Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Clave 7 by Los Invasores De Nuevo León from Spanish to English.
En el reten de la loma, estaban 100 federales
At the checkpoint on the hill, there were 100 federal agents
Preguntando por Pedrito, también por Paulino Burgos
Asking for Pedrito, also for Paulino Burgos
Pero andaban despistados, le preguntaban a un mudo
But they were confused, asking a mute
Clave 7 es la consigna, de agentes y de soldados
Code 7 is the order, for agents and soldiers
Ese león ya crío melena, van a tener que matarlo
That lion has grown a mane, they're going to have to kill him
Nomás no se arriesguen mucho
Just don't risk too much
Primero hay que traicionarlo
First, you have to betray him
En la ciudad de Hermosillo, hubo una concentración
In the city of Hermosillo, there was a gathering
También pusieron retenes, por todita la nación
They also set up checkpoints, throughout the nation
Lo cierto es que los transportes, Pedrito los regalo
The truth is, Pedrito gave away the transports
Le mandaron 2 agentes, que le pidieran dinero
They sent him 2 agents, to ask for money
Veinte millones de pesos, era el precio de su cuero
Twenty million pesos, was the price for his hide
Pero como era camuco, lo tomaron prisionero
But since he was cunning, they took him prisoner
Junto con dos compañeros, además dos señoritas
Along with two companions, and two ladies
Los llevaron a la Y griega, era la ultima cita
They took them to the Y griega, it was the final meeting
Ahí los acribillaron, junto con más jovencitas
There they riddled them, along with more young girls
Desde ese día inolvidable, no rola tanto dinero
Since that unforgettable day, money doesn't flow as much
Y unos agentes traidores, ahora estrenan carro nuevo
And some traitorous agents, now have new cars
Y un hombre en Guadalajara, no duerme de puro miedo
And a man in Guadalajara, can't sleep out of pure fear
Adiós señor comandante, aquí lo llevo en mi lista
Goodbye, Mr. Commander, I have you on my list
Usted me echo por delante, ahí lo espero en la revista
You put me in front, I'll be waiting for you in the magazine
Ya que tumbo mi panal, ahora toree las avispas
Now that you've knocked down my beehive, go and fight the wasps
Mis armas no las entrego, van a quedar en el cerro
I won't surrender my weapons, they'll stay in the hill
Yo no me fio de esa gente, que la deslumbra el dinero
I don't trust those people, who are dazzled by money
Ya murió el león de la sierra, venga a quitarle el cuero
The lion of the sierra has died, come and take his hide
Adiós todos mis amigos, del valle de Culiacán
Goodbye, all my friends, from the Culiacán valley
Ninguna ley del gobierno, mi nombre podrá cambiar
No government law can change my name
Me llamo Pedro Aviles, no se les vaya a olvidar
My name is Pedro Aviles, don't forget it
