Aya enfrente hay un reten
Aya opposite is a toilet
Carlos le dice a su hermano
Carlos tells his brother
Tu dices lo que hay que hacer
You say what needs to be done
Al fin venimos armados
At last we came armed
Así el corrido comienza
This is how the corrido begins
De Carlitos y Alejandro
Of Carlitos and Alejandro
Una Cherokee del año
A Cherokee of the Year
Blindada traía Carlitos
Armored brought Carlitos
Salieron de madrugada
They left at dawn
Pero había un operativo
But there was an operation.
Esa noche iba hacer larga
That night was going to be long
El santero lo predijo
The santero predicted it
Alejandro se bajo
Alejandro got off
Y se amarro la pechera
And he tied the breastplate
Carlos agarro valor
Carlos took courage
Se tercio la metralleta
The submachine gun is split
Con un franco tirador
With a sniper
Empezó la balacera
The shooting began
Alcanzo a llevarse a dos
I manage to take two
Antes que le respondieran
Before they answered you
Usaban visión nocturna
They used night vision
Como las que usan en guerra
Like the ones they use in war
Los balazos a los guachos
The bullets to the guachos
Le rosaban la mollera
They pinked the mollera
Así pasaron dos horas
So two hours passed
Mientras llegaba el rescate
As the rescue arrived
Se puso fea la cosa
It got ugly
Se les acababa el parque
They were running out of park
Se atrocharon el la loma
They stuck on the hill
Rodeados de militares
Surrounded by military
Quince tiros de la escuadra
Fifteen shots of the squad
Se las descargo al teniente
I discharged them to the lieutenant.
Los que se iban arrimando
Those who were coming together
Corrieron con la misma suerte
They met the same fate.
Pues como no si las balas
Well, how not if the bullets
Se estrellaban en la frente
They crashed on the forehead
Asían el ultimo esfuerzo
Assian the last effort
Cuando el apoyo llego
When support came
Hay en pleno enfrentamiento
There is in full confrontation
Los rescataba un convoy
They were rescued by a convoy
Los guachos se sorprendieron
The guachos were surprised
No esperaban esa acción
They didn't expect that action.
En la listas del gobierno
On government lists
Ahora son los mas buscados
Now they are the most wanted
Mientras esquivaban balas
While dodging bullets
Tumbaron a varios soldados
Several soldiers were knocked down
Así el corrido termina
This is how the corrido ends
De Carlitos y Alejandro
Of Carlitos and Alejandro
