Javier Díaz Lyrics in English Enigma Norteño , La Ventaja
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Javier Díaz by Enigma Norteño from Spanish to English.
Vieja escuela de la mafia
Old school mafia
Con principios y palabras
With principles and his word
Javier Díaz los portaba
Javier Díaz carried them
Y no voy a hablar de más
And I won't say too much
Porque no hay necesidad
Because there's no need
Era hijo de Baltazar
He was the son of Baltazar
El que se les fue a pelar
The one who got away from them
Nomas pa' que vean la talla
Just so you see his caliber
Y en Nacori iba la historia, comenzaba
And in Nacori the story was beginning
No por ser hijo de Balta
Just because he was Balta's son
Piensen que no le buscabas
Don't think he didn't hustle
Le perreaste allá en Chihuahua
You grinded out there in Chihuahua
Cuando el gobierno cayó
When the government came down
En busca de tu Patrón
In search of your Boss
Mientras a todos sopió
While he snitched on everyone
Contigo se la pelo
With you, he couldn't do sh*t
Los chingazos aguantabas
You withstood the beatings
Con un señor de respeto trabajabas
You worked with a man of respect
Que paso mi muchachón, supe que se la rifo
What's up, my boy, I heard you killed it
Eso dijo aquel viejón, y tu nombre preguntó
That's what that old man said, and asked your name
Te pareces a un amigo
You look like a friend of mine
Sí señor soy Javier Díaz, de quien dice soy su hijo
Yes sir, I'm Javier Díaz, the son of the man you mean
Pero a mi me gusta ganarme lo mío contestó
But I like to earn my own way, he answered
Y ahí cambió su destino
And that's when his destiny changed
Se hizo jefe de las plazas
He became boss of the territories
Veracruz, Cancún, Oaxaca
Veracruz, Cancún, Oaxaca
Barcos y aviones llegaban
Ships and planes would arrive
Repletos de polvo blanco
Full of white powder
Hizo amigos colombianos
He made Colombian friends
También grandes Sinaloenses
Also powerful Sinaloans
El azul y el chico fuentes
El Azul and El Chico Fuentes
Lo querían por ser buen gallo
They liked him for being a real fighter
Fuiste yerno y como un hijo de don Mayo
You were a son-in-law and like a son to Don Mayo
Con todo el porte de jefe
With the full presence of a boss
Y un acento Sinaloense
And a Sinaloan accent
Así lo veía la gente
That's how people saw him
Unas cachas de alacrán
Some scorpion grips
Las que se veían brillar
That you could see shining
Cinto y botas avestruz
Ostrich belt and boots
Así le gustaba andar
That's how he liked to roll
De Tijuana hasta el D.F

No se había visto tanto billete verde
So much green cash had never been seen
Lo vamos a recordar cuando se ponía a tomar
We'll remember him when he'd start to drink
Y la música ni hablar era con Luis y Julián
And the music, of course, was with Luis y Julián
Los que siempre le alegraban

Su caballo el R15, zapateaba con la banda

Cantandole su corrido recordamos a Javier
Singing his corrido, we remember Javier
Ese que más le gustaba
