emoción

But I appreciate the thrill

que se arranquen con la banda

That they take off with the band

el palo verde en acción

The green stick in action

después voy para las Pintas

Then I'm going to Las Pintas

me lo pide el corazón

My heart asks for it


Bonitas las Olas Altas

Beautiful, the High Waves

y de eso no hay que dudar

And there's no doubt about it

si quieren gozar la vida

If you want to enjoy life

acerquence a Mazatlan

Come closer to Mazatlan

cuando bajen de la sierra

When you come down from the mountains

no se les vaya a olvidar

Don't forget
