I am singing to my friends

to let them know the reasons why I became a criminal 

I had to get into the mafia

when I was destitute because of a lack of money

The more I worked, the more I run out of luck

and I was failing in everything I did

I stopped being an honest man and I became a wetback

and later on I took part in the black market

Now I belong to the mafia and even though I am not dangerous

the law pursues me

I am wanted by the police all over the towns
mountains and valleys

as if I was a criminal

Go on!

You are doing good!

I am not a gunman and I don't steal money

nor do I trick the authorities

I belong to the mafia and act discretely

but I respect everybody

When I am in a good mood I like helping out a lot of people


and then I leave happily

I am a friend of the poor

and you will know my real name at the right moment

Now, it is time to say goodbye because it is almost dawn

and for me it is very dangerous to be around

In case that I can't make it back, have good memories

about this wetback mafia member

Yo les canto a mis amigos 

para decir los motivos que me hicieron bandolero

Tuve que entrarle a la mafia

cuando me vi en la desgracia por la falta de dinero

Por mas que yo trabajaba la suerte no me ayudaba

y en todo fui fracazando

Deje de ser hombre honrado y me avente de mojado

y después al contrabando

Ahora soy un mafioso y aunque no soy peligroso

por la ley soy perseguido

Me buscan los judiciales por pueblos, montes
y valles

como si fuera un bandido

Hechale!

Ahi la llevas!

Yo no ando de pistolero, ni asaltando por dinero

ni burlando autoridades

Soy un mafioso discreto

que guardo el mayor respeto ante las masas sociales

Y cuando yo ando de ambiente, yo aliviano a
mucha gente

y me retiro muy contento

Yo soy amigo del pobre

y ahi conoceran mi nombre cuando se llegue el momento

Aquí me estoy despidiendo porque viene amaneciendo

y para mi es peligroso

Ahi si acaso ya no vuelvo, guarden un triste recuerdo

de este mojado mafioso
