El Diablo de Culiacan

The Devil of Culiacan

El Diablo de Culiacan

I don't even know how to explain itNo sé ni cómo explicarlo
What I'm going to tell youLo que les voy a contar
At the door of my houseEn la puerta de mi casa
Satan appearedSe apareció satanás
He said you are surroundedMe dijo tú estas rodeado
Now they are going to kill youAhora te van a matar

I was weighing thingsYo estaba pesando cosas
Kilos that I had packagedKilos que había empaquetado
The sirens went offSe prendieron las sirenas
They said you are surroundedDijeron estas rodeado
Come out with your hands upSal con las manos en alto
Or you'll be shotSi no serás balaceado

At the moment they warned meAl momento de advertirme
That they wanted to catch meQue me querían agarrar
He said I have a deal for youMe dijo te tengo un trato
I know you're from CuliacanSe que eres de culiacán
I'll give you eternal lifeTe entregare vida eterna
But you have to signPero tienes que firmar

He was well dressedEl andaba bien vestido
His boots were ostrichDe avestruz eran sus botas
Two guns on his beltDos pistolas en el cinto
And the grips were redY las cachas eran rojas
With diamonds the devil saidCon diamantes decía el diablo
From Culiacan, SinaloaDe culiacán sinaloa

I know they are going to kill meSé que me van a matar
And I wouldn't want to dieY no quisiera morirme
He said sign the paperMe dijo firma la hoja
And right now I'll set you freeY ahorita yo te hare libre
He took out his gunEl se saco su pistola
And went firmly against themContra ellos se fue de firme

As it was an incredible thingComo era cosa increíble
I had to make the sign of the crossMe tuve que persignar
He finished off those peopleAcabo con esa gente
He shot them in the foreheadEn la frente les fue a dar
He turned around and came to meDio vuelta y llego conmigo
And I had to signY le tuve que firmar

Now I'm a very rich manAhora soy hombre muy rico
And I'm 300 years oldY tengo 300 años
I'm a man with a lot of magicSoy hombre con mucha magia
And I traffic everywhereY trafico en todos lados
The things I sellLas cosas que yo les vendo
All are sent to me by the devilTodas me las manda el diablo

With this I say goodbyeYa con esta me despido
And I'm going to celebrateY me voy a festejar
I go to my beloved ranchVoy a mi rancho querido
What I say to CuliacanQue le digo a culiacán
Where the real devil livesDonde vive el mero diablo
Hell is CuliacanEl infierno es culiacán
