The Indian Is Not to Blame

No Tiene La Culpa El Indio

The Indian is not to blameNo tiene la culpa el indio
But the one who makes him a buddySino el que lo hace compadre
Many were up thereMuchos andaban arriba
And I was starvingY yo muriéndome de hambre
Some were eating the honeyUnos se comían las mieles
And I was dealing with the swarmY yo toreaba el enjambre

A friend taught meA mí me enseñó un amigo
When I was in ruinCuando andaba yo en la ruina
Good shade sheltersBuena sombra le cobija
Those who approach a good treeAl que a buen árbol se arrima
Not out of fear of coyotesNo por miedo a los coyotes
We won't raise chickensNo vamos a criar gallinas

They say there are tricks for everythingDicen que pa' todo hay mañas
Much less for deathMucho menos pa' la muerte
I put a lot of effortYo le puse muchas ganas
That's why my luck changedPor eso cambió mi suerte
Many ask me for favorsMuchos me piden favores
Because I am very influentialPorque soy muy influyente

From Mexico to EuropeDe México para Europa
I go but all the timeYo voy pero a cada rato
In the city of MadridEn la ciudad de Madrid
I have very good contactsTengo muy buenos contactos
Some Colombian buddiesUnos compas colombianos
With whom I make good dealsCon los que hago buenos tratos

Through Tijuana and MexicaliPor Tijuana y Mexicali
Through Juarez and other bordersPor Juárez y otras fronteras
I have passed by airLes he pasado por aire
And undergroundY por debajo de tierra
Maybe that's why the foxSerá que por eso el zorro
Has declared war on meMe ha declarado la guerra

Now they call me: BossAhora me llaman: Jefe
Because I am a big bullPorque soy un toro grande
But there are many little calvesPero hay muchos novillitos
Who have jumped the fenceQue se han brincado el alambre
Black spotted calvesBecerros pintos de negro
Here I feed themAquí yo les quito el hambre

The day this rooster fallsEl día que caiga este gallo
A storm will come down on themLes va a caer una tromba
It's better not to mess with meMás vale que no me toquen
Because the bomb will explode on themPorque les truena la bomba
I swear to those who back downEl que se raje les juro
There will be nowhere to hideQue no habrá donde se esconda
