El Comandante de La Torre

The Tower's Commander

El Comandante de La Torre

He who owes nothing fears nothingEl ke nada debe nada teme
That's what the commander used to sayAsi decia el comandante
It was the phrase he usedEra la frase ke usaba
Alfredo de la Torre MárquezAlfredo de la torre marquez
The police directorEl director policiaco
Of the biggest borderDe la frontera mas grande

In a suburban he was aloneEn una suburban iva solo
With his R-15 and his squadCon su r-15 y su escuadra
It was Sunday and his escort rested those daysEra domingo y su escolta en esos dias descansaba
That's why that SundayPor eso es ke ese domingo
They set up the ambushLe pusieron la emboscada

They didn't give him timeNo le dieron tiempo
For anythingPara nada
Everything happened very suddenlyTodo fue muy derrepente
The killers fledLos asesinos hulleron
After finishing off the bossDespues de rematar al jefe
That's how the commander diedAsi murio el comandante
By a death squadPor un commando de muerte

Always dedicatedEntregado siempre
To workAl trabajo
A true police officerTodo un señor policia
A pride for TijuanaPara tijuana un orgullo
And for all his familyY para toda su familia
Any heavy problem Alfredo would solveCualkier problema pesado alfredo lo resolbia

They played dirtyLe jugaron chueco
CommanderComandante
But what a lack of couragePero ke poca madera
Just to stirSolo para revolverle
The water for those at the borderEl agua a los de la frontera
You trusted too much in people knowing how big you wereConfiaste mucho en la gente sabiendo lo grande ke eras

Goodbye commanderAdios comandante
Of the towerDe la torre
Tijuana may avenge youTijuana podra vengarte
You did a lot for herTu hiciste mucho por ella
Now it's time for her to pay you backAhora le toca pagarte
SoAsi es ke
Don't worry, rest in peace commanderNo te preocupes descansa en paz comandante
