Corrido del Pepe

They warned me on the radio
also on the cell phone
buddy, here in Caborca
we got hit by the law
come quickly, relative
you have to fix it...

take the shortest path
straight to that place
since I don't beat around the bush
I spoke to them truthfully
'how much, commander
to let us work'..

'look, I wasn't raised in the mountains,
I'm a city man but
I know the paths where
we must walk, I wasn't raised
among weapons but I know how to handle them..

and it's not a lie, my buddy JC
that the band el capiro sounds pretty good, listen

the laws of these lands
always await my arrival
because they want a very
good slice of the pie, those
frog skins are highly coveted

I worked a few years
in the American union
I returned to my lands
to move in this area
in the desert of altar
is where I have my people

I was born in Hermosillo
brave, determined, true
I'm a friend of the friend
who doesn't back down
don't mess with me
or you might regret it

I'm not going to give you my name
I like discretion
I don't like showing off
nor betrayal
those who seek me will find me
that's how I was born and how I am

from the mountains to the desert
airplanes are flying
you can hear the engines buzzing
of several Cessna birds
everything looks calm
I see my people happy

I'm heading to the border
I have a business over there
and if you want to meet me
you'll find me in Sonora
I'm Pepe, now you know
for whatever I can help
