El Tamal

The Tamale

El Tamal

The gun on his waist, and a tamale in his bootsLa pistola en la cintura, y en las botas un tamal
He was surrounded on the street, seven from the policeLo rodearon en la calle, siete de la judicial
They asked for the little bag, he didn't want to give it to themPidieron la bolsita, el no se la quiso dar

As they pointed fingers at him, they surrounded his truck wellComo le pusieron dedo, le rodearon bien la troca
The commander shouted, we know you're carrying cokeEl comandante gritaba, sabemos que cargas coca
Don't make this case big, start taking off your bootEl caso no lo hagas grande, ve quitándote la bota

Juan Manuel replied, I won't back down from bringing itJuan manuel le contesto, de traerla no me rajo
I know you also like it, I gladly share itYo se que también le gusta, con gusto yo la comparto
But if you want it all, I'll fight with your menPero si la quiere toda, con sus hombres yo me mato

With the gun in hand, and the finger on the triggerCon la pistola en la mano, y el dedo en el gatillo
They noticed in his gaze, he was a determined manNotaron en su mirada, que rea un hombre decidido
Because they had him surrounded, but he looked calmPorque lo tenían rodeado, pero se veía tranquilo

I don't make deals with crooks, and hand over the tamaleNo hago trato con mañosos, y entrégame el tamal
Don't resist, you'll have a very bad timeNo te pongas resistente, la vas a pasar muy mal
Before he could continue, Juan shot himAntes de que continuara, un balazo le dio juan

The agents fired, but not accuratelyLos agentes dispararon, pero no con puntería
They didn't catch Juan, he escaped that dayA juan no lo detuvieron, se les escapo ese día
The commander is dead, over a tamale he wantedEl comandante esta muerto, por un tamal que quería
