El Hijo Mayor

The Eldest Son

El Hijo Mayor

Live from Hermosillo, Sonora of the corridonesEn vivo desde Hermosillo, Sonora de los corridones
The Eldest Son with the big band, come on, old man!El Hijo Mayor con la bandona, ¡jálese, viejo!

You no longer see passing byYa no se mira pasar
That black Camaro through the streetsEse Camaro negro por las calles
In a party with his peopleEn verguiza con su gente
Many will remember him, I know they will miss himVarios lo recordarán, sé que lo extrañarán
Just as he was, his fast-paced wayAsí, como era su modo acelerado
Bold and very braveAtrabancado y muy valiente

In the mountains, where he spent his timeEn la sierra, donde la pasaba
And relaxed by smoking a jointY se desestresaba fumándose un gallo
But always alert, in case something comes upPero bien águila, por si sale algún pendiente
Sports cars, trucks, the tough onesDeportivos, camiones, las duras
The short and long ones he carriedLas cortas y largas con las que portaba
In case needed, in case something comes upPor si se ocupa, por si sale algún pendiente

He was addicted to adrenalineEra adicto a la adrenalina
It was what activated himEra lo que lo activaba
And he made things happen in the heat of the momentY sacaba el jale en caliente
In the convoy, all 'suicidal'En el convoy, puro' suicida'
Ready to shootListos pa' tirar vergazos
They didn't think twiceNo la pensaban dos veces

By now, you will know who I'm talking aboutA estas alturas, ya sabrán de quién les hablo
His name, I can't even mention itSu nombre, no puedo ni mencionarlo
I was the eldest son of that well-known manYo fui el hijo mayor de aquel señor tan mentado

Up Sonora, buddyArriba Sonora, compadre
With much respectCon mucho respeto

A thousand stories to tellMil historias que contar
Much to talk aboutMucho para platicar
They are memories that are only recordedSon recuerdos que solo quedan grabados
In the memory of his peopleEn la memoria de su gente

Man with a commanding voiceHombre con la voz de mando
Shooting, like the devil himselfDisparando, el mismo diablo
Always leading his commandSiempre al frente su comando
And in the mountains, how many battles we wonY, en la sierra, cuántas batallas ganamos

Ah, how we shot bulletsAh, cómo echamos balazos
With very good equipmentCon muy buenos aparatos
And in my dad's company, there's plenty for that and moreY, en la empresa de mi apá, hay pa' eso y más
But he didn't know what was comingMas no sabía lo que le esperaba
A bad move suddenly arrivedUna mala jugada de pronto llegaba
But that's life, suddenly it's gonePero así es la vida, de repente se nos va

He was addicted to adrenalineEra adicto a la adrenalina
It was what activated himEra lo que lo activaba
And he made things happen in the heat of the momentY sacaba el jale en caliente
In the convoy, all 'suicidal'En el convoy, puro suicida
Ready to shootListos pa' tirar vergazos
They didn't think twiceNo la pensaban dos veces

By now, you will know who I'm talking aboutA estas alturas, ya sabrán de quién les hablo
His name, I can't even mention itSu nombre, no puedo ni mencionarlo
I was the eldest son of that well-known manYo fui el hijo mayor de aquel señor tan mentado
