Perro de Cadena
Esta un retén federal
Tino le dijo a su gente
Yo no permito que nadie
Venga a proponerme un trueque
Porque el picante que ofrecen
Yo lo hago en mi molcajete
Ese retén es camuco
Porque quieren darme piso
Me lo dijo un pajarito
Traiba un recado en el pico
Lo que quieren es la plaza
Quieren acabar conmigo
La sangre ya me está ahogando
Y me cosquillean las manos
Defenderemos la plaza
Que tanto nos ha costado
Vamos a calar los cuernos
Que antenoche comerciamos
Ay que bonitos balazos
Que silbaban en la sierra
Los compañeros de tino
Corrieron como gacelas
Dándole a tino en el blanco
Muerto quedo en la vereda
Vale más morir peleando
Y no vivir humillado
Tino nos dejó el ejemplo
Al defender su poblado
Si supiera que su gente
Toda se le ha malogrado
Quedo con su cuerno a un lado
Abrazándolo con fuerza
Todos lo vieron peleando
Como perro de cadena
No como otros que corrieron
Y hoy viven en la vergüenza
Chain Dog
There is a federal checkpoint
Tino told his people
I don't allow anyone
To come propose a trade to me
Because the spice they offer
I make it in my mortar
That checkpoint is tricky
Because they want to take me down
A little bird told me
It brought a message in its beak
What they want is the territory
They want to finish me
The blood is already choking me
And my hands are tingling
We will defend the territory
That has cost us so much
We will test the horns
That we traded the night before
Oh, what beautiful shots
Whistling in the mountains
Tino's companions
Ran like gazelles
Aiming at Tino's target
He fell dead on the sidewalk
It's better to die fighting
Than to live humiliated
Tino left us the example
By defending his town
If he knew that his people
Have all gone astray
He was left with his horn aside
Holding it tightly
Everyone saw him fighting
Like a chain dog
Not like others who ran
And now live in shame
