Below, I translated the lyrics of the song El Pez Grande (El Chapo) by El Tigrillo Palma from Spanish to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
De los pies a la cabeza es bajito de estatura
From head to toe he is short in stature
de la cabeza hasta el cielo yo le calculo su altura
From your head to the sky I calculate your height
por que es grande entre los grandes
because he is great among the greats
a ver quien tiene una duda
Let's see who has a question
ya conocio la pobreza ya conocio la riqueza
I already knew poverty I already knew wealth
si lo respetan respeta si lo ofenden se acelera
If they respect it, respect it, if they offend it, it speeds up
y del infierno se escapa y se perzina en la iglesia
and from hell he escapes and perzina in the church
a veces las residencias a veces casa campaña
sometimes residences sometimes tents
los radios y las metrallas durmiendo en piso, en la cama
radios and shrapnel sleeping on the floor, in bed
en techo a veces las cuevas Joaquin el chapo le llaman
on the roof sometimes the caves Joaquin el chapo call him
acostumbrado a mandar tambien pensar escuchar
accustomed to command also think listen
sobresalia entre los grandes chequen su historia no mas
He stood out among the greats, check out his history no more
hecho raiz en el amor hay muchos hijos por ay
rooted in love there are many children alas
por medio de este corrido voy a mandar saludar
Through this corrido I am going to send greetings
aquellos viejos amigos que no podido olvidar
those old friends that I couldn't forget
soy el tio pa mis sobrinos para otros chapo guzman
I am the uncle for my nephews for others chapo guzman
