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-47 on the shoulder
Se paseaba por Goa de Alajara
He strolled through Goa de Alajara
Y su gente portaba tan bien
And his people carried so well
Puro cuernito, lanza granadas
Only little AKs, grenade launchers
Y era que su Sariel Salazar
And it was that his name was Sariel Salazar
El tesoro todos le apodaban
Everyone nicknamed him the treasure
Nació en el Tabachín, Sinaloa
He was born in Tabachín, Sinaloa
Pero vivía en Goa de Alajara
But he lived in Goa de Alajara
Era el dueño de toda esa plaza
He was the owner of that whole plaza
Nomás sus chicharrones tronaban
Only his chicharrones cracked
Todo aquel que quería despojarlo
Everyone that wanted to dispossess him
Solamente la muerte ganaba
Only death won
Lo mataron por miedo y envidia
They killed him out of fear and envy
A traición lo pudieron de frente
They could face him by betrayal
Pero tienen sus pasos contados
But their days are numbered
Todos los que planearon su muerte
All those who planned his death
No porque lo mataron descansan
Not because they killed him do they rest
Al contrario, creció su pendiente
On the contrary, their burden grew
El tesoro era un hombre muy bravo
The treasure was a very brave man
Y el que se le oponía lo mataba
And whoever opposed 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 there was a fight, he fought
Con su cuerno de chivo en el hombro
With his AK-47 on the shoulder
El tesoro a nadie respetaba
The treasure respected nobody
Le gustaba robarse muchachas
He liked to steal girls
Pero no más puras quinceañeras
But only pure fifteen-year-olds
Dos, tres días pasaba tomando
Two, three days he spent drinking
Al compás de una gran balacera
To the rhythm of a great shootout
Con la música de Sinaloa
With the music of Sinaloa
Se paseaba por donde él quisiera
He strolled wherever he wanted
El tesoro salaza el portillo
The treasure Salazar the portillo
Y Gerardo Salazar, su hermano
And Gerardo Salazar, his brother
No respetaban leyes ni narcos
They respected neither laws nor narcos
Eran hombres muy finos y bravos
They were very fine and brave men
De la mafia murieron dos grandes
Two great ones died from the mafia
Pero todavía quedaron varios
But several still remained
