Jorge Castro is his nameJorge Castro así se llama
And they call him El CoquioY le dicen El Coquio
He's of average heightEs mediano de estatura
Mischievous and very toughTravieso y muy aguerrido
When called to a fightCuando lo llaman a pleito
He never backs downNunca se pone amarillo

How many times he's foughtCuantas veces ha peleado
He's always been in the rightHa tenido la razón
His enemies already knowSus enemigos ya saben
That he’s got plenty of heartQue le sobra corazón
They'd rather steer clearMejor le sacan la vuelta
Thinking of playing him dirtyPiensan jugarle traición

Here’s a shoutoutHay le va un saludo

And a hug to the rib-breakerY un abrazo al rompe costillas

El Coquio always saysEl Coquio siempre dice
I know they want to kill meYo sé que quieren matarme
But if they just sleep on itPero nomás se les duerme

I’m gonna make them respect meYo voy a hacer respetarme

Now I say goodbye to allYa me despido de todos
I’ve finished singing to youYa termine de cantarles
To kill CoquioPa' que maten al Coquios

Their hands are gonna sweatLas manos van a sudarles
