La Reina Del Sur

I'm gonna sing a ballad
Listen up, my friends
About the queen of the south
A famous trafficker
Born back in Sinaloa
They call her Teresa Mendoza

The blonde guy told Tere
Here’s my cell phone
When you hear it, babe
Don’t try to answer
It’s because I got caught
And you’ll have to run

Güero Dávila was
A risky pilot
For the Juárez cartel
He did a lot of jobs
In a Cessna plane
They killed him in the mountains

Epifanio Vargas said
Teresa, you’re gonna escape
I have a friend in Spain
He can put you up
He owes me a lot of favors and he’ll have to help you

When she got to Melilla
Her luck changed right away
With Don Santiago Pisterra
They gathered a lot of people
Buying and selling drugs
For both continents

Manolo Céspedes said
Teresa is very bold
She sells drugs to France
Africa and also Italy
Even the Russians buy from her
She’s a tough lady

She learned the accent
That’s used all over Spain
Showed her authority
Like the noblest lady
She surprised many
Teresa the Mexican
Sometimes dressed in leather
Remembering her homeland
With crocodile boots and
An ostrich jacket
Wore a fancy belt
Tequila when she toasted

She was the queen of the south
Back in her hometown
Teresa the Mexican
From across the sea
A very brave woman
Who won’t be forgotten

One day she disappeared
Teresa the Mexican
Some say she’s in prison
Others say she lives in Italy
In California or Miami
In the United States
