Destapé una botella
I uncapped a bottle
La fiesta comenzaba
The party began
Pero no me esperaba
But I didn't expect
Que los guachos me buscaran
That the guachos would look for me
Recio los barretes tronaban
The barrels thundered loudly
Corrí pa la oficina
I ran to the office
Por mi nueve cortita
For my nine short
Miré por la ventana
I looked out the window
Mi familia arrodillada
My family kneeling
Tuve que soltar el arma
I had to drop the gun
Ni siquiera hubo tiempo
There wasn't even time
De siquiera defendernos
To even defend ourselves
El 4 ya estaba puesto
The 4 was already set
Aprovecharon el momento
They took advantage of the moment
Y lograron aprehendernos
And they managed to apprehend us
Cuando menos esperaba
When I least expected
Con las cachas me golpeaban
They hit me with their fists
Me subieron a la fuerza
They took me by force
Nunca perdí la firmeza
I never lost my firmness
Pero perdí la conciencia
But I lost consciousness
En un cuarto despertaba
In a room I woke up
Con gente que me observaba
With people who watched me
No sabía dónde estaba
I didn't know where I was
Y no recordaba nada
And I didn't remember anything
Una entrevista comenzaba
An interview began
Porque lo prometido es deuda, viejones
Because what was promised is a debt, old guys
Su compita, El de La Lira
His competitor, The One from La Lira
Ya tenemos uno bueno
We already have a good one
Dijo el oficial sonriendo

Le pedí un vaso con agua
I asked him for a glass of water
Paso a paso se acercaba
Step by step he approached
La 9 le arrebataba

Le metí 4 calacas
I put 4 calacas in it
Para no perder más balas
To avoid wasting more bullets
Y tomé sus cargadores
And I took their chargers
Tomé aire y miré arriba
I took a breath and looked up
Tú decide mi destino
You decide my destiny
Salí para un pasillo
I went out into a hallway
Y ya estaban advertidos
And they were already warned
Venían por mi cabeza
They were coming through my head
Fácil no van a tenerla

Disparé y les di guerra
I shot and gave them war
No puedo estar encerrado
I can't be locked up
Hay familia a mi lado
There is family by my side
Que necesitan mi ayuda

Para salir adelante
To get ahead
Y poder probar bocado
And to be able to try a bite
Era vivir o estar muerto
It was live or be dead
Y de eso no me arrepiento
And I don't regret that
Nada es fácil en la vida
Nothing is easy in life
Por eso pónganse pilas
That's why get ready
Aquí en las nubes me encuentro
Here in the clouds I find myself
