Translation
El centenario
If you’re poor people treat you like shit
If you’re rich they treat you quite well
A friend got into the mafia
because he no longer wanted to be poor
Now he has money leftover
In sacks they pay him each month
Everyone calls him “El Centenario”
after the jewel that shines on his chest
Now everyone sees him differently
They are done with all their contempt
Just because he has a new car
now they see him as a dollar sign
The American government hunts him
but he doesn’t stop working
He goes to Los Angeles often
and returns with a ton of money
He receives orders from above
and fulfills them as if on the spot
He’s become accustomed to the danger
That’s why he fears nothing
In a Corvette he cruises calmly
through Tijuana and through Guadalajara
through Los Angeles and San Francisco
and also through Las Vegas, Nevada
With the mafia one makes money
but one needs valor
because here there’s no such thing as friendship
Mistakes cannot be made
You’re always risking your ass
with the law or with the boss
