Текст и перевод песни Los Tucanes de Tijuana - El Plateado (Mario Peralta)

El Plateado (Mario Peralta)

Las fronteras le daban billetes
Su trabajo era muy bien pagado
Se rifaba la vida el muchacho
Pero siempre ayudaba al mojado
El corrido es de Mario Peralta
Que también le decían el Plateado

De muy joven se metió al negocio
Por azares del propio destino
Orgulloso de su Guanajuato
Del ranchito la Virgen nativo
Muy alegre siempre se paseaban
Con sus compas hermanos y primos

Con la banda siempre amanecía
Con Norteño le seguía otro día
Ya picado el mariachi pedían
Las mujeres iban y venían
Así se las gastaba el Plateado
Su cartera se lo permitía

Le gustaba burlar las fronteras
Su negocio era muy delicado
Pero el que no le arriesga no gana
Eso siempre decía el Plateado
Así es que para ganar billetes
Hay que ser hombre muy aventado

En su troca del año arreglada
Se paseaba por varios estados
Su prestigio era muy importante
Por eso andaba bien arreglado
Él decía yo no soy traficante
Yo soy parte del sueño dorado

Con la banda siempre amanecía
Con Norteño le seguía otro día
Ya picado el mariachi pedía
Las mujeres iban y venían
Así se las gastaba el Plateado
Su cartera se lo permitía

The Silver One (Mario Peralta)

The borders gave him money
His work was very well paid
The boy was risking his life
But he always helped the wetback
The corrido is about Mario Peralta
Who was also called the Silver One

He got into the business very young
By the chances of fate itself
Proud of his Guanajuato
Native of the small ranch La Virgen
They always went out very happy
With their fellow companions, brothers, and cousins

He always woke up with the band
Another day continued with Norteño
When he was a bit tipsy, he would ask for mariachi
Women came and went
That's how the Silver One spent his money
His wallet allowed him to

He liked to cross the borders
His business was very delicate
But the one who doesn't risk it doesn't win it
The Silver One always said that
So to earn money
You have to be a very daring man

He would go out in his new truck
He would go through several states
His prestige was very important
That's why he always went out well dressed
He would say I'm not a trafficker
I'm part of the American dream

He always woke up with the band
Another day continued with Norteño
When he was a bit tipsy, he would ask for mariachi
Women came and went
That's how the Silver One spent his money
His wallet allowed him to
