Carrera Prohibida

Forbidden Race

Carrera Prohibida

It takes courageSe necesita valor
To get into smugglingPara entrarle al contrabando
Courage is what they have plenty ofValor es lo que les sobra
The people from DurangoA la gente de durango
Just look at the countHay no mas a que en la cuenta
How many are workingCuantos andan trabajando

In the United StatesEn los estados unidos
There's a lot of money rollingRola bastante dinero
That's why us MexicansPor eso los mejicanos
Negotiate with the white folksNegociamos con los güeros
From Durango and SinaloaDe durango y sinaloa
We send them the sheepLes mandamos los borregos

I don't like to give my nameNo me gusta dar mi nombre
Because of my forbidden racePor mi carrera prohibida
But I'm from DurangoPero yo soy de durango
And whoever gets offended can sayY el que se ofenda que diga
I carry a little toyPor ahi traigo un juguetito
That makes anyone kneelQue cualquiera se arrodilla

The people who accompany meLa gente que me acompaña
Have courage and the good kindTiene valor y del bueno
They always risk their livesSiempre se rifan la vida
No matter the terrainSin importar el terreno
And even in dangerY aunque anden en el peligro
They're not scared off their dreamsNo se les espanta el sueño

Don't judge by sizeNo se guien por el tamaño
They can lose their livesLa vida pueden perder
Many have made mistakesVarios se han equivocado
For not knowing me wellPor no conocerme bien
Wherever I goDonde quiera me paseo
With one woman or anotherCon una y otra mujer

To cheer up the crewPara alegrarme la banda
To put a lady to sleepPara dormir una dama
For my friends, my handPa' mis amigos mi mano
For the cowards, my squadPa' los cobardes mi escuadra
For my nose, a sighPa' mi nariz un suspiro
And a drink for my throatY un trago pa mi garganta
