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

Me gusta pescar charales

para hecharlos de carnada
To use them as bait
en la ciudad de 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

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

me lo pide el corazón

cuando bajen de la sierra
When you come down from the mountains
no se les vaya a olvidar
