Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Manuel Santillan, El Leon by Los Fabulosos Cadillacs from Spanish to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
El león esta escondido en el callejón

Y sabe bien lo que le va a pasar
And he knows well what's going to happen to him.
Entonces saca su revolver
Then he pulls out his revolver
Y va a disparar
And he's going to shoot
La policía lo rodea sin tregua

Lo buscan por ajuste de cuentas
They are looking for him for reckoning
Y es el sargento que sin vacilar
And it is the sergeant who without hesitation
Abre fuego y le da
