Lyrics of La Paloma - Los Tigres Del Norte

La Paloma (original)

Aqui cayo la paloma
En la laguna de nuzco
Porque no pudo bajar
En la pista de acapulco
Un gavilan federal
Le venia siguiendo el rumbo
Tres toneladas y media
En su interior las llevaba
El plan de vuelo traia
A la union americana
Pero cayo por guerrero
Se le cansaron las alas
El gavilan federal
Por radio les avisaba
Que la mentaba paloma
Traia una cola pegada
Pues la siguio desde chiapas
Ni modo que se escapara
La policia federal
La de caminos y puertos
Todo mundo interesado
Atrapar el cargamento
Unos se llevaron droga
Y otros muy buen ascenso
Por eso es que los carteles
No es una sola familia
Unos con otros se tiran
El dinero causa envidias
Luchan por los territorios
Y se pierden muchas vidas
Por eso es que las traiciones
Por la mafia son cobradas
No piensen que esto es un cuento
Si la gente esta enterada
De lo que pasa en vallarta
Y en las montañas de iguala

(translation)

Here the pigeon fell
In the lagoon of Nuzco
Cause she couldn't get down
On the track in Acapulco
A federal hawk
I was following the course
three and a half tons
Inside he carried them
The flight plan brought
to the american union
But he fell for a warrior
his wings got tired
the federal hawk
I warned them on the radio
that pigeon lied
He had a glued tail
Well, I followed her from Chiapas
no way she would get away
federal police
The one of roads and ports
everyone interested
catch the cargo
Some took drugs
And other very good promotion
That's why the posters
It is not a single family
They throw each other
money causes envy
They fight for territories
And many lives are lost
That is why the betrayals
They are charged by the mafia
Do not think that this is a story
If people are aware
Of what happens in vallarta
And in the mountains of Iguala
