El Centenario
Banda Astilleros
The Centennial
If you're poor, people humiliate you
If you're rich, they treat you well
If a friend joins the mob
Because he didn't want to be poor anymore
Now he has plenty of money
They pay him by the sack every month.
Everyone calls him the centennial
For the jewel that shines on his chest
Now everyone sees him differently
All his flaws are gone
Just because he drives a brand-new car
They see him with the dollar sign
The gringo government is after him
But he doesn't stop working
He goes to the angels all the time
And comes back with a fortune
He receives orders from above
And fulfills them no matter what...
And there goes buddy Mauricio
He's gotten used to danger
That's why he's not afraid of anything
He cruises around in a Corvette
Through Tijuana and Guadalajara
Through Los Angeles and San Francisco
And also through Las Vegas, Nevada.
He makes money through the mob
But it takes courage
Because there's no family ties here
No room for mistakes
You're always risking your neck
With the laws and the boss.
