El Reclusirio Norte

The Northern Prison

El Reclusirio Norte

To that northern prisonA ese reclusorio norte
Yesterday I went to visitAyer yo fui a visitar
A dear friendA un amigo muy querido
I have in that placeQue tengo en ese lugar
And as he hugged meY a la vez que me abrazaba
He asked how I was doingMe dijo como le va

How are you, buddyComo se encuentra compadre
Tell me what's newCuenteme que novedad
Have they told you about the burningLe han dicho que anda la quema
Going on hard in CuliacanMuy dura por culiacan
I said it's nothing strangeLe dije no es nada extraño
In Sinaloa, it's already normalEn sinaloa ya es normal

The heat is strongEl caloron esta fuerte
No one wants to back downNadie se quiere dejar
The fight is fierceLa plavada vive rezio
No one wants to back downNadie se quiere dejar
Those who have dedicated the plazaLos que han dediado la plaza
Have not been able to achieve itNo lo han podido lograr

They sent greetingsLo mandaron saludar
From his family and friendsSus familiares y amigos
And then he tells me smilingY luego el m me dice sonriendo
You know you can count on meSabe que cuenta conmigo
And he sends a big hugY le manda un fuerte abrazo
Through this corridoA travez de este corrido

My buddy says smilingMi compa dice sonriendo
They have to prepare meMe tienen que preparar
A good little partyUna buena fiestesita
Very soon in CuliacanMuy pronto alla en culiacan
To the Canelos and the PotroA los canelos y al potro
I want to hear liveEn vivo quiero escuchar

The rooster keeps singingEl gallo sigue cantando
Even though he's not in his coopAun que no esta en su corral
For all the traitorsPara todos los traidores
There's a place reservedHay reservado un lugar
When the river makes noise, there's waterCuando el rio suena hay agua
Don't forgetNo se les valla a olvidar
