El Crimen de Culiacán [English translation]

I'll sing this corrido to two men who killed

without having compassion, they were vilely tortured

and already dead with a car over them passing over them.

In the El Palmito neighborhood, the city was Culiacán

Francisco López, also Francisco Beltrán

they didn't imagine that they were gonna kill them.

Francisco López had some overdue accounts

He had rightly killed the one who stole his beloved

but Francisco Beltrán wasn't guilty of anything.

The other day they found them at dawn the day

They had their guts outside and a dog ate them

and a few moments later the police arrived.

With the Sinaloan band they were buried

and two mothers cry without being able to console themselves

for their beloved children that are right now in heaven.

With this one I say goodbye and I tell you in my singing

that bad companies have nothing good to leave

I say it for the corrido, don't forget them
