El Rescate

The Rescue

El Rescate

The afternoon, the humidity, and the warmth were felt up in the mountains, I was at a little ranchLa tarde la humedad y el calorcito se sentían allá en la sierra me encontraba en un ranchito
I backed up the Cherokee, the boss with his family, and I was keeping a close watchMetí la cherokona de reversa el patrón con su familia y yo cuidando bien alerta

The general sounds off, you can hear the reportSuena el general, se oye reportar
Four fast ones, heading their wayCuatro rápidas, pa' su rumbo van
We took off in a hurry and jumped into the armored trucks, taking back roadsEn caliente nos salimos y a las blindadas subimos, por veredas tomamos caminos

The old man driving as fast as he could, had to be a badass to handle that armored rideEl viejo piloteando a lo que daba tenía que ser una riata para manejar blindada
The downpour hit us hard, and with the weight of the truck, it almost flipped overSe vino el aguacero de bajada y por el peso de la troca por poquito se volteaba

They saw us pass, the guys from the SemarNos vieron pasar, los de la Semar
And on that radio, the signal was fadingY en el radio aquel, se iba la señal
The 14 was on its way, I was getting my Norinco ready, had ammo to take a shotLa 14 iba en camino yo alistaba mi norinco traía parque pa pe'garme un t'iro

The train started moving, a little ahead, his wife was calling, I need to talk to youEl tren se empezó más adelantito le iba marcando su esposa, necesito hablar contigo
If I don’t make it out alive, you know, take good care of my kidsDeje de estallados saldrá vivo ya sabes si no regreso cuidame mucho a mis hijos

I started firing back, responded to the heatEmpecé a tirar, respondí a lo fal
I couldn’t go down, I had to escapeNo podía caer, tenía que escapar
His guys showed up, eight backup trucks, the boss came out, and we kept fightingLe llegaron sus muchachos ocho trocas de respaldo salió el jefe y seguimos p'eleando

In gratitude to his boys, for being loyal to the man, giving their lives without a second thoughtEn agradecimiento a sus chavalos, por ser fieles con el hombre y dan su vida sin pensarlo
They had to surrender on orders, and now they’re out, that crew is still activeTuvieron que entregarse por encargo y ahora se encuentran afuera y sigue activo ese comando

I saw the man raise a glass, for his freedomVi al señor brindar, por su libertad
Now we celebrate, he started to rememberAhora festejo, se empezó a acordar
We laughed and joked, because we all made it out, the important thing is that The Old Man is safe.Nos reímos y bromeamos, porque todos la libramos lo importante es que El Viejo está a salvo
