El Chile Pelaiz

I'm going to sing a corrido
That you will remember
About a very determined man
Born there in Michoacán
His nickname was Chile
And his last name was Pelaiz

In a court in Chicago
People were laughing
When the judge asked the accused
For his name
And they were dying of laughter
When the man answered

Sir, well, I don't know my name
And here are the reasons
This nickname was given to me
By all my friends
They call me Chile
And Pelaiz is my last name

Sit down, Mr. Chile
Don't fall down
When you hear the sentence
That I'm going to impose
50 months in prison
For mocking the law

We sent Chile inside
To a prison in Chicago
And he told the Americans
I won't be locked up for long
And if they think otherwise
They are mistaken

They say I'm a killer
And accuse me of being a mafioso
In the newspapers I appear
As a dangerous guy
I admit I'm not good
Nor am I bad

They couldn't catch me
In the United States
I made them honor
My last name
Chile Pelaiz escaped
That's what the Americans said

In the United States
They will never see me again
If the Americans want to see me
They should come to Michoacán
I bid you farewell
Alias Chile Pelaiz
