Translation of the song lyrics Los Tres De Zacatecas - Los Tigres Del Norte

Los Tres De Zacatecas (original)

Había un cargamento de trescientos kilos
Que los migras atoraron
Y cuando de pronto escuché la noticia
Tan solo de diez hablaron
Oí el comentario por que estaba preso
Por ilegal fui cautivo
Mientras que lo gringos hacían el reparto
Yo estaba haciendo el corrido
A los que agarraron eran tres hermanos
De Zacatecas vinieron
Eran Juan y Pablo, y Manuel Eduardo
Y su apellido Guerrero
Decía el emigrante a los detenidos:
Ya se pueden dar por muertos
Si acaso yo escucho una media palabra
Del corte del cargamento
Yo se que la carga era de la buena;
Lo supe por el aroma
En pocos minutos olía la garita
A amoniaco y acetona
Una pobre madre ansiosa espera
A los tres de Zacatecas
Tal vez con m canto se entere algún día
Que se Hayan tras de las rejas

(translation)

There was a shipment of three hundred kilos
that the migra got stuck
And when suddenly I heard the news
They only spoke of ten
I heard the comment because he was in prison
For illegal I was captive
While the gringos made the distribution
I was doing the corrido
Those who were caught were three brothers
From Zacatecas they came
They were Juan and Pablo, and Manuel Eduardo
And his surname from him Guerrero
The emigrant told the detainees:
They can already be considered dead
If I ever hear a half word
Of the cut of the loading
I know that the load was a good one;
I knew it by the scent
In a few minutes the sentry box smelled
A ammonia and acetone
A poor anxious mother waits
To the three from Zacatecas
Maybe with my song he will find out one day
That they are behind bars
