Translation of the song lyrics El Tamal - Los Tigres Del Norte

El Tamal (original)

La pistola en la cintura
Y en las botas un tamal
Lo rodearon en la calle
Siete de la judicial
Le pidieron la bolsita
El no se las quiso dar
Como le pusieron dedo
Le rodearon bien la troca
El comandante gritaba
Sabemos que cargas coca
El caso no lo hagas grande
Ve quitándote la bota
Juan Manuel le contesto
De traerla no me rajo
Yo se que también le gusta
Con gusto yo la comparto
Pero si la quiere toda
Con sus hombres yo me mato
Con la pistola en la mano
Y el dedo en el gatillo
Notaron en su mirada
Que era un hombre decidido
Porque lo tenían rodeado
Pero se veía tranquilo
No hago tratos con mañosos
Y entrégame el tamal
No te pongas resistente
La vas a pasar muy mal
Antes de que continuara
Un balazo le dio Juan
Los agentes dispararon
Pero no con puntería
A Juan no lo detuvieron
Se les escapo ese día
El comandante esta muerto
Por un tamal que quería

El Tamal (translation)

The gun in the waist
And in the boots a tamale
They surrounded him in the street
Seven of the judicial
They asked for the bag
He didn't want to give them to him
how they put a finger
They surrounded the truck well
the commander yelled
We know you carry coke
The case don't make it big
He sees taking off your boot
Juan Manuel answered
If I bring it I don't shy away
I know he likes it too
I gladly share it
But if she wants it all
With his men I kill myself
With the gun in hand
And the finger on the trigger
They noticed in his look
That he was a determined man
Because they had him surrounded
But he looked calm
I don't do deals with thugs
And give me the tamale
Don't be resistant
you are going to have a very bad time
Before she went on
A bullet gave Juan
The officers fired
But not with aim
Juan was not arrested
I escaped them that day
the commander is dead
For a tamale that he wanted
