Below, I translated the lyrics of the song El Chapo Guzman by Los Tucanes de Tijuana from Spanish to English.
En Guatemala señores
In Guatemala, gentlemen
cobraron la recompensa
they collected the reward
alla agarraron al Chapo
there they caught El Chapo
las leyes guatemaltecas
the Guatemalan laws
un traficante famoso
a famous trafficker
que todo el mundo comenta
that everyone talks about
De la noche a la mañana
From night to morning
el Chapo se hizo famoso
El Chapo became famous
encabezaba una banda
he led a gang
de gatilleros mafiosos
of mafia hitmen
con un apoyo muy grande
with great support
del güero Palma su socio
from his partner, El Güero Palma
El Chapo tenia conectas
El Chapo had connections
con lo narcos colombianos
with Colombian drug lords
y traficaba la droga
and trafficked drugs
de Sudamerica en grano
from South America in bulk
al Norte del contiente
to the North of the continent
donde tenian el mercado
where they had the market
Enormes importaciones
Enormous heroin imports
detectaron de heroina
were detected
que venia desde Tailandia
coming from Thailand
lista para distribuirla en
ready to be distributed in
los paises de Europa

I am not a trafficker
No soy ningun traficante
El Chapo Guzman said
decia el Chapo Guzman
not even the leader of a gang
menos jefe de una banda
I don't like carrying weapons
ni armas me gusta portar
I am a farmer
yo soy un agricultor
I grow corn in Culiacan
siembro maiz en Culiacan
I don't know Miguel Felix
No conozco a Miguel Felix
only the Arellanos
no mas a los Arellanos
but that is not a reason
pero eso no es un motivo
for them to have arrested me
para que me hallan arrestado
my planes and my ranches
mis aviones y mis ranchos
I bought them with corn
con maiz los he comprado
El Chapo, with his power
El Chapo con su poder
bought off big bosses
a grandes jefes compro
that's why in the whole country
por eso en todo el pais
the law never found him
la ley nunca le encontro
his people continue operating
su gente sigue operando
as ordered by the boss
así lo ordena el señor
so commands the lord
