Ballad of Santiago Meza

Corrido de Santiago Meza

if they want to hunt the preysi qieren cazar la presa
they must know how to reach ittienen qe zaber llegarle
they call him Santiago Mezale dicen santiago meza
to those who wanted to kill mea los qe qerian matarme

they believed it was a great beautyla creian mucha belleza
they couldn't catch itno pudieron atorarle
they wanted to assassinate meqisieron asesinarme
envy enveloped themla envidia los envolvio

and since I wouldn't let themy como no se dejarme
pleasure dissolved themel placer les disolvio
they tried to take awayno inteeten qerer qitarme
the life that God gave mela vida qe dios me dio

and he's coming cleany va llegando lavado
when bullets rained on mecuando me llovieron balas
and since I was unarmedy como iva desarmado
I put them in the armoredme las meti ala blindada

the windows were chippedlos vidrios despostillados
but none went throughpero ninguno pasaba
I chased them awayles pege una correteada
to return the favorpara el favor devolver

in my armored Cherokeeen mi cherokee blindada
I always have what I needahi siempre traigo con qe
but I couldn't catch thempero no los alcanzaba
they are good at runningzon buenos para correr

with the life I havecon una vida qe tengo
I pay what I owe and morepago las qe debo y sobra
I don't care if I offendno me importa si esqe ofendo
even though I have plenty of enemiesaunqe enemigos me sobra

but as soon as they see me comingpero nomas ven qe vengo
I scare them even with my shadowlos espanta hasta mi sombra
I have nothing to provenada tengo qe probar
but I demand respectpero doy a respetarme

from Culiacan's defensedifinesa culiacan
I often take tripsde seguido agarro viaje
finish to workfinish para trabajar
to Culiacan to strollculiacan para pasearme

I feel like drinkingtengo ganas de tomar
give me a glass of bucanasde bucanas denme vaso
the saddle to the generalel sille al general
the best of my horsesel mejor de mis caballos

when the band playsal oir la banda tocar
he starts walking aloneel solito agarra el paso
he likes to listen to the bandle gusta escuchar la banda
with my horses dancingcon mis caballos bailando

with a super beltcon una super fajadas
surrounded by my friendsde mis amiwos rodeados
women are never missinglas mujeres nunca faltan
because I am a loverporqe soy enamorado
