50 Veces Mayo

More than 50 times they've tried to catch him and they couldn't
The godfather
The same 50 told him: Sir, keep going your way
I haven't seen him
An M and a Z have marked him
I think they already know who I'm talking about
Who is the son of the mountain
The legend known as El Mayo

The most powerful, the emperor with a rancher accent
The one with the hat
He has more ballads than anyone and not just anyone is the first
The top one
In his mouth there are always precise words and, when he speaks, it's for an interview
How do they think they'll catch him if his own shadow loses sight of him?

And up Culiacán, Sinaloa, buddy!
At the top, he saw Pablo crowned, also Amado Carrillo
I was a witness
Like Palma, he saw a general believe with his buddy, El Chapito
And his team
Half a century are already years up there
It was hard to get there and what he says goes
Security is noticeable: With his boots, he's still sitting up there

You would see everything I have in this life to see Vicente outside
Who is absent
I want some ice-cold quarters to have a strong drink
For Vicente
Here I have his horse ready in case he returns to his ranch, El Salado
Any moment he might surprise us, Serafín is waiting for him

Friend of generals, reporters, and five presidents
Influential
He was an outstanding student of the Cuban and quickly learned
To be a boss
The horse hasn't tired of trotting
Five decades and his name still rings
I am Ismael Zambada, I am El Mayo and also son of the mountain
