And how beautiful La Trakalosa sounds, compa Edwin

And up with Nuevo Leon

The wind was swaying it

What dark memories

It was my father's body

He had a rope around his neck

They had hanged him on Sunday

On the branches of that cedar tree

I was only 10 years old

I cried like a child

The dog had been shot

I knew it from his howls

But he was dragging a spur

That belonged to the killers

Mr. Judge, it belongs to you

Maybe you've already forgotten

I am Jesus Maldonado

Son of the one who hanged

You can probably guess the reasons

Why I'm looking for him

This is Edwin Luna and La Trakalosa de Monterrey!

And give it your all, my compa Edgar!

After all, the laws

Won't be able to save him

His children are not to blame

But that's beside the point

If you don't arrive by 12

You may never see them again

On the coyote's path

Come well prepared

If you don't want to fight

I'll drag you on my horse

From the branches of that cedar tree
