I never thought this would happenNunca pensé que esto pasaría
That he would take his lifeQue se quitara la vida
Araujo was his last nameAraujo era su apellido
Gonzalo his first nameGonzalo el nombre de pila
Known as ChaloConocido como chalo
Many people loved himMucha gente lo quería

He was a gunman for Don EmilioFue pistolero de don emilio
The baron of BabunicaEl barón de babunica
Very close to ZambadaMuy amigo de zambada
El Chapo and many othersDel chapo y de mucha clika
He was one of the most wantedEra de lo mas buscados
The press said soLa prensa así lo desia

On the street, they always saw himEn la calle siempre lo miraban
Armored and in caravansBlindado y en carabanas
Heading to January 6thCon rumbo ala 6 de enero
And also to Tierra BlancaY también por tierra blanca
Taking care of his landsCuidando bien sus terrenos
To defend his peoplePa defender a su raza

He always liked fine cattleSiempre le gusto el ganado fino
I mean, womenMe refiero alas mujeres
There are rumors aroundPor ay se escuchan rumores
That he stole many heartsQue se robo muchas plebes
It's known of several childrenSe sabe de varios hijos
He had with his lovesQue tubo con sus quereres

To my friends, I leave the taskA mis amigos dejo el encargo
Never forget ChaloNunca se olviden de chalo
When you remember meCuando se acuerden de mi
Play the band for a whileLlevemen la banda un rato
To remember the good timesPa recordar las pistiadas
Where I enjoyed myselfDonde la pase gozando

Los Canelos made him a corridoLos canelos le hicieron corrido
About the mafia lifeEl de la vida mafiosa
That's how he liked to liveAsí le gusto vivir
Always in dangerTodo el tiempo peligrosa
Goodbye Rancho BabunicaAdiós rancho babunica
And also BamopaY también el de bamopa

Oh, here's your corrido, old manOh le va viejon su corrido
Sitting on a cooler, listening to a corridoSentado en una hielera y escuchando un corrido
Taking a sip from a chivo horn surrounded by my friendsLe jalo a un cuerno de chivo rodiado de mis amigos
With the verses, he remembered everything he had been in life.Con los versos recordaba todo lo ke en vida eh sido.
