Ayer baje de la sierra
Yesterday I came down from the mountains
Ya me estaban esperando
They were already waiting for me
Eran 100 hombres de verde
They were 100 men in green.
Tenían el paso bloqueado
They had the passage blocked
Pero se llevaron plancha
But they took iron
Yo venia por otro lado
I came from the other side
Al barrio de tierra blanca
To the neighborhood of Tierra Blanca
Muy cerquita del infierno
Very close to hell
Voy a ver a mi borrada
I'm going to see my deleted
A escondidas del gobierno
Hidden from the government
Son 2 pendientes que tengo
There are 2 earrings that I have
Que ahí noches que yo no duermo
That there nights that I do not sleep
No se apunten zopilotes
Don't sign up for vultures
Que todavia no me he muerto
That I haven't died yet
Por que me puse perjumenes
Why I wore perjumenes
Ustedes piensan que apesto
You think I stink
Si deberás me traen ganas
If you must, they bring me the desire
Nomas arriesguen su resto
Just risk your rest
Me gusta pescar charales
I like to fish charales
Para echarlos de carnada
To cast them as bait
En la ciudad de Nogales
In the city of Nogales
Me tiraron por la espalda
They threw me in the back
Si me quieren rematar
If you want to finish me off
Los espero en Ensenadaa
I wait for you in Ensenadaa
No es que me guste la bronca
It's not that I like anger
Pero aprecio la emocion
But I appreciate the excitement
Que me toquen con la banda
To be played with the band
Esa pieza del barzón
That piece of the barzón
Después voy para las quintas
Then I go to the fifths
Me lo pide el corazon
My heart asks me
Bonitas las olas santas
Beautiful holy waves
Nadie lo puede negar
No one can deny it.
Si quieres ganar dinero
If you want to make money
Acércate a Culiacan
Come to Culiacan
Cuando bajes de la sierra
When you come down from the mountains
No lo vallas a olvidar
Don't forget it
