Corrido de Paredes

With twenty kilos of snow
Each kilo in a bag
A commander reports only fifteen to his boss
The superior orders to send the whole shipment
The lieutenant is the one who sends it to the ministry

Here I bring the ten kilos they found on the trucker
Gotta file the report for the seized drugs
And make sure the report is sent by tomorrow
So the six kilos of powder can go out this morning

Just as it was ordered in the morning
Paredes was moved to the eastern prison
He arrived well-guarded with only three kilos

To hand down the sentence, thirty-six hours passed
The judge asked for the evidence, it was just an ounce
Since there weren't many proofs, Paredes walked out without issues

And so the ballad ends
Where more than one commander
Has become very rich
From the dealer's loss
Paredes, grateful
Donated the next trip
