Below, I translated the lyrics of the song El 17 by Panter Bélico from Spanish to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Le brinca a alguna avioneta
He jumps into some plane
O a veces por brechas
Or sometimes through gaps
Se sube a la sierra
He climbs the mountain
Cuando el hombre anda contento
When the man is happy
Retumba la tierra que nacer lo viera
The earth resounds that being born saw it
Es un capo duranguense
He is a Durango boss
Por ahí se oye que las puede
From there you hear that you can
No es de la presa Vicente
It is not from the Vicente dam
La presa es del 17
The dam is 17
De muy joven aventado
From a very young age
Por eso los grandes
That's why the greats
Siempre lo buscaron
They always looked for him
Por ahí lo dice un corrido
That's where a corrido says it
Don Chapo y su gente
Don Chapo and his people
A su rancho llegaron
They arrived at their ranch
Le agradezco su confianza
I thank you for your trust
Y también al señor Mayo
And also to Mr. Mayo
Ya se sabe que no hay falla
It is already known that there is no failure
Mientras pueda le atoramos
As long as he can we will jam him
Joven pero inteligente
young but smart
Nació con visión y por eso es un jefe
He was born with vision and that is why he is a boss
Tiene bastante conectes
It has quite a few connections
Frontera a frontera
Border to border
Se pasea Vicente
Vicente walks
Un ejército a su mando
An army at your command
Muchos piensan que es gobierno
Many think it is government
Brincan por el 17
They jump for 17
Con su pechera y su cuerno
With his breastplate and his horn
Cuando llega el mes de octubre
When the month of October arrives
El mero día 28 festeja a su santo
The mere 28th celebrates its saint
Es el que lo ha acompañado
It is the one who has accompanied him
También lo protege
It also protects him
Y lo guía en su trabajo
And guides him in his work
Se adelantó mi compadre
My friend came forward
Al que le apodaban Mago
The one who was nicknamed Magician
Hoy mucha falta nos hace
Today we really need
Y don Meño sigue al mando
And Don Meño is still in charge
