Translation please, for the English Speaking Only community.

Not exact, but this catches the flavour and attitude; those whose Tex-Mex idiom is better are invited to offer corerections or a better version. The song really launched the superstar career of El Tigres del Norte and was followed by at least three sequel *answer songs* and two motion picture adaptations.

A real quick websearch didn't turn up a MP3 version, but I bet there's one or two to be had somewhere....

por su ordena!

***** ***** *****

They left San Ysidro coming from Tijuana
the rims of the car they brought filled with bad grass
They were Emilio Varela and Camelia the Tejana. [Texas girl]

They came through San Clemente and stopped for immigration
who requested their documents and said to them
Where are you from

They said San Antonio, a place with a woman's heart.

So a woman loves a man, and can give life
but it is necessary to take good care of her
If she should feel hurt

betrayal and the contraband life don't mix.

At Los Angeles they arrived, and went to Hollywood
changed the four rims in a dark alley
there they gave the grass, and there also
they got what was coming to them:

Emilio says to Camellia, today it's goodbye
to the part of this life that touches you, It's to San Francisco, with the owner of my life.

They sound was seven shots,
Camellia, Emilio killed
the police only found a thrown pistol
nothing was ever heard again of the money and Camellia,.
