Ayer Baje De La Sierra

Yesterday I came down from the sierra
they were already waiting for me
a hundred green-clad men
had the path blocked
but they got scared
because I was flying down

To the neighborhood of Tierra Blanca
very close to hell
I go to see my sweetheart
hidden from the government
I have such big debts
that some nights I can't even sleep

Don't count your chickens before they hatch
I'm not dead yet
I just put on some cologne
and you think I stink
if you really want me
why don't you risk it all

I like to fish for minnows
to use as bait
in the city of Nogales
they shot me in the back
if you want to finish me off
I'll be waiting in Ensenada

It's not that I like trouble
but I appreciate the thrill
let the bandits come
the green stick in action
then I head to Las Pintas
my heart calls for it

Beautiful are the High Waves
and there's no doubt about it
if you want to enjoy life
come to Mazatlan
when you come down from the sierra
don't forget
