Below, I translated the lyrics of the song La Patrulla 05 by Carlos Y Jose from Spanish to English.
Año del 88, en Reynosa Tamaulipas
The year of '88, in Reynosa, Tamaulipas
La patrulla 05, en llamas se consumía
Patrol car 05 was engulfed in flames
De transito dos agentes, a unos maleantes seguían
Two traffic cops were chasing some thugs
Su labor desempeñaban, a bordo de esa patrulla
They were doing their duty, inside that patrol car
Cuando un carro que pasaba, les dejo caer la metralla
When a passing car unleashed machine-gun fire on them
Carretera ribereña, testigo de esa batalla
The riverside highway, witness to that battle
Homero Flores le dice, contestando con su escuadra
Homero Flores says, answering with his pistol
No tengo miedo a morirme, si es que me quiebra una bala
I'm not afraid to die, if a bullet takes me down
La sirena se oye triste, cuando entre balas sonaba
The siren sounds sad, as it wailed amid the bullets
Al pasar por Rancho Grande, seguía aquel duelo a balazos
Passing by Rancho Grande, the shootout continued
Pero aquellos dos agentes, ya habían pedido refuerzos
But those two agents had already called for backup
Les fueron a dar alcance, al llegar a 'Los Cavazos'
They were caught upon reaching 'Los Cavazos'
Abandonaron el carro, y del monte les tiraron
They abandoned the car, and shot at them from the brush
Y también los dos agentes, de la patrulla bajaron
And the two agents also got out of the patrol car
Y aquellos 4 maleantes, a balazos la explotaron
And those 4 thugs shot up the car 'til it exploded
La Federal los detiene, por ese grave delito
The Federal Police arrests them for that serious crime
Para Flores De La Fuente, el corrido le dedico
To Flores De La Fuente, I dedicate this ballad
Ya termine de cantarles, la patrulla 05
I've finished singing to you, about patrol car 05
