Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Clave 7 by Los Invasores De Nuevo León from Spanish to English.
En el retén de la loma estaban 100 federales
At the checkpoint on the hill there were a hundred federal officers
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 clueless, they asked 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 already grown a mane, they're going to have to kill him
No más no se arriesguen mucho, primero hay que traicionarlo
Just don't risk too much, first we 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 put up checkpoints throughout the whole nation
Lo cierto es que los transportes, Pedrito los regaló
The truth is that the transports, Pedrito gave them away
Le mandaron dos agentes, que le pidieran dinero
They sent him two agents that asked him for money
Veinte millones de pesos era el precio de su cuero
Twenty million pesos was the price of his hide
Pero como era camuco, lo tomaron prisionero
But since he was tightfisted, they took him prisoner
Junto con dos compañeros, además dos señoritas
Along with two companions, plus two young ladies
Los llevaron a la Y, era la última cita
They took them to the Y, it was the last meeting
Ahí los acribillaron junto con más jovencitas
There they gunned them down along with more young girls
Desde ese día inolvidable no rola tanto dinero
Since that unforgettable day, that much money doesn't roll anymore
Y unos agentes traidores, ahora estrenan carro nuevo
And some traitor agents are now driving a brand-new car
Y un hombre en Guadalajara, no duerme de puro miedo
And a man in Guadalajara doesn't sleep from sheer fear
Adiós señor comandante, aquí lo llevo en mi lista
Goodbye, Mr. Commander, I carry you on my list
Usted me echó por delante, ahí lo espero en la revista
You sent me ahead, I'll wait for you there in the magazine
Ya que tumbó mi panal, ahora toree las avispas
Since you knocked down my hive, now go bullfight the wasps
Mis armas no las entrego, van a quedar en el cerro
I won't give up my guns, they'll stay up in the hills
Yo no me fio de esa gente que la deslumbra el dinero
I don't trust those people that are dazzled by money
Ya murió el león de la sierra, vengan a quitarle el cuero
The lion of the mountains is already dead, come strip off his hide
Adiós todos mis amigos del valle de Culiacán
Goodbye, all my friends from the valley of Culiacán
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 Avilés, don't you forget it
