El Cuate

The Buddy

El Cuate

He learned to work in the mountainsAprendio a trabajar en la sierra
His teacher was his own fatherSu maestro fue su propio padre
From a very young age, he worked the landDe muy chico labraba la tierra
Bravery ran in his bloodLo valiente lo traiia en la sangre
Years later, he left his ranchA los años salio de su rancho
A man with great aspirationsHombre de aspiraciones muy grandez

He started in the business fullyEmpezo en el negocio de lleno
Soon enough, he became heavy-handedLuego luego llego a ser pesado
Power always provokes envyEl poder siempre provoca envidias
And they sent him to the Marias IslandsY a las islas marias lo mandaro
He fulfilled his duties like a true manLes cumplio como los meros hombres
And came out clean and more preparedY salio limpio y mas preparado

He returned to work in the same placeRegreso a trabajar en lo mismo
And regained his groundY volvio a recobrar su terreno
Very straightforward in his negotiationsMuy derecho en sus negociaciones
That's why he became the good one againPor eso es que volvio a ser el bueno
His way of being made him greatSu manera de ser lo hacia grande
He was fierce and at the same time sereneEra bravo y a las vez sereno

(and up Chihuahua cousin)(y arriva chihuahua primo)

His passion was luxury carsSu pasion eran carros de lujo
Women and also weaponsLas mujeres y tambien las armas
Money fulfilled his whimsEl dinero le cumplia caprichos
He was a man of long careerEra un hombre de carrera larga
But he never partied alonePero nunca se enfiestaba solo
Always with the crew and the bandSiempre con la plebada y la banda

The little ranch is called San FranciscoSan francisco se llama el ranchito
In Chihuahua, the largest stateEn chihuahua el estado mas grande
Right there this little rooster was bornAhi mero nacio este gallito
And he knew how to live his lifeY que supo su vida rifarse
Proud to be from the mountainsOrgulloso de ser de la sierra
And of his great teacher, his fatherY de su gran maestro su padre

Betrayal is the curse of the braveLa traicion es el mal de valientes
Says a saying that is very trueDice un dicho que es muy verdadero
You can't trust peopleNose puede confiar en la jente
Buddy, rest in heavenCompa cuate descansa en el cielo
Surely you're still partying up thereDe seguro aya sigues de fiesta
