Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Cien Por Uno by Los Tucanes De Tijuana from Spanish to English.
Fue a Colombia a tratar mercancía
He went to Colombia to deal merchandise
Pero estando allá lo secuestraron
But while he was there they kidnapped him
Por la deuda de treinta millones
For the debt of thirty million
Que dejo al fallecer su cuñado
That his brother-in-law left when he died
Muerto el perro no acaba la rabia
With the dog dead the rabies isn't over
Esa es la ley de los colombianos
That's the law of the Colombians
Yo no voy a pagar ni un centavo
I'm not going to pay a single cent
Ese no es mi problema señores
That isn't my problem, gentlemen
Mire amigo no estamos jugando
Look, buddy, we aren't playing
Ya tomamos nuestras precauciones
We've already taken our precautions
Si no paga usted paga su hermana
If you don't pay, your sister pays
Es mejor que hable con sus patrones
It's better that you talk with your bosses
Empezaron a movilizarse
They started to mobilize
Hasta que acompletaron la lana
Until they gathered up the cash
La mandaron a Estados Unidos
They sent it to the United States
Allá en Texas la necesitaban
Over there in Texas they needed it
Era mucho dinero el rescate
The ransom was a lot of money
Pero para la mafia era nada
But for the mafia it was nothing
Porque el hombre valía una fortuna
Because the man was worth a fortune
Grandes jefes lo necesitaban
Big bosses needed him
Se entero del problema Carrillo
Carrillo found out about the problem
Y a Colombia mando una persona
And he sent a person to Colombia
Localizame a ese desgraciado
Locate that bastard for me
Quiero el nombre con toda su historia
I want the name with his whole story
Después lo comunicas conmigo
Afterward you put him in touch with me
Puede ser alguien de nuestra zona
He might be someone from our area
Era un socio de gran importancia
He was a partner of great importance
Dicho y hecho salio conocido
Said and done, he turned out to be known
Yo respondo por el Niño de Oro
I vouch for the Golden Kid
Dijo el gran sinaloense tranquilo
Said the great Sinaloan calmly
Ahí me apuntas los treinta millones
Put the thirty million on my tab there
A la cuenta que tienes conmigo
To the account that you have with me
No señor son aparte las cuentas
No sir, the accounts are separate
Su paisano me paga o lo mato
Your countryman pays me or I kill him
Mire socio le advierto una cosa
Look, partner, I warn you of one thing
Cien de ustedes haremos pedazos
We'll tear a hundred of you to pieces
Por cada mexicano que mate
For every Mexican you kill
Cien por uno sera nuestro trato
One hundred for one will be our deal
Por ahí dicen que ya no ahí problemas
They say around there that there aren't problems anymore
El rescate volvió de inmediato
The ransom came back right away
