Comandante R1 Lyrics in English by Los Tucanes de Tijuana
Get ready to meet Comandante R1! This song by Los Tucanes de Tijuana introduces us to a truly intimidating figure. The lyrics tell us he was promoted for being brave, a "rango muy bien merecido" [very well-deserved rank]. When he arrives, he instills fear, not even leaving dogs alive! He's the R1 Commander, the head of operations, with an army at his command, always patrolling his territory in armored cars.
He's all about cleaning up for the Gulf Cartel, starting a new era. The song says he loves his job and gets excited "echando bala" [shooting bullets]. He's even made a pact with the devil, and his strategy never fails. Neither rivals nor the government can stand against his weapons. He's got calluses on his fingers from pulling the trigger so much! Despite all this, the song claims he's a true man who never attacks without reason, always putting honor first. He's a straight shooter, and men like R1, "que poquitos han nacido" [few have been born]. He's not one for threats; he's already proven himself, earning trust by delivering good results. Short and long guns are firing "por todo el estado" [all over the state], as the Gulf Cartel advances, with R1 reporting in.
