Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Armando Aguirre by Chalino Sanchez from Spanish to English.
Tengo un contrato firmado
I have a signed contract
Desde que vine a este mundo
Since I came to this world
No le pusimos la fecha
We didn't put the date on it
Por eso es que vivo a gusto
That's why I live at ease
El mundo da muchas vueltas
The world turns a lot
Y yo de nada me asusto
And I'm afraid of nothing
Con la muerte por un lado
With death at my side
Todo el tiempo me paseo
I'm always strolling around
No me gusta presumir
I don't like to brag
Pero no me miren feo
But don't look at me ugly
Ahí traigo un cuerno de chivo
I've got a goat-horn rifle on me
No lo tengo de trofeo
I don't keep it as a trophy
Armando Aguirre se llama
He's called Armando Aguirre
Aduanal de profesión
Customs agent by trade
En la Sultana del Norte
In the Sultana of the North
De Monterrey, Nuevo León
From Monterrey, Nuevo León
Reconocido lo tienen
They've got him well-known
Pues le sobra corazón
Because he's got heart to spare
El comandante Espinoza
Commander Espinoza
Y también toda su gente
And all his crew as well
Siempre se sienten tranquilos
Always feel calm
Cuando Armando va en el frente
When Armando goes up front
Porque cuenta con lo suyo
Because he's got what it takes
Es bravo e inteligente
He's fierce and smart
Le gusta la vida recia
He likes the hard life
Las mujeres y el dinero
Women and money
Armando Aguirre lo dice
Armando Aguirre says it
Me gusta ser el primero
I like to be the first
Yo por mi compa derribo
For my buddy I bring 'em down
Me dejo ir a un voladero
I'll throw myself off a cliff
Adiós Ciudad de Nogales
Goodbye City of Nogales
De ti me estoy despidiendo
I'm saying farewell to you
De Monterrey, Nuevo León
From Monterrey, Nuevo León
Yo guardo un fino recuerdo
I keep a fine memory
Recuerden que a Armando Aguirre
Remember that Armando Aguirre
Nunca lo hallarán durmiendo
You'll never find him sleeping
