Ocho Kilos de Goma

Eight Kilos of Rubber

Ocho Kilos de Goma

And don't go burning the race, comradeY no ande quemando a la raza camarada

With eight kilos of rubber in Villa Union they caught meCon ocho kilos de goma en villa union me agarraron
I had it well stuck in my hat and bootsLa llevaba bien clavada en mi sombrero y las botas
That's why the federal agents couldn't find anything in my truckPor eso los federales no hallaban nada en mi troca

They put me on the ramp and went underneathMe subieron en la rampa y se metieron debajo
No matter how much they searched, they didn't find the drugsPor mas que la revisaron la droga no la encontraron
The commander, annoyed, soon interrogated meEl comandante molesto lueguito me interrogaba

Where are you walking with those fancy boots?Usted pa' donde camina con esas botas tan finas
Tell me your name and what you doDigame cual es su nombre tambien a que se dedica
With the hat and boots, you look like an artistCon el sombrero y las botas parece que eres artista

I told the commander I'm a vocalist in a bandLe conteste al comandante de un grupo soy vocalista
And I'm going to El Espinal to pick up my wifeY voy para el espinal a recoger a mi esposa
The commander told me to take off my bootsEl comandante me dijo que me quitara las botas

As I bent down a little, my hat fell offAl agacharme poquito mi sombrero se cayó
And when I picked up my hat, doubt quickly aroseY al recogerme el sombrero la duda pronto le entro
The commander was clever, he found the drugs on meEl comandante fue listo la droga me la encontro

When he took off my jacket, the belt revealed itAl quitarme la chamarra la faja me descubria
The same happened with the armadillo boots I was wearingLo mismo paso en las botas de armadillo que traia
Oh well, they got me, damn my luckNimodo ya me torcieron maldita la suerte mia
