Godfather's Ballad

Erik Estrada y sus Mal Portados

Corrido Del Padrino

Siempre he sido un hombre de trabajo
& Aqui sigo con la frente en alto
En mi rancho monto mi caballo
& Por las beredas mi 4x4
Soy ranchero digo con orgullo
& Soy recidente del rancho el salado

La violencia yo no la manejo
Mi estrategia es imponer respeto
Si me ofenden solo me defiendo
& Que qede claro de nadien me dejo
Las traiciones ni las malas mañas
Aqui en mis terrenos yo no las asepto

Cosas buenas me ha dado la vida
Tambien malas que no se me olvidan
He perdido muchas amistades
Desgraciadamente perdieron la vida
Pero cada golpe del destino
Me han echo mas fuerte no me debilitan

Todos saben mi nombre & mi apodo
& Pocos conocen de mi rostro
& Aunqe ya hay varias publicaciones
Que segun me buscan & tienen mi foto
Pero les voi a dar un consejo
Por algo estoy viejo ya no se agan tontos

Cada 6 años hay elecciones
Mexico es un pais de valores
Lo conosco frontera a frontera
Para ex presidente ya no hay relecciones
Son 6 años & no aprovecharon
Yo ya llevo 30 en el puesto señores

Hay quienes quieren comerse al mundo
Nomas porque train billetes gringos
Solamente les dire una cosa
Aqui sobresale lo humilde & sencillo
La riqueza se lleva en la mente
Sean inteligentes trabajen mas duro

Mi nombre no ocupo ni desirlo
Ya sabran de quien es el corrido
& Que quede muy bien aclarado
Yo no soy ahijado yo soy el padrino
Ranchero de botas & sombrero
Nos veremos luego yo ya me despido

Godfather's Ballad

I have always been a hardworking man
& Here I am with my head held high
In my ranch I ride my horse
& Through the trails my 4x4
I'm a rancher, I say proudly
& I'm a resident of Rancho El Salado

I don't handle violence
My strategy is to impose respect
If they offend me, I only defend myself
& Let it be clear, I don't let anyone
Betrayals or bad habits
I don't accept them on my lands

Life has given me good things
Also bad things that I don't forget
I have lost many friendships
Unfortunately, they lost their lives
But every blow of fate
Has made me stronger, they don't weaken me

Everyone knows my name & my nickname
& Few know my face
& Although there are already several publications
That supposedly are looking for me & have my photo
But I will give them advice
I am old for a reason, don't be foolish

Every 6 years there are elections
Mexico is a country of values
I know it from border to border
For ex-president there are no re-elections
It's 6 years & they didn't take advantage
I have been in office for 30 years, gentlemen

There are those who want to conquer the world
Just because they have American bills
I will only tell you one thing
Here what stands out is the humble & simple
Wealth is carried in the mind
Be smart, work harder

I don't need to say my name
You will know who the ballad is about
& Let it be very clear
I am not a godson, I am the godfather
Rancher with boots & hat
We will see each other later, I bid farewell
