Below, I translated the lyrics of the song El Ocho by Luis R Conriquez from Spanish to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Reportaron noticieros un convoy de gente armada
News reports reported a convoy of armed people
Entraron para Caborca y aseguran esa plaza
They entered Caborca and secured that place
Traen las órdenes de un hombre que va al frente de su raza
They bring the orders of a man who leads his race
Con la línea que navegan creo que se quedan cortitos
With the line they sail I think they fall short
Modo bélico, los plebes, camuflados van de pinto
Warlike mode, the plebes, camouflaged, go in disguise
El terreno tiene dueño a la orden de los chapitos
The land has an owner at the order of the chapitos
Aguas con la voladora, no se sabe en dónde ataque
Waters with the flyer, it is not known where it will attack
Del desierto de Sonora es el que carga las llaves
From the Sonoran desert he is the one who carries the keys
Por el radio lo mencionan
They mention it on the radio
'Como el 8, esa es la clave, como el 8, esa es la clave'
'Like 8, that's the key, like 8, that's the key'
Dónde quiera canta el gallo cuando el sol sale o se quita
Wherever the rooster crows when the sun rises or sets
Del peligro no se escapa, siempre carga una cortita
You don't escape from danger, you always carry a little bit
Y aunque traiga nuevas plazas, no descuida Sonoyta
And although it brings new places, Sonoyta does not neglect
Y aunque el agua esté revuelta, el sartén trae por el mango
And even though the water is stirred, the pan has the upper hand
Cuenta con varios amigos que son de muy alto rango
He has several friends who are very high-ranking
Y allá en Altar y en Caborca, patrullando su comando
And there in Altar and in Caborca, patrolling his command
De la guerra y pa' la guerra son sus únicas opciones
Of war and for war are your only options
El que es de buena madera lo distinguen sus acciones
He who is made of good wood is distinguished by his actions
Pa' que no les quede duda
So that there is no doubt
Que aquí rifan los pelones, que aquí rifan los pelones
That here the bald ones raffle, that here the bald ones raffle
