Luna Roja (versión 2)

Intro

Puro El Kartel, bajo la luna roja

Silencio en la sierra, nadie se raja

Arriba mi gente

Verse

Midnight ridge, the fire's burning low

Five brothers round it, watching shadows grow

Rusted rifle leaning on the stone

Nobody's family but we call it home

Dusty boots and a bottle passed around

Broken radio, one signal, no sound

Tattooed names on my forearm, six deep

Every one of them I'd die for in my sleep

Camino torn, but we walk it together

Rain or dry season, don't matter the weather

Marcos took a bullet meant to find me

Now his mother's rent, I pay it blindly

Loyalty ain't a word, it's a debt that don't clear

Chorus

Luna Roja, watching over the crew

Every scar that we carry, we carry for you

No mountain too high, no river too wide

My compas beside me till the day that I die

Luna Roja, bleeding through the sky

When one of us falls, the rest don't ask why

We carry him home under that same red light

Luna Roja, Luna Roja tonight

We split what we got, no complaints, no rant

Seven trucks in the yard, only four still run

We rotate the keys so everybody gets one

The corridos they write don't tell the whole part

The nights that we cried with a bullet-torn heart

Diego's little sister, we paid for her braces

Family ain't blood, it's the same dusty faces

They say loyalty's dead, that it don't pay rent

But my crew's the reason my conscience is spent

Under that red moon we made a vow

Every debt gets paid, we living it now

Chorus

Luna Roja, watching over the crew

Every scar that we carry, we carry for you

No mountain too high, no river too wide

My compas beside me till the day that I die

Luna Roja, bleeding through the sky

When one of us falls, the r
