R. Uno

R. One

R. Uno

The ember was smokingEstaba humeando el tizón
And they wanted to make brothY es que querían poner caldo
I'm going to sing a balladVoy a cantar un corrido
That they won't be able to forgetQue no podrán olvidarlo
They were stoking the ovenY es que atizaban el horno
Of the devil's boilerDe la caldera del diablo

The voice of R-One was heardSe oyó la voz de R-Uno
One Sunday morningUn domingo en la mañana
When he told his peopleCuando le dijo a su gente
Let's go pick applesVamos a pizcar manzana
Here's a preview for youAhí les dejo un anticipo
And see you in ChihuahuaY nos vemos en Chihuahua

In the press they publishedEn la prensa publicaron
From a source in an embassyPor fuente de una embajada
On a ranch in the desertEn un rancho del desierto
There in Buffalo, ChihuahuaAllá en Búfalo, Chihuahua
There were ten thousand tonsHabía diez mil toneladas
Of the famous appleDe la famosa manzana

The FBI was seenSe miró el FBI
In the mentioned placesEn los lugares mentados
Also many federal agentsTambién muchos federales
And some deceived menY unos hombres engañados
But the famous R-OnePero al famoso R-Uno
Even the soldiers didn't find himNi los soldados lo hallaron

Love is dangerousEl amor es peligroso
Here it was provenAquí quedó comprobado
Because of pretty eyesPor unos ojos bonitos
They were tightening the nooseLa soga le iban pisando
They found him in Costa RicaLo hallaron en Costa Rica
In a very expensive castleEn un castillo muy caro

The situation is seriousEl horno no está pa' bollos
It smells of sulfur from hellHuele a azufre del infierno
They accuse him of many thingsLo acusan de muchas cosas
I'm almost believing itCasi me lo estoy creyendo
I only see one stepYo no miro más que un paso
From the boiler to hellDe la caldera al infierno
