Translation of the song lyrics Gerardo El Poderoso - Los Tucanes De Tijuana

Gerardo El Poderoso (original)

Sucedio el 87
Este crimen doloroso
Mataron a un gran amigo
Por que tenia su negocio
El traficaba la droga
Eso lo hizo poderoso;
Tenia de nombre gerardo
Y salazar su apellido
Mucha gente en culiacan
Hoy de negro se ha vestido
Por que lo apreciaban mucho
Y hoy se encuentra fallecido;
Nacido en badiraguato
En el rancho la lampara
Los federales temian
Enfrentarsele a la cara
No mas por que el gran gerardo
Con dos cuernos disparaba
Alguien supo que gerardo
Ahi tenia que llegar
Y fue y les dijo alos huachos
Que le formaran un plan
Se vistieron de civiles
Para poderlo matar
En chinito sinaloa
Fue donde lo acribillaron
Cuando aterrizo el avion
Por la espalda le tiraron
Fueron 300 soldados
Los que el gatillo jalaron
Ya murio otro de los de los grandes
De esos que eran poderosos
Pero no crean que por eso
La ley va estar en reposo
Los que mueren se retiran
Los que viven al negocio

(translation)

It happened in 87
This painful crime
They killed a great friend
because he had his business
He trafficked the drug
That made him powerful;
He had the name Gerardo
And salazar his last name
Many people in culiacan
Today he dressed in black
because they appreciated it so much
And today he is deceased;
He was born in badiraguato
In the ranch the lamp
The feds feared
face him
no more because the great gerardo
With two horns he shot
Did anyone know that Gerardo
there he had to arrive
And he went and he told the huachos
That they form a plan
They dressed as civilians
to be able to kill him
in chinese sinaloa
It was where he was shot
When the plane landed
They shot him from behind
There were 300 soldiers
Those who pulled the trigger
Another one of the greats has already died
Of those who were powerful
But don't think that's why
The law will be at rest
Those who die retire
Those who live for business
