Lyrics
Fumándose de su tabaco
Con los santos se discutía
Quien se echaba su último trago
Con los santos se discutía
Quien se echaba su último trago
Se fue a su chili copal
Como que vas del camino
Yo me llevo a tu hija santa
Si no pones en mi al tardino
Yo me llevo a tu hija santa
Si no pones en mi el tardino
Ese muerto si, ese muerto no Que el muerto aquí ya se escogió
Que el diputado y el alacrán
Por corrupción los enterraran
Esa muerta si, esa muerte no Esa muerta aquí ya se enterró
La profesora y esa araña
Por negligencia las enterraran
Vela vela vela dora
Ese misterio tu manto
Dame vela vela veladora
Que mi difunto vega gozando
Vela vela vela dora
Ese misterio tu manto
Dame de la veladora
Que mi difunto vega gozando
La pelona prendió su tele
Para ver la telenovela
El tlatuani con sus con pinches
A la patria se la alborean
El tlatuani con sus con pinches
A la patria se la alborean
Tamales y chocolate
Porque pide dulce y salado
Por ese camino de flores
Que la ofrenda te esta esperando
Por ese camino de flores
Que la ofrenda te esta esperando
Ese muerto si, ese muerto no Que el muerto aquí ya se escogió
Que el diputado y el alacrán
Por corrupción los enterraran
Esa muerta si, esa muerte no Esa muerta aquí ya se enterró
La profesora y esa araña
Por negligencia las enterraran
Lyrics translation
Smoking his tobacco
With the Saints were discussed
Who was having his last drink
With the Saints were discussed
Who was having his last drink
He went to his chili copal
Like you're out of the way
I'm taking your holy daughter
If you don't put in my tardy
I'm taking your holy daughter
If you don't put the tardino on me
That dead yes, that dead not that the dead here is already chosen
That the deputy and the Alacran
For corruption they will be buried
That dead one yeah, that dead one not that dead one here is already buried
The teacher and that Spider
By negligence they will be buried
Candle candle Dora candle
That mystery your cloak
Give me the candle.
That my late vega enjoying
Candle candle Dora candle
That mystery your cloak
Give me the wake
That my late vega enjoying
The pelona turned on her TV
To watch the telenovela
The tlatuani with its pinches
The Fatherland is born
The tlatuani with its pinches
The Fatherland is born
Tamales and chocolate
Because it asks sweet and salty
Down that path of flowers
That the offering is waiting for you
Down that path of flowers
That the offering is waiting for you
That dead yes, that dead not that the dead here is already chosen
That the deputy and the Alacran
For corruption they will be buried
That dead one yeah, that dead one not that dead one here is already buried
The teacher and that Spider
By negligence they will be buried
