El Gato De Chihuahua

Brother, the law fellHermano, cayó la ley
Your house is surroundedEstá rodeada tu casa

Brother, the law fellHermano, cayó la ley
Your house is surroundedEstá rodeada tu casa

Yours are just nervesSon puros nervios los tuyos
Because I haven't seen anythingPorque yo no he visto nada
That's what I told my brotherAsí le dije a mi hermano
So they would trust mePara que hicieran confianza

I knew I was surroundedSabía que estaba rodeado
And they were intercepting callsE interceptaban llamadas
They didn't come in for me right awayNo entraron pronto por mí
To see who else was arrivingPara ver quien más llegaba

But they were caught off guardPero se les durmió el gallo
I slipped away in the early morningMe pelé en la madrugada

There were 15 DEA menEran 15 hombres del DEA
Their mission was to catch meSu misión era agarrarme
I'm smarter than a catSoy más astuto que un gato
I was able to prove that to themEso pude comprobarles

When they goCuando ellos van
I'm already goneYo ya vengo
I was also a commanderTambién yo fui comandante

Seeing that no one arrivedAl ver que nadie llegó
They gave the order to enterDieron la orden para entrar

When they knocked down the doorsCuando tumbaron las puertas
Federal agents came inCain federales pa' tra
I placed some grenades for themLes coloqué unas granadas
In a special wayEn una forma especial

It was all a confusionTodo fue una confusión
Because of those explosionsPor aquellas explosiones
The house lit up in flamesLa casa encendida en llamas
It seemed like day in the nightParecía de día la noche

By that time I wasPara ese entonces yo andaba
In Ciudad Juárez, gentlemenEn ciudad Juárez, señores

Don't think it's the first timeNo crean que es la primer vez
That I slip away in front of themQue me les pelo en su cara
I escaped from San QuintínMe escapé de San Quintín
After years in cagesDe por años en jaulas

I'll be waiting for them in the mountainsLos espero por la sierra
I'm the cat of ChihuahuaSoy el gato de Chihuahua
