En Phoenix ruleteamos
In Phoenix we roulette
De morro fui aventando
From the nose I was throwing
En las calles el terrible
In the streets the terrible
Me verán circulando
They will see me circulating
De mi familia, oveja negra
From my family, black sheep
Nunca me gustó la escuela
I never liked school
Preferí menear los gramos
I preferred to shake the grams
Paseando en mi ranflita
Walking in my little frog
Con los ojos tumbados
With downcast eyes
En putiza por el barrio
In a whore around the neighborhood
Y una morra por un lado
And a bitch on the one hand
Meneando botones azules
Shaking blue buttons
Respirando polvo blanco
Breathing white dust
Una Rogelia pa bajarlo
A Rogelia to lower it
Por la calle seis siete
On the street six seven
Apesta, huele a quemado
It stinks, it smells like burning
No se espanten, no asusten
Don't be scared, don't be scared
Es que llanta va quemando
It's just that the tire is burning
Y pa' los lacras y envidiosos
And for the scourges and envious people
Trae un fierrito fajado
Bring a bundle of iron
El terrible le apodaron
The terrible one they nicknamed him
Pa' toda mi gente de Caborca, Sonora
For all my people from Caborca, Sonora
Pa' todos los primos de Altar, de Santa Ana
For all the cousins of Altar, of Santa Ana
Arriba la navaja viejo
Up the old knife
Puro esperanto
Pure Esperanto
Sus gustos y placeres
Your tastes and pleasures
Estar con buenas mujeres
be with good women
Gastando paquita verde
Spending green money
Y un norteño lo apasiona
And a northerner is passionate about it
Tocando el acordeón
playing the accordion
Pisando suela roja
Stepping on red sole
Fumando un cigarro de hoja
Smoking a leaf cigar
Escuchando los de arsenal
Listening to those from arsenal
Efectivo su negocio
Cash your business
Ando siempre al chingazo
I always go to hell
Siempre atento, ando de todo
Always attentive, I'm in everything
Con mi abuela y mi 'amá
With my grandmother and my 'amá
Mis hermanos estoy firme
My brothers I am firm
Ya saben que yo le atoro
They already know that I stuck him
Ya llevo tiempo guardado
I've been saving time
No me doblo, no me parto
I don't bend, I don't break
Voy a salirles con todo
I'm going to go out with everything
Que se abran los candados
Let the locks open
Por las calles de Caborca
Through the streets of Caborca
Y allá en La Finiquera
And there in La Finiquera
Seguiré haciendo mandados
I will continue doing errands
El terrible le apodaron
The terrible one they nicknamed him
