El buen ejemplo [English translation]

Son, your birthday has come

My beloved child,

What are you going to ask for?

It is your sixth birthday,

What you have imagined,

You can tell me

Maybe it will be a video game

Maybe a tour of Europe

You can ask, whatever you imagine

We do not have to discuss money

Woman, bring me some Buchanan's

And a notebook to organize

My little dude's party.

Many guests, a band to play

You know, my child, that I love you

You know that I would die for you

You can invite all your little friends

Tell me, my child, I want to listen

"Thanks, daddy

I have everything, and I want something more

Something that I admire so much,

I like your style." "Well, will you tell me?"

"I want a bulletproof vest,

A cannon, grenade launchers,

An army, to shoot an AK-47,

Just like you do to party."

I felt a stab of pain,

That was like a torture I couldn't bear

To see the damn bad example

That I gave to my child, I started to cry

What could I expect out of his life

With that suicidal mind

I will retire, little friend

Although it must deprive me of luxury

Tomorrow I'll look for a job

Feeding pigs,

Loading mezcal

I have to stop the violence

No more crime

I have to be an example

I would rather carry boots

Than to carry a Christian

Now no more AK-47 in my hands

I want to toast to the long life of my child

Say goodbye to the ex-narco

I am going to other lands

With my child, my wife

I want to begin a new life

I explained to the boss

And I got him to understand

He gave me money and a hug

Said, good luck, buddy

You have more integrity than everyone

You are a good example, be well.
