Gobiernos van Gobiernos vienen Y agarrarme no les conviene Naci en la pobreza Me crie en la humildad Ahora tengo riqueza Riqueza en verdad Una raya mas al tigre Es lo que dice el patron Cuando se avienta un buen jale O cuando mata un cabron Maneja un bajo perfil Siendo el rey del polvito Es un galan con las hembras Desde que estaba plebito Anda por todos los lados Siempre vendiendo su jale Es como los buenos gallos Que cortan y luego salen Entre los narcos pesados Con fuerza prendio la mecha Y el gobierno como siempre Ni siquiera lo sospecha El tigre blanco senores Amigo de los Sambada Es compa tambien del Chapo Y de toda la gallada Muchos ya le tienen miedo Por lo que han visto que hace Un hombre mas hombre que el Aun todavia no nace Me juraron que es del Sur Otros dicen que es Norteño Pero me lo aseguraron Que este compa es Costeño Me despido como siempre Espero haya gustado El tigre blanco senores Es cada dia mas rayado
 Governments go, Governments come Trapping me is not in their interest I was born in poverty I grew up in humbleness Now I have riches True riches One more line for the tiger Is what the boss says When he sniffs on some blow Or when he kills a bastard He moves under the radar He is the king of the dust He’s a heartthrob with the females Since he was a kid He is everywhere Always selling his stuff He’s like a good rooster Who cuts and retrieves Among the big Narcs With strength he strikes the match And the government as usual Has no clue The white tiger gentleman Friends of the Sambadas He’s also buddies with El Chapo And the whole crew Many are already afraid of him From what they’ve seen him do A man more man that him Has not been born yet They swear he’s form the south Others say he’s northern But they assure me That this dude is from the coast I’ll say farewell as usual Hope you’ve enjoyed The white tiger, my friends Gets more stripes everyday

Año Dos Mil Ocho Adiós Te fuiste y quedas en el olvido Año Dos Mil Nueve llegas Con mala suerte para un amigo Por no entender ni comprender Hilaro se volvio asesino Mató a su esposa, hirió a su hija La apuñaló con un cuchillo El se fugo pa las montañas Intentó esconder su delito La ley intenta el aprenderlo Fracazaron sus movimientos Pasaron dias, unas semanas Lo hallaron muerto allá en las montañas De Santa Monica, California Excursionistas que caminaban La sangre se le congelo Por eso el ya en nada penso Dentro de aquel Cavalier gris Corto sus venas, se desangró Pasaron dias, unas semanas Lo hallaron muerto allá en las montañas De Santa Monica, California Excursionistas que caminaban
 Goodbye year 2008 You’ve left and are now forgotten Year 2009 has arrived With bad fortune for a friend For not understanding Hilario turned into a murderer Killed his wife, wounded his daughter Stabbed her with a knife He scurried to the mountains Tried to hide his crime The law tried to capture him But their attempts failed Days passed, maybe weeks He was found dead up in the mountains Of Santa Monica, California By some hikers that walked by His blood had frozen over And so had no thoughts left Inside his gray Cavalier He cut his veins and bled to death Days passed, maybe weeks He was found dead up in the mountains Of Santa Monica, California By some hikers that walked by

Cuando estabas conmigo me decías Que nada te dolía, corazón de melón Ahora dices que todo te molesta Que todo te fastidia, que estas de mal humor Cuando hablas, me marcas restringido Y es que tu no quieres que sepa que eres tú Yo contesto, te quedas tu callada Pues sólo te conformas con sólo oir mi voz Yo no entiendo, yo no entiendo, yo no entiendo Yo no entiendo esta actitud Continúa pensando que eres buena Que toda esta culpa la tuvo un servidor No te ciegues y abre ya tus ojos Entiende y comprende, reacciona por favor Tu familia en nada te ha ayudado Y siguen empeñados a no saber de mi Tu haces caso, te regresa la angustia Causando en tu alma que seas infeliz Yo no entiendo, yo no entiendo, yo no entiendo Yo no entiendo esta actitud Yo no entiendo por qué tanto tu empeño De seguir molestando a este corazón Búscate otro, empieza a valorarlo Y ten mucho cuidado no lastimar su amor Si te apuras y te pones las pilas Tal ez eso te alcance para entender mejor Los tropiezos son parte de la vida Y la vida se encarga de componer tu error Yo no entiendo, yo no entiendo, yo no entiendo Yo no entiendo esta actitud Como quiera ya estamos separados Y de hoy en adelante preocupate por tí De mi parte deseo te emborraches Ya sea con cerveza, tequila o con aníz Me despido como siempre contento Deseando que el pasado se quede donde está Mi futuro lo tengo en mis manos Y una nueva vida con amor crecerá Yo no entiendo, yo no entiendo, yo no entiendo Yo no entiendo esta actitud 
When we were together you’d say Nothing hurts, my sweetheart Now you say everything bothers you Everything is a nuisance, you’re in a bad mood You call from a blocked number Because you don’t want me to know it’s you I answer and you stay quiet You’re resigned to just hearing my voice I don’t understand, I don’t understand, I don’t understand, I don’t understand that attitude Keep thinking that you’re good That it was all this humble servant’s fault Don’t blind yourself and open your eyes Please understand, please respond Your family doesn’t help you at all And they still don’t want to hear from me You listen and the anxiety returns And it causes your soul to suffer I don’t understand, I don’t understand, I don’t understand, I don’t understand that attitude I don’t understand why so much effort In continuing to break my heart Look for another, and start appreciating And be careful not hurt the one you love If you hurry and get set Maybe you will understand To stumble is part of life And life takes care of fixing your mistakes I don’t understand, I don’t understand, I don’t understand, I don’t understand that attitude Anyway, we’re not together anymore From now on only worry about yourself On my end I wish you get wasted On beer, tequila, or Anis I say farewell always content Wishing the past to stay where it is My future is in my hands And a new life will grow with love I don’t understand, I don’t understand, I don’t understand, I don’t understand that attitude

Se acabaron esos tiempos De aquellos contrabandistas De cruzar el Rio Bravo Con botellas de tequila Se arriesgaban a caballo Con sus cargas de tequila Cruzando montes y valles Sin importarles la vida Por muchas partes de Texas En los montes y potreros Se encuentran algunes cruces De los pobres tequileros Por ambicion al dinero Muchos perdieron la vida Silbaron sus companeros Otros que no conocia Ahora los contrabandistas No les importa el tequila Ahora pasan marihuana Pastillas y cocaina Ahora los contrabandistas Ahora no andan a caballo Ahora vuelan en aviones Otros en sus buenos carros Por ambicion al dinero Muchos perdieron la vida Silbaron sus companeros Otros que no conocia 
 The times have ended Since those smugglers Who crossed the Rio Bravo With Bottles of Tequila On horseback they risked Their loads of Tequila Crossing hills and valleys Without caring for their lives Through many parts of Texas In the hills and pastures There are crosses left For the poor tequila men Because of ambition and money Many lost their lives Their friends whisled As well as others they didn’t know Now the smugglers Don’t care about Tequila Now they pass Marijuana Pills and Cocaine Now the smugglers Are not on horseback Now they fly in airplanes Others in their fancy cars Because of ambition and money Many lost their lives Their friends whisled As well as others they didn’t know

Pa probar su puntería El empezó a usar la izquierda Con un cuerno en cada mano Praticando allá en la sierra Del Estado de Chihuahua Muy cerca de la frontera En la Sierra Tarahumara Por ahí han visto rondando Le gustan las coleaderas Del Estado de Durango Su caballo Cara Blanca El siempre lo ha acompañado Dicen que por Hermosillo Por ahí lo han visto pasar Que se dirige al desierto Como queriendo alcanzar A los que cobardemente Asesinaron a Juan Va cabalgando un jinete Sin rumbo fijo en el llano Buscando a los asesinos Que mataron a su hermano Para vengarle su muerte Cargando un cuerno en cada mano Dicen que por Hermosillo Por ahí lo han visto pasar Que se dirige al desierto Como queriendo alcanzar A los que cobardemente Asesinaron a Juan 
 To test his aim He began using his left With a horn on each hand Practicing there in the mountains In the State of Chihuahua Very close to the border In the Tarahumara mountains They’ve seen him roam He likes the Rodeo From the State of Durango His horse, White Face Always at his side They say around Hermosillo They’ve seen him pass He’s headed towards the desert As if trying to reach Those who cowardly Murdered Juan There goes a horseman galloping Without a set course through the plains Looking for the murderers That killed his brother To avenge his death Carrying a horn on each hand They say around Hermosillo They’ve seen him pass He’s headed towards the desert As if trying to reach Those who cowardly Murdered Juan

about

Fun, party, humorous stories of every day life. Everything life throws at you is a reason to celebrate; that is what listening to El Polvo Norteño makes you feel. Beauty, sadness, happiness and tragedy are the emotional ingredients in the feast this modern Mexican Norteño group cooks up. In fact, throw the lyrics away and you’d probably miss the fact that they’re singing about their vices, a tragic suicide, the sanctity of matrimony, a dance party and drug smugglers. But there is no sadness here, at least not long enough to halt a good FIESTA. El Polvo Norteño delivers its dishes in various flavors from corridos to rancheras to cumbia, but all seasoned with their own special blend of northern spices.
