El Manny Flores

He's a very calm manEs un hombre muy tranquilo
But also very bravePero tambien muy valiente
He's moving his kilos aroundAnda moviendo sus kilos
Working at 120Trabajando al 120

With his people and his friendsCon su gente y sus amigos
He stays up all nightCadarrato se amanece
Listening to his corridosEscuchando sus corridos
And spending moneyY derrochando billetes

He was born over there in DurangoEs nacido alla en durando
Land of great storiesTierra de grandes e historias
A man very much in loveHombre muy enamorado
Always with a different girlfriendSiempre trae distinta novia

He's always seen surroundedTambien lo mirar rodeado
By his supportive peopleDe su gente que lo apoya
All very well dressedTodos muy bien arreglados
Elegant and stylishElegantes y ala moda

They've tried to kill himHan querido darle muerte
But they've been wrongPero se han equivocado
They've had bad luckHan tenido mala suerte
They've messed with the devilCon el diablo se han topado

The Duranguense is very fierceEs muy bravo el duranguense
He hasn't forgiven themNo se las a perdonado
So 2 or 3 timesAsi que 2 o 3 veces
He's shot his gunSu pistola a disparado

'Here goes, buddy Manny'hay le va compa manny
And up Durango, cousin'Y arriba durango primo'

When the businesses growCuando los negocios crecen
The envious ones don't missLos envidiosos no faltan
Beware of those peopleCuidado con esa gente
They're just like still watersSon igual que el agua mansa

They betray you suddenlyTe traicionan derrepente
See how they areYa ven como se las gastan
You have to confront them head-onHay que buscarles la frente
If they stab you in the backSi ellos te buscan la espalda

I don't have anyone to boss me aroundYo no tengo quien me mande
I work on my ownYo trabajo por mi cuenta
I don't answer to anyoneNo me reporto con nadie
I'm the boss of my companySoy el jefe de mi empresa

My crew doesn't back downMi plebada no se raje
We have to distribute the merchandiseHay que repartir la merca
Four shipments have arrivedYa llegaron 4 viajes
2 of powder and 2 of herb2 de polvo y 2 de hierva
