The Cat from Chihuahua

El Gato De Chihuahua

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

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

You're just a bundle of nervesSon puros nervios los tuyos
'Cause I haven't seen a thingPorque yo no he visto nada
That's what I told my brotherAsí le dije a mi hermano
To help him feel at easePara que hicieran confianza

I knew they had me surroundedSabía que estaba rodeado
And were tapping my callsE interceptaban llamadas
They didn't come for me right awayNo entraron pronto por mí
To see who else would show upPara ver quien más llegaba

But they fell asleep on the jobPero se les durmió el gallo
I slipped out in the early morningMe pelé en la madrugada

There were 15 DEA agentsEran 15 hombres del DEA
Their mission was to catch meSu misión era agarrarme
I'm slicker than a catSoy más astuto que un gato
That’s something I could prove to themEso pude comprobarles

When they go inCuando ellos van
I’m already coming outYo ya vengo
I was a commander tooTambién yo fui comandante

When they saw no one showed upAl ver que nadie llegó
They gave the order to enterDieron la orden para entrar

When they broke down the doorsCuando tumbaron las puertas
Feds were falling backCaian federales pa' trá'
I set up some grenadesLes coloqué unas granadas
In a special wayEn una forma especial

It was all a big messTodo fue una confusión
With those explosionsPor aquellas explosiones
The house was ablazeLa casa encendida en llamas
It looked like daytime at nightParecía de día la noche

By then I was inPara ese entonces yo andaba
Juárez, gentlemenEn ciudad Juárez, señores

Don’t think this is the first timeNo crean que es la primer vez
I’ve slipped away right in front of themQue me les pelo en su cara
I escaped from San QuintínMe escapé de San Quintín
From Corcoran and other cagesDe Corcoran y otras jaulas

I’m waiting for them in the mountainsLos espero por la sierra
I’m the cat from ChihuahuaSoy el gato de Chihuahua
