Upon hearing the corrido, let calm not be lost

I have the honor of singing you the verses with the guitars

To a big man of respect that doesn't beat around the bush

So many years working with much effort and dedication

Things haven't been easy, but don't think that I break

We gotta push forward, everything comes in its time

My nickname, I am El Cabe, I stand by it anywhere

Good friend and helpful, that's hard for many

They know that I'm a man of my word, I've shown it with deeds

I know that there are people that envy me, also many gossipers

Get sharp, b*stards, because I find out about everything

I don't want you crying when I have you by the neck

There are several agencies that are looking for me

Soldiers and federales, also high command

But I won't give them the pleasure, they'll never catch me

Regards to my compadre, Félix Jáuregui, at your service

You know that I'm a man of my word and that I like the disorder

But in my priorities I'm always alert

I'm leaving now, I'm saying goodbye, I'm heading out

Regards to my family and my parents that I love so much

A hug for my kids, the most sacred thing that I have

mitoteros — gossips / troublemakers

Mitoteros is a colorful and less common word that refers to people who spread gossip or cause trouble. It's more specific and evocative than a general term for 'gossips'.

In the context of this corrido, the singer warns, "Sé que hay gente que me envidia, también muchos mitoteros" (I know there are people who envy me, also many troublemakers). This word adds a layer of authenticity and regional flavor to the lyrics, painting a vivid picture of the challenges and adversaries the protagonist faces.

“El Corrido del Cabe” introduces us to El Cabe – a fearless, sharp-witted figure who has earned his reputation through years of relentless work and unbreakable loyalty. Singing proudly over lively guitars, he tells listeners that success did not come easy, yet he never cracked under pressure. El Cabe stands by his word, helps his friends, and keeps a watchful eye on envious rivals and nosy authorities who try, and fail, to catch him.

Beneath the bravado lies a man who values what truly matters: camaraderie, respect, and family. Between playful warnings to his enemies, he sends heartfelt shout-outs to his parents, children, and his trusted compadre Félix. The corrido becomes a celebration of resilience and honor, painting El Cabe as both a daring outlaw and a devoted family man—a classic Mexican folk hero brought to life by Ariel Camacho’s signature vocals and guitar.
