Lyrics of La Recompensa - Los Tucanes De Tijuana

La Recompensa (original)

Sonaron las metralletas
De nuevo en Guadalajara
Era un ajuste de cuentas
De bandas organizadas
Cometieron un error
La policia esta alterada
Ofrecen cinco millones
De dolar en efectivo
No mas por que den la pista
Donde se encuentran metidos
Tambien pidieron apoyo
A las Estados Unidos
Es la mayor recompensa
Que este pais ha ofrecido
Porque el pueblo mejicano
Corre bastante peligro
Se declararon la guerra
Ellos saben el motivo
La mafia de Sinaloa
Tiene bastante poder
Ante cualquier situacion
Se ha sabido defender
Pero le siguen los pasos
Toditos los de la ley
Los contrarios en Tijuana
Tremenda organizacion
Estan muy bien preparados
Pa' cualquier ejecucion
Dos bandas de traficantes
Aterran a la nacion
La mafia todo lo sabe
Le lleva informes el viento
Quien quiera esa recompensa
Ay le recuerdo este verso
Mas vale ser pobre y vivo
Y no ser un rico muerto

(translation)

machine guns sounded
Back in Guadalajara
It was a reckoning
of organized gangs
they made a mistake
The police are upset
offer five million
of dollar in cash
No more because they give the track
Where are they stuck?
They also asked for support
To the United States
It is the greatest reward
that this country has offered
Because the Mexican people
He's in a lot of danger
They declared war
They know the reason
The Sinaloa Mafia
has quite a bit of power
In any situation
It has been known to defend
But they follow the footsteps
All of the law
Opposites in Tijuana
tremendous organization
They are very well prepared
For any execution
Two drug gangs
They terrify the nation
The mafia knows everything
The wind carries reports
who wants that reward
Oh I remind you of this verse
It is better to be poor and alive
And not be a dead rich man
