El Leon
Los Fabulosos Cadillacs
The Lion
The lion is hidden in the alley
He knows well what will happen to him
So he takes out his revolver and is about to shoot
The police surround him without mercy
They are after him for settling scores
And that sergeant who without hesitation
Opens fire and hits him
The curious thing is that before dying
The lion Santillan uttered words
Before the officers who looked bewildered
And he said
Dear enemies of always
I leave this world of pain
Never forget
That now all the people are heading towards the sea
They go to the sea, they go to the sea
Crying, pain, suffering
Of a town drowning and sinking in the sea
They go to the sea, they go to the sea
Crying, pain, suffering
Of a town drowning and sinking in the sea
The lion said it, Manuel Santillan
The lion said it, old fighter from San Telmo
The lion said it, Manuel Santillan the lion
The lion said it
The officers who saw Santillan die
Left the institution
They were never heard from again
The case was never spoken of again
However, in old San Telmo
In a dirty tavern
They say that a drunk
Murmured crying the words that belonged to the lion
And what were they, Manuel
They go to the sea, they go to the sea
Crying, pain, suffering
Of a town drowning in the sea
