Lyrics of El General - Los Tigres Del Norte

El General (original)

Un general ha caido
Dijo la televisión
Cuando le dieron el puesto
Pensarón k era el mejor
Por culpa del contrabando
Ahora esta en la prisión
Por culiacan y jalisco
Le pidierón protección
Le ofrecierón buenas cosas
La prensa asi lo anuncio
Viviendo con tanto lujo
Se hizo la investigación
Aquellos grandes embarques
Ya no podran transitar
Quien les echaba la mano
Ahora esta en el penal
Y en la baja california
Cayo otro general
Segun las declaraciones
Las k decia el general
K al señor de los cielos
Siempre lo quiso agarrar
Y k lo hizo su amigo
Por su confianza ganar
Con un millon de los verdes
No lo pudierón comprar
Al delegado en tijuana
Al valiente federal
Hay gente k su trabajo lo quiere
Y sabe cuidar
A diferentes paises lo
Certifican los gringos
No quieren k exista droga
Pues dicen k es un peligro
Diganme quien certifica
A los estados unidos
Para agarrar a los narcos
Mexico a sido derecho
Los gringos compran la coca
La pagan a cualquier precio
No quieren k exista droga
Pero se dan privilegios

(translation)

A general has fallen
Said the television
When they gave him the job
They thought k was the best
because of smuggling
Now he is in prison
Through culiacan and jalisco
They asked for protection
They offered him good things
The press announced it that way
Living in such luxury
Research was done
those big shipments
They will no longer be able to transit
who gave them a hand
Now he is in prison
And in Baja California
another general fell
According to the statements
The k said the general
K to the lord of the skies
He always wanted to grab it
And what did his friend do?
For his trust of him win
With a million greens
they couldn't buy it
To the delegate in Tijuana
To the brave federal
There are people who love his work
And he knows how to take care
To different countries
The gringos certify
They do not want drugs to exist
Well, they say k is a danger
Tell me who certifies
To the United States
To catch the narcos
Mexico has been right
The gringos buy the coca
They pay it at any price
They do not want drugs to exist
But privileges are given
