Corrido de Osiel Cardenas
Beto Quintanilla
Ballad of Osiel Cardenas
On the 14th of March, a Thursday morning
The soldiers and the police surrounded several blocks
They point the finger at the boss, the number one of the underworld
Neither the Zetas nor the horns nor any other precaution
Could save the boss from that fatal abduction
Trust and betrayal have always gone hand in hand
Because the cartel boss's heart softened
He had his family close, that's why he didn't react
There was fierce resistance but he wasn't prepared
They take him to Almoloya as the police usually do
Taking him out of Tamaulipas from Tampico to Laredo
Where commanders have died and now fear grips them
Perhaps someone advises him and remains anonymous
Watching from the shadows, a cat catches him later
Coming to light is not convenient
For those involved in these dealings
The cartel continues to operate, the reorganization is unknown
Although he is already a prisoner, they do everything their way
Only he will know how to handle it from the Matamoros prison
Trust kills a man and betrayal annihilates
When luck changes, it turns you into its enemy
Destiny marked the passage of his life
From Tampico to Laredo, the hawks patrol
Not allowing other birds to nest in their places
Defending with their blood when someone tries to beat them.
