The 701

La 701

Seriously, how we need JoaquínDe verdad, cómo hace falta Joaquín
And although it is not here, the legacy is firmY aunque no está aquí, bien firme el legado
Children, I couldn't say goodbye anymoreHijos, ya no me pude despedir
But from here I send you a hugPero desde aquí les mando un abrazo

I didn't see this one coming, but I'm already hereEsta no la vi venir, mas ya estoy aquí
And now where do I go?Y ahorita para dónde me hago
But life is like that, I tell youPero la vida es así, les mando decir
Let them be carefulQue se anden con cuidado

Badiraguato, the mountain range where I grew upBadiraguato, la sierra donde creciera
At his ranch, La TunaEn su rancho, La Tuna
Paths between paths, had their cavesCaminos entre veredas, tenía sus cuevas
You blame his heightEchas a su estatura

Puente Grande was the placePuente Grande fue el lugar
How to forget that famous escapeCómo olvidar esa famosa fuga
And several years ago, for wanting to kill himY varios años atrás, por quererlo matar
They took a priestSe llevaron un cura

When the old man had a partyCuando el viejo se enfiestaba
The 701 is always in troubleSiempre fajada la 701
Good rhythm for dancingBuen ritmo pa' la bailada
Good step with blonde hairBuen paso daba con una pelo rubio
Pretty security throughout the placeBastante seguridad por todo el lugar
Relaxed and safeRelajado y seguro
Under the command of Cholo IvánAl mando del Cholo Iván
Pure ex-military, more armored than a wallPuro exmilitar, más blindado que un muro

Happy and in love, for several ranchesAlegre y enamorado, por varios ranchos
left several seedsDejó varias semillas
The oldest is Archivaldo, along with his brotherEl mayor es Archivaldo, junto a su hermano
And those of Jesus MaryY los de Jesús María

One or another more out there without mentioningUno que otro más por ahí sin mencionar
But they are still familyPero igual son familia
Edgar is going to take care of them for meEdgar me los va a cuidar
I have to pray to him and give him a hugLe he de rezar y un abrazo hasta arriba

Friendships of greatness and for warsAmistades de grandeza y pa' las guerras
Very few reached meMuy pocos me llegaron
Compadres wherever you wantCompadres por donde quiera
But, in my absence, one changes sidesPero, en mi ausencia, uno cambio de bando

One federal agent was enoughUn agente federal bastó nomás
To be locked up herePa' estar aquí encerrado
For not wanting to fix, my Cholo IvánPor no querer arreglar, mi Cholo Iván
you would have shot himLo hubieras fusilado

With this, I say goodbye to my friendsYa con esta, me despido de mis amigos
From my ranch and my motherDe mi rancho y mi madre
Play beautiful corridos, one of those old onesToquen corridos bonitos, de esos viejitos
Like the M GrandeComo el del M Grande
