Los Duros De Colombia Lyrics in English Gerardo Ortiz
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Los Duros De Colombia by Gerardo Ortiz from Spanish to English.
Hay poder hay dinero hay respeto
There's power, there's money, there's respect
Mandaderos clientes y paquetes
Runners, clients and packages
Pero cuando coronas la vuelta
But when you pull off the run
Te conviertes en duro de cuento
You turn into a badass legend
Aquel hombre que porta una escolta
That man rolling with bodyguards
Y de pronto lo busca el gobierno
And suddenly the government comes after him
Hay carteles equipos y rangos
There are cartels, crews and ranks
Poderosos multimillonarios
Powerful multi-millionaires
Medellín de Pablito y su gente
Medellín, Pablito and his crew
Escobar un hombre respetado
Escobar, a respected man
Supo hacer deshacer al gobierno
He knew how to make and break the government
Fue violento y así fue aceptado
He was violent and that's how he got accepted
Las batallas que fueron ganadas
The battles that were won
Las derrotas no son olvidadas
The defeats are never forgotten
Hay venganza por eso hay respeto
There's revenge, that's why there's respect
Todo tiene la causa y efecto
Everything has cause and effect
Los políticos y guerrilleros
Politicians and guerrillas
Se deslumbran al ver el dinero
Get dazzled when they see the cash
Hubo guerra traición delincuencia
There was war, betrayal, crime
Pero nunca se vio la pobreza
But poverty never showed up
Trabajaban así los hermanos
That's how the brothers worked
Sin tener al gobierno y sus rejas
Without the government or its bars
Cali fue de los más respetados

Los Rodriguez formaron su empresa

Por el norte del valle presente

Se combina con las estrategias

Traficar el negocio asociado

Y los reyes son los colombianos
And the kings are the Colombians
Hay soplones santos y embalados
There are snitches, saints and coked-up guys
Las chulitas siempre de mi agrado
The hotties are always my thing
Ni toparse nos busca el gobierno
Just crossing paths, the government comes after us
Si nos tuercen luego nos pillamos
If they bust us, we'll handle it later
Más de pronto que siga este cuento
Still, let this story keep rolling
Son los duros narco colombianos
