El gallo de Sinaloa [English translation]

I'm a rooster from Sinaloa

Played in various palenques

It's no that I'm boasting

Good luck follows me

What I do1

I have death always close to me

I spend my time in the mountains

Cities and ranches

And if they say that Gonzales

Is wanted by the police

I'm going to the United States

To get lost a few days

Those of the DEA chase me

For the invasion2they carry a permit

They get the best part

If there is any seizure

The gringos never burn it

Most of them are massive3

I carry a goat's horn4

And a very pretty super5

They6clean my way well

And from danger they take me away

If they see me in trouble

Immediately they vomit death

Friends in jails

I have in the north and east

Because they have been arrested

They had bad luck

Others are in the south

Because they trust people

If anyone wants to get into this7

The thing is dangerous

When the man is formal

He sows, harvests and enjoys it

But if he becomes a snake

Very soon falls into the grave
