With twenty kilos of snowCon veinte kilos de nieve
Each kilo in a bagCada kilo en una bolsa

The superior gives the orderEl superior da la orden
Get the whole shipmentDenle a todo el cargamento
The lieutenant's in chargeEl teniente es quien se encarga
Of sending it to the ministryDe enviarselo al ministerio
Here I bring the ten kilosAqui traigo los diez kilos
That they found on the truckerQue le hayaron al trailero

We gotta lift theHay k levantar el ata
Confiscated drug stashDe la droga confiscada
And make sure the report's sentY que el reporte sea enviado
By tomorrow at the latestA mas tardar pa mañana
That the six kilos of powder leave tonightQue los seis kilos de polvo salgan esta madrugada

Just as it was orderedAsi como fue ordenada
The next morningA la mañana siguiente
Father answers and cleansedPadre respuestas y lavado
To the eastern prisonAl reclusorio de oriente
Arrived well-guardedLlego muy bien custodiado
With only three kilosCon tres kilos solamente

To hand down the sentencePara dictar la sentencia
Thirty-six hours passedPasaron treinta y seis horas
The judge asked for evidenceEl juez pido la evidencia
This was only an ounceEsto solo era una onsa
Since there weren't many proofsComo no habia muchas pruebas
Paredes walked out without issuesParedes salio sin broncas

And so ends the balladY asi se acaba el corrido
Where there’s more than one commanderDonde ay mas de un comandante
The events are quite richLos a echos mucho muy ricos
