Se apellida Villanueva y radica en Monterrey
His last name is Villanueva and he lives in Monterrey
De profesión licenciada, es valiente la mujer

Terror de los tribunales le apodan a Raquenel
Terror of the courts they nickname Raquenel
'Que defiendes puros narcos', así le decía el juez
'That you defend pure drug traffickers', that's what the judge told him
Que sumas muy millonarias, tú cobras, por defender
What very millionaire sums, you charge, to defend
Y por sacar delincuentes que yo acabo de meter
And to get rid of criminals that I just put in
Sé que a muchos incomoda mi forma de trabajar
I know that my way of working makes many people uncomfortable
Pues, no tengo compromisos con ninguna autoridad
Well, I have no commitments to any authority
Ellos pelean el encierro, yo peleo la libertad
They fight confinement, I fight freedom
No vengo a defender monjas ni sacristanes ni curas
I do not come to defend nuns or sacristans or priests
Vengo a sacar a mis clientes que solicitan mi ayuda

De que les cobró, les cobró, eso no le quede duda
That he charged them, he charged them, there is no doubt about that
Sé que no compongo el mundo, pero en algo he de ayudar

Mi trabajo es muy humano, paga el que puede pagar

Con parte de ese dinero, llevo comida al penal

Es una madre soltera y la niña es su querer

Por ser noble y justiciera, la trata el mundo al revés

Pues la maldad de los hombres, se ensaña con la mujer
Well, the evil of men is cruel to women
Ya son muchos atentados y Dios la deja vivir

La maldición del culpable, tal vez, esté por venir
The curse of the guilty, perhaps, is yet to come
Dejen a Dios que decida a quién le toca morir
