The Party
Year of 96
February 6th was the day
They cornered the tiger
They called him the party
He was at El Tonino's
In the house where he lived
Come out with your hands up
They shouted at the party
There were over 100 soldiers
And in front was a lieutenant
In El Tonino's ranch
Death was lurking around
The legend began
In the year of 80
When he killed Don Gregorio
And 2 lieutenants
He was accused of the deaths
Of three or four soldiers
They shouted Carlos Meza
We've come to arrest you
We have you surrounded
Your bad luck has come
Carlos Meza replied
With his AK-47
He was already waiting for them
I'm not afraid to die
Come for me whenever you want
After all, you bring good rifles
I bring the devil in my hands
That doesn't let me surrender
The tiger of Mazatan
Who they killed this day
A high-ranking military
Ordered the hunt
They were from the 43rd
Infantry Battalion
More than 600 people
Gave him their farewell
The musicians didn't stop
Playing their favorites
Like
You're leaving, my angel
And life is worth nothing
Goodbye my dear mother
Who saw me born
Goodbye my wife Maria
Goodbye Carlita too
To my horse and my dog
I ask to take good care of them.
