Below, I translated the lyrics of the song El Gabito by Luis R Conriquez from Spanish to English.
Sé que ahora me miran recio
I know that now they stare at me hard
Pero en todo hay un por qué
But there's a reason for everything
Antes no había ni pa un taco
Back then there wasn't even enough for a taco
Batallando pa comer
Struggling just to eat
De la vida yo no me quejo
I don't complain about life
Con valor me superé
With courage I bettered myself
Y nunca agaché la mirada
And I never lowered my gaze
Pa'l enfrente siempre miré
I always looked straight ahead
Allá en Rosario está mi casa
Over in Rosario that's where my house is
80 mi clave y es
80 is my code
Está a mi favor la balanza
The scale tips in my favor
No lo niego, batallé
I don't deny it, I struggled
Todo lo que en la vida pasa
Everything that happens in life
Por algo pasa también
Happens for a reason too
Y le agradezco al señor Panu
And I thank Mr. Panu
Por él es que estoy al 100
It's because of him that I'm at 100
Siempre me miraban humilde, incluso antes de ser alguien
They always saw me humble, even before being somebody
Pues traigo escuela de señores que en su tiempo fueron grandes
'Cause I bring the schooling of gentlemen that were big in their time
Ahorita cargo un arsenal, es lo que no cargaba antes
Right now I carry an arsenal, that's what I didn't carry before
No soy de pleito, soy calmado, pero yo no sé dejarme
I'm not one for fights, I'm calm, but I don't know how to back down
Y esta se va
And this one goes out
Hasta Mazatlán pa' mi compa Gabito
All the way to Mazatlán for my buddy Gabito
Y así suena su compa Luis R Conriquez, viejo
And this is how your buddy Luis R Conriquez sounds, man
Y puro Cartel Music
And nothing but Cartel Music
Bastantes hombres pa la guerra
Plenty of men for war
Por si se ocupa pelear
In case fighting's needed
No tengo miedo a la pelea
I ain't scared of the fight
La misión aquí es ganar
The mission here is to win
Inteligencia pa'l combate
Intelligence for combat
Porque no es nomás llegar
Because it's not just about showing up
Tumbando la puerta a los contras
Knocking down the door on the rivals
Hay que saber caminar
You gotta know how to walk
De Sinaloa la charola
The badge is from Sinaloa
Gracias al señor Iván
Thanks to Mr. Iván
Por la confianza que ha brindado
For the trust that he's given
No se le va a defraudar
He won't be let down
Varias blindadas artilladas
Several armored trucks armed
Las que el Gabito se trae
The ones that Gabito brings along
Cortas y rifles han mirado
They've seen handguns and rifles
Por Rosario patrullar
Patrolling through Rosario
51, mi carnal, qué falta me haces acá abajo
51, my brother, how you are missed down here
Owen, hermano, pronto andarás en el área trabajando
Owen, brother, you'll soon be working in the area
Por lo pronto seguimos pilas y firmes para el trabajo
For now we stay sharp and steady for the job
Andamos haciéndole ruido yo y mi carnalito el Kasko
My little brother Kasko and I are making noise
