He had over 50 long ones in his caravanEran más de 50 los largos que traía en su caravana

He was always known as a dandyDe dandi siempre tuvo buena fama
And where he set his sights, that's where he shotY donde ponía el ojo es donde ponía la bala

To his family, he was GonzaloPa su familia era Gonzalo
But to the mafia, he was the feared Chalo AraujoY para la mafia el temido Chalo Araujo
When it came to aim, he was the bestPa la puntería era el mejor
That's why he spread the terrorEs por eso que sembró el terror
He was the favorite gunslinger and the right hand of the bossEra el pistolero favorito y brazo armado del señor

He had the forces under his commandTenía a su mando las corporaciones
Municipal police and also the state copsPolicía municipal y también la ministerial
He made a good team with Victoriano, his brotherUn buen equipo hizo junto a Victoriano su carnal

When Chalo hit the party, Pepe Canelo playedCuando Chalo agarraba la fiesta, tocaba Pepe Canelo

In a red sports carEn un deportivo Colorado
With the band playing in a double cabY la banda sonando en una doble rodado
Because Gonzalo really enjoyed lifePorque Gonzalo sí la gozaba
He knew that life was borrowedSupo que la vida era prestada
And over in Culiacán, his crew remembers the favorite.Y allá en Culiacán al favorito lo recuerda su plebada
