La Imagén de Malverde

The Image of Malverde

La Imagén de Malverde

A well-dressed young manUn jóven muy bien vestido
In cowboy attire and a cowboy hatDe vaquero y con tejana
With several gold ringsCon varios anillos de oro y
And a slave bracelet on his wristEn su muñeca una esclava
And an image of MalverdeY una imagen de malverde
Hanging around his neckEn su cuello trae colgada

A green truckUna troca color verde
Securely protectedCon clavo bien protegido
With glass and cocaineDe cristal y cocaína
It holds 36 kilosLe caben 36 kilos
He's coming to cross through JuarezPor juarez viene a cruzar
Very confident in himselfMuy seguro de sí mismo

Upon reaching the checkpointAl llegar a la garita
He gives a little kiss to the imageLe da un besito a la imagén
He says to Jesus MalverdeLe dice a jesús malverde
Here is where you must help meAki es dónde has de ayudarme
In advance, thank you very muchDe antemano muchas gracias
I know you won't abandon meSe que no has de abandonarme

They asked for his papersLe pidierón sus papeles
He showed them very calmlySe los mostro muy trankilo
And the immigrant saidY le dijo el emigrante
Where are you headed, my friend?Para dónde va mi amigo
I'm heading to San AntonioMe dirijo a san antonio
Because that's where I livePor que alla es dónde yo vivo

May God bless youPasa que dios te bendiga
And have a safe journeyY que tengas un buen viaje
With a little smileY con una sonrisita
The drug trafficker passedPaso el narcotraficante
And discreetlyY también discretamente
He kissed the image againVolvio a besar a la imagén

While in CuliacanMientras alla en culiacán
A mother brings rosesUna madre lleva rosas
To the image of MalverdeA la imagén de malverde
And her faith is very powerfulY su fé es muy poderosa
She prays for her sonElla pide por su hijo
That things go well for himQue le salgan bien las cosas

Malverde is miraculousQue malverde es milagroso
Once again it has been provenOtra vez se ha comprobado
He can carry againPueda cargar nuevamente
He is back on the marketYa se encuentra en el mercado
And a young man in CuliacanY un jóven en culiacán
Has prepared another tripOtro viaje a preparado
