Me llovió cuando me trajeron
It rained on me when they brought me
Corría sangre por mi cuerpo
Blood ran from my body
Mi compañero tendido
My partner lay stretched out
Lo dejaron en el suelo
They left him on the ground
Cerraron toda la ciudad
They shut down the whole city
A mí me dieron por muerto
They left me for dead
La camioneta como coladera
The truck like a colander
Hoyos en los vidrios sangre en los asientos
Holes in the windows, blood on the seats
Pero yo seguía con vida
But I was still alive
Fallaron su cobarde intento
They failed their cowardly attempt
El final de mi paciencia
The end of my patience
Y el principio del infierno
And the beginning of hell
El vuelo de las avionetas
The flight of the small planes
De la gente el desconcierto
The people's bewilderment
Unos rodeaban las calles
Some surrounded the streets
Otros las desalojaban
Others were evacuating them
Mi proteccion es primero
My protection comes first
Así como lo es mi raza
Just like my crew is
Así decía mi compadrito
So said my compadre
Cuando su gente ordenaba
When his crew ordered
Que movilizaran todo
To mobilize everything
Y no descuidaran nada
And not neglect anything
La plaza se calentó
The territory heated up
Se les apareció el diablo
The devil appeared to them
Y en conjunto con la muerte
And together with death
Manotean los contrarios
The rivals flail about
No hayan ni donde meterse
They don't even know where to hide
Pero ya están sentenciados
But they're already sentenced
Traen la cola envuelta entre las patas
They have their tails between their legs
No bailaron a cualquier asalariado
They didn't mess with just any hired hand
Mi dinastía es importante
My dynasty is important
Del valor se mide el tamaño
Valor determines one's stature
Mi posición sigue en pie
My position still stands
Y no voy a retractarme
And I won't back down
La supero aun la conservo
I overcome it, I still preserve it
Y ella sera su remate
And she will be their finishing blow
Como botellita de jerez
Like a little bottle of sherry
Lo demás ya se lo saben
The rest, you already know it
Vengare a mi compañero
I'll avenge my partner
Habra terror en las calles
There'll be terror in the streets
Al nuevo año no creo que lleguen
I don't think they'll make it to the new year
Pero navidad va a llegarles
But Christmas will get to them

manotean — they gesticulate / they wave their hands
Manotear means to gesticulate or wave one's hands, often in an agitated or threatening manner. It's a vivid verb that paints a picture of intense action.
In the context of this song, the lyrics state, "Y en conjunto con la muerte / Manotean los contrarios" (And together with death / The adversaries gesticulate). This suggests the enemies are not just present, but actively and aggressively asserting themselves, perhaps in a struggle or confrontation, making it a powerful and memorable image.
