El Centenario
Los Tucanes de Tijuana
The Centenary
If you are poor, people humiliate you
If you are rich, they treat you very well
A friend got into the mafia
Because he didn't want to be poor anymore
Now he has plenty of money
They pay him by the sackful each month
Everyone calls him the centenary
For the jewel that shines on his chest
Now everyone sees him differently
All his despises are over
Just because he drives a new car
They see him with the peso sign
The gringo government is after him
But he doesn't stop working
He goes to Los Angeles all the time
And comes back with a lot of money
He receives orders from above
And fulfills them no matter what
He's gotten used to danger
And that's why he fears nothing
He cruises calmly in a Corvette
Through Tijuana and Guadalajara
Through Los Angeles and San Francisco
And also through Las Vegas, Nevada
With the mafia he makes money
But it takes courage
Because here there is no family ties
No mistakes are allowed
You're always risking your skin
With the laws or with the boss
