Los Compas de Almoloya

The Comrades of Almoloya

Los Compas de Almoloya

That prison of AlmoloyaEsa prision de almoloya
Has caused a lot to talk aboutA dado mucho ke hablar
Because it has locked up the great onesPor ke a encerrado a los grandes
Of international fameDe fama internacional
Not all who are there areNo estan todos los ke son
Nor are all who are thereNi son todos los ke estan

Who will go out?Kienes iran a salir?
Or who else will arrive?O kienes mas llegaran?
The laws aloneLas leyes unicamente
Know what will happenSaben lo ke va a pasar
The drug lords are like the dollarLos narcos son como el dolar
Every day they rise moreDia kon dia suben mas

To the comradesA los compas
Of AlmoloyaDe almoloya
I dedicate this corridoLes dedico este corrido
Don't be discouraged my comradesNo se me aguiten mis compas
There's not so much danger thereAya no hay tanto peligro
Here things are heating upAqui la cosa esta ke arde
Thank God they are aliveGracias a dios ke estan vivos

The snitch opens his mouthEl soplon abre la boca
And everything goes to wasteY todo se echa a perder
That's how the great ones have fallenAsi an caido los grandes
Into the hands of the lawEn las manos de la ley
They follow the beeSe van sigiendo la abeja
Until they reach the honeyHasta llegar a la miel

The rooster crows if it's a roosterEl gallo canta si es gallo
No matter the area or the climateNo importa el area o el clima
Even if he's locked upAunke se encuentra encerrado
His voice doesn't go out of tuneSu voz no se desafina
The tone he used outsideEl tono ke usaba afuera
He still masters insideAdentro igual lo domina

To those who todayA los ke hoy
Are imprisonedSe encuentran presos
In different citiesEn diferentes ciudades
We send them a greetingLes mandamos un saludo
Lizarraga and the toucansLizarraga y los tucanes
There's no date that doesn't comeNo hay fecha ke no se llegue
Soon they will be out to sing to youPronto saldran pa'cantarles
