Larry Hernandez - "El Pikas" Lyrics Translated

Always firm with his goal, he never took down his hands

He’d go around at leisure (not sure of the implication) –There was very little work

Although, indeed, he never let my family down

He’s very well known in Abal, Sinaloa

He nicknamed “el cabezon” (large headed), his first name Federico

The click(gang) calls him “el picas” and he answers to that in Mazatlán

The rough and turbulent waters, the rising and lowering tides

A boat is indispensable, otherwise work stalls

Support from 2 and my brother, (nick)named Pancho Loco

The sun rises for all, I always knew that since young

Whether it’s much or too few, the goal is to produce

My signature is my word – my guys know that

A (musical) band to get happy, a good wine for drinking

And my buddy, El Coyote, sings songs and corridos

That Pancho Loco would like, those were his favorites

Pancho Loco you’ve left us, who had not an ounce of crazy

You remained in Guasave – couldn’t make it into Obregon

Eric, Picas and Cris – we’re all very sad.

Big Thanks to the reader who translated the corrido
