Les cuento una historia que pasó
I'll tell you a story that happened
Por cierto, quien me la contó fue un viejo
By the way, who told me it was an old man
Y de recuerdo, llevé dos plomazos en el cuerpo
And as a souvenir, I carried two leads.
Y dolor en el corazón
And pain in the heart
Primero, Don Jesús del pueblo salió
First, Don Jesus of the people came out
Qué huevos, no ocupó cruzar el desierto
What eggs, did not occupy crossing the desert
Porque a lo güeros, en sus narices varios kilos les metió
Because to the güeros, in their noses several kilos put them
Bajo el asiento, un pistolón
Under the seat, a pistol
Llegó al los Estados Unidos
Arrived in the United States
Y los kilitos en bolsitas empacó
And the pounds in bags packed
Y en menos de cuatro meses
And in less than four months
Su primer casa compró
His first house he bought
Del par real perdió la cuenta
Of the real pair lost count
Pues eran muchas las tiendas
Well, there were many stores
Su producto era el mejor
Their product was the best
Y así suena compa jimmy
And that's what compa jimmy sounds like
Humilde

Hasta Los Ángeles viejo

Su vida, un giro drástico dio
His life, a drastic turn took
Su rastro, lo empezó a seguir el gobierno

Qué astuto el viejo, de plumero y jardinero trabajó
How cunning the old man, duster and gardener worked
Compró un carrito en la 82
Bought a cart on 82
Las balas nadie las veía venir
No one saw the bullets coming
Qué rabia, iban por el más pequeño
What a rage, they were going for the smallest
Y fue por eso que Don Jesús para su tierra regresó
And that was why Don Jesus returned to his land
Pero antes de eso, se las cobró
But before that, he charged them.
Fue tanto dinero en exceso

Que su familia fue la que el precio pagó

Vale más llegar a viejo
It's better to get old
Que vivir con la ambición

Hoy Don Jesús desde su rancho divisando los maizales
Today Don Jesus from his ranch overlooking the cornfields
Su historia nos platicó
