El Tesoro Lyrics in English Los Tucanes de Tijuana
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song El Tesoro by Los Tucanes de Tijuana from Spanish to English.
Con un cuerno de chivo en el hombro
With an AK on his shoulder
Se paseaba por Goa de Alajara
He strolled through Guadalajara
Y su gente portaba tan bien
And his crew packed heat too
Puro cuernito, lanza granadas
Just little AKs, grenade launchers
Y era que su Sariel Salazar
And that was Sariel Salazar
El tesoro todos le apodaban
Everybody called him The Treasure
Nació en el Tabachín, Sinaloa
He was born in El Tabachín, Sinaloa
Pero vivía en Goa de Alajara
But he lived in Guadalajara
Era el dueño de toda esa plaza
He owned that whole turf
Nomás sus chicharrones tronaban
Only he called the shots
Todo aquel que quería despojarlo
Anybody who tried to strip him
Solamente la muerte ganaba
Only death came out ahead
Lo mataron por miedo y envidia
They killed him from fear and envy
A traición lo pudieron de frente
They ambushed him face-to-face
Pero tienen sus pasos contados
But their days are numbered
Todos los que planearon su muerte
All who plotted his death
No porque lo mataron descansan
Killing him won’t let them rest
Al contrario, creció su pendiente
On the contrary, their worry grew
El tesoro era un hombre muy bravo
The Treasure was a real tough man
Y el que se le oponía lo mataba
And whoever crossed him he killed
No le importaba si era el gobierno
He didn’t care if it was the government
Cuando había que pelear, él peleaba
When it was time to fight, he fought
Con su cuerno de chivo en el hombro
With his AK slung on his shoulder
El tesoro a nadie respetaba
The Treasure respected nobody
Le gustaba robarse muchachas
He liked snatching girls
Pero no más puras quinceañeras
Only fifteen-year-olds
Dos, tres días pasaba tomando
He’d spend two, three days drinking
Al compás de una gran balacera
To the rhythm of a heavy shootout
Con la música de Sinaloa
With the music from Sinaloa
Se paseaba por donde él quisiera
He roamed wherever he wanted
El tesoro salaza el portillo
El Tesoro Salazar Portillo
Y Gerardo Salazar, su hermano
And Gerardo Salazar, his brother
No respetaban leyes ni narcos
They respected neither laws nor cartels
Eran hombres muy finos y bravos
They were slick, fierce men
De la mafia murieron dos grandes
Two big shots of the mafia died
Pero todavía quedaron varios
But a few are still around
