Rafael Caro Quintero
En San Jose, Costa Rica
lo tomaron prisionero
ya se extendio la noticia
por todito el mundo entero
asi el corrido comienza
del señor Caro Quintero
Diez agentes federales
le formaron la custodia
por ser un gallo muy fino
nacido alla en Sinaloa
de esos no nacen a diario
y el que nace no se logra
Por matar un policia
del gobierno americano
robarse una tapatia
hoy se encuentra procesado
el leon es rey de las fieras
aunque se encuentre enjaulado
Dicen que quieren juzgarlo
los gringos alla en sus lares
nada mas para llevarlo
las manos van a sudarles
se me hace que van a hacerle
lo que el aire le hizo a Juarez
Rafael Caro Quintero
ya esta en su patria otra vez
si creen que ya lo ha medido
de la cabeza a los pies
pa' que lo quieren los gringos
si este no canta en ingles
La fiera ya esta enjaulada
pero se oyen los rugidos
alla por la madrugada
sus deseos seran cumplidos
echese a huir la manada
si es que quieren quedar vivos.
Rafael Caro Quintero
In San Jose, Costa Rica
they took him prisoner
the news has spread
throughout the whole world
so the corrido begins
of Mr. Caro Quintero
Ten federal agents
formed his custody
for being a very fine rooster
born there in Sinaloa
those are not born daily
and the one that is born is not achieved
For killing a police officer
from the American government
stealing a woman from Guadalajara
today he is being prosecuted
the lion is king of the beasts
even if he is caged
They say they want to judge him
the gringos over there in their lands
just to take him away
their hands will sweat
I think they are going to do to him
what the wind did to Juarez
Rafael Caro Quintero
is back in his homeland
if they think they have measured him
from head to toe
why do the gringos want him
if he doesn't sing in English
The beast is already caged
but the roars are heard
there in the early morning
their desires will be fulfilled
the herd will flee
if they want to stay alive.
