El Gringo

The Gringo

El Gringo

He's got blue eyesTiene los ojos azules
And a hellish gazeY una mirada infernal
He's a hired killerEs asesino por paga
A professional hitmanEs matón profesional
Everyone calls him The GringoTodos le dicen El Gringo
Even though he's from CuliacánAunque él es de Culiacán

To get rid of obstaclesPara eliminar estorbos
Several bosses hire himLo contratan varios jefes
He's highly pricedMuy caro está cotizado
Because he's a guarantee of deathPorque es garantía de muerte
Anyone who falls into his handsAquel que cae en sus manos
Luck never helps themNunca le ayuda a la suerte

The Gringo is smartEl Gringo es inteligente
He knows his job wellConoce bien su trabajo
How he deals with deathCómo trafica con muerte
The laws are after himLas leyes lo andan buscando
But they don't know what they're looking forPero no saben qué buscan
Because he never leaves a tracePorque nunca deja rastro

No one knows his nameNadie conoce su nombre
Let alone his last nameMucho menos su apellido
Because he's very distrustfulPorque él es muy desconfiado
He's never had a friendNunca ha tenido un amigo
They know he's from SinaloaSaben que es de Sinaloa
By his unmistakable accentPor su acento inconfundible

He's never been a traffickerNunca ha sido traficante
Just a hired assassinTan solo asesino a sueldo
He's famous among the big shotsEs famoso entre los grandes
Because he's very good at itPorque para eso es muy bueno
The mafia gives him the detailsLa mafia le da los datos
And he takes care of themY él se los quita de en medio

Here ends the balladAquí se acaba el corrido
Of the Gringo from CuliacánDel Gringo de Culiacán
Ask around for his codePor ahí pregunten su clave
If you're going to hire himSi es que lo van a ocupar
Get ready with green billsPreparen billetes verdes
Because that's what he'll chargePorque de eso va a cobrar
