El Perico Y La Plebada

I don't know much about himYo no se mucho de el
As soon as they introduced himEn cuanto lo presentaron
My buddy could seeSe le miraba mi compa
That the old man wasn't lazyQue el viejon no era dejado
And upon learning the storyY al conocer yo la historia
I was also amazedTambien me quede asombrado

When a man got caughtCuando se encaño un hombre
More to save his skinMas pa salvar el pellejo
You have to be cold-bloodedAhi que ser de sangre fria
My buddy is one of thoseMi compa es uno de esos
They call him the parrotEl perico asi le apodan
He jumps on any terrainLes brinca en cualquier terreno

The cross of notes eradicatedLa cruz de nota erradico
The little sands I rememberLas arenitas recuerdo
I was imprisoned in CuliacanPreso estuve en cualiacan
I have experience of thatTengo experiencia de eso
I was also a great fishermanTambien fui un gran pescador
This is not a lie, it's trueNo es mentira esto es cierto

Compadre Juan, you're a roosterCompadre juan eres gallo
You are esteemed and appreciatedSe te estima y se te aprecia
Also my buddy SamuelTambien mi compa samuel
With the puye that he sentencesCon el puye que asentecia

And to the million whatever is offeredY al millon lo que se ofrezca

When it's time to cross the lineCuando hay que brincar la linea
They just arrive at the borderNo mas llegan la frontera

Leaving a trail of dustDejan una polvadera
