El Ranchero Al Que Apodan El Mayo

I'm not complaining about life
For all the bad things I've been through
In it, I've had a thousand conquests
Lots of money, jewels, and cars
And although I'm sitting in this chair
How to forget the past times

In the alamo with my family
The little ranch where my people are from
Where my mother brought me one day
Part of the Sinaloan sierra
I never thought I would command
What you can't imagine

I faced the bull as best I could
With little pay and a lot of work
Working day and night
Harvesting and taking care of the cattle
A good friendship is not forgotten
I don't forget Culiacan and El Salado

How much I miss Vicente
I know many must know him
Although the boy is not present now
He maintains his throne and power
My blood runs through him, my son is brave
I have faith that I will bring him back

Beans in water and salt with tortilla
Thank God I never lacked
That life wasn't so beautiful
When hunger was killing me
Struggling, I have reached the top
If they only knew what I've been through

I know the gringos are looking for me
They'll just keep wanting
Who would have thought that from taking care of cattle
From being just a poor rancher
I would become so heavy and famous
And sought after by the whole world

I'm sorry if they can't touch me today
Mexican-American government
Five million to catch me
I'll spend them buying a horse
No one here betrays the big M
The rancher known as El Mayo
