Trivia, story behind the song, etc.

Lyrics

In the hills of Guerrero
where a land meets the sky,
Compadres sit idle
while their hearts slowly rise,

Once there was plenty
and children of joy,
Now poppies and thieves
are out on the streets.

On one side the devil
and/or the CIA, 
Me incognito 
deployed to survey,

The drugs from the south 
pulled to the north,
I watched and reported 
kept my hand in my mouth.

Seniorita Carmen Diaz I gave you my eyes,
Turned my heart outward unveiled my disguise,
Now you watch in pleasure and gain some delight,
As they open my skin and burn out my lights.

In the hills of Guerrero where fire greets the sky,
I lost my vision and a will to survive,
If I would advise I'd tell ya my friend, 
Below and be warned of Seniorita Carmen,
Below and be warned la Seniorita Carmen,

Con cuidado mis amigos Seniorita Carmen.
