La Santa Muerte

The Holy Death

La Santa Muerte

Many claim to be braveMuchos dicen ser valientes
Difficult in these timesDificil en estos tiempos
Don't be playing around, my peopleNo anden jugando mi gente
With the mother of the deadCon la madre de los muertos
The one who adorns the altarsLa que adorna los altares
They worship her at funeralsLe adoran en los cepelios

The holy death in styleLa santa muerte de moda
I write and respect herYo la escrecio y la respeto
Some light candlesUnos ponen veladoras
Others throw away their beliefsOtros se avienta los credos
She's the only one who never failsEs la unica que no falla
The most secure we haveMas segura que tenemos

Big list in CuliacanLista grande en culiacan
Contracts coming dueContratos en vecimiento
She appears at all hoursSe aparece a toda hora
Outside the rulesFuera de los reglamentos
Camouflaged in a gunCamuflajiada en pistola
She doesn't measure rank or positionsNo mide rango ni puetos

Bullets causing massacresBalas haciendo masacres
Wherever she walksPor donde va caminando
Strolling through the streetsPasiandose por la calles
Shooting and selectingTirando y seleccionando
Life between battlesLa vida entre los combates
She gambles on a coin tossSe las juega en un volado

When she passed, they tormented herCuando paso la toriaron
She didn't take long to returnNo se tardo en regresar
In black and white attireEl atuendo negro y blanco
Just like the one on the altarTal como la del altar
With the scythe in handCon la guada en la mano
What more could you expect?Que mas se podia esperar

Don't get tangled upNo se jalen enrredados
One becomes strongerEl uno se hace mas fuerte
It doesn't matter if you're closeDa igual junto con pegado
Or suddenly drop deadQue a morirse de repente
Among those who crossed herEntre los que se pasaron
Innocents also goTambien se van inocentes

Don't forgetNo se le vaya olvidar
The little saint from SinaloaEl santito sinaloense
The altar is in CuliacanEl altar es culiacan
The trend is the holy deathLa moda la santa muerte
She won't forgiveElla no va a perdonar
Even if the altar is right in frontAunque este el altar enfrente
