El Adios Al Guerito (Guero Bastidas)

How to forget your beginnings when you were with Vicente
how to forget your charisma your respect among people
to compose this corrido I need a strong drink
they took the blondie from us, his people miss him

took down number nine, it hurts me deeply
I'm prepared for everything, for jail or death
you once said on a day of revelry that's when you're in the heat
today I leave the reins of my horse and my super doesn't roar anymore

I know many people have doubts about my departure
I understood the game of life, I won and I also lost
today I didn't lose much, always did what I wanted
doing things discreetly is useless, the gringa Guero Bastidas tells you and affirms it

(Here it goes, old man, wherever you are, relative, with
a lot of pain and affection, old man, pure northern enigma listen, hahaha)

there was no chance to know where they ambushed us
when we were in the office, they didn't give us any time
never left the boss alone, we died on the line
the cards were already shuffled, it was my last move

I know there are friends who are hurt in different places
musicians, workers, mafiosos, and family members
I left a mark wherever I stood, that's what I did in life
when they remember me at parties, let them hear Guero Bastidas

lessons are meant to be learned and taken into account
here's a greeting to Benyi, Cheko, and 90
I did what I could for the company, always fully committed
I bid farewell and take you with me, I know I was a very fine rooster, goodbye says the blondie.
