People of El Chapo

Gente Del Chapo

Since I was a kidDesde que yo era chiquillo
I listened to his corridosEscuchaba sus corridos
And my father told me: That man is very refinedY me decía mi padre: Ese señor es muy fino
When he comes to the mountainsCuando viene pa' la sierra
He is always welcome hereAquí siempre es bienvenido
Because of him we have this house and this beloved little ranchPor él tenemos la casa y este ranchito querido

When we were poorCuando éramos pobrecitos
And the government turned a blind eyeY el gobierno se hacía el ciego
He was the one who helped usÉl fue el que nos dio la mano
That's why we thank himPor eso le agradecemos

That's how we are in the mountainsAsí somos en la sierra
A favor is never forgottenUn favor nunca se olvida
It's always repaid with interestSiempre se paga con creces
Even with life itselfHasta con la misma vida

That's why we protect himPor eso lo protegemos
Loyal and faithful foreverLeal y fiel es para siempre
We carry various calibersPortamos varios calibres
Warning, don't cross usAviso, no se atraviesen

So you don't have to wonder anymorePa' que ya no coman ansias
And know who I'm talking aboutY sepan de quién les hablo
His name is Joaquín GuzmánSu nombre es joaquín guzmán
Loera, also known as El ChapoLoera, alias El Chapo

He's short in statureEs bajito de estatura
The lord of the mountainsEl señor de la montaña
He escaped from Puente GrandeSe escapó de puente grande
And for a while sold orangesY un tiempo vendió naranjas

Being a powerful manPor ser hombre poderoso
He has many enemiesTiene muchos enemigos
But, if we countPero, si hacemos las cuentas
For every hundred, there are a thousand friendsPor cien, son mil los amigos

Persistence pays offEl que persevera, alcanza
God helps those who rise earlySi madrugas, Dios te ayuda
A great man is made through actionsCon hechos se hace el gran hombre
There's no doubt about thatDe eso no hay que tener duda

Don't be scared or surprisedNo se asusten ni se asombren
If we give our lives for himSi por él, damos la vida
That's what men doEso es lo que hacen los hombres
To protect their familyPa' proteger su familia
