El Viento Del Diablo
by Bruce Holmes

Some translation might be helpful, El viento del diablo means "the wind of the devil." Christo en la cruz lo mira means "Christ on the cross is watching you."

Warm wind in your face
Wheels tricked out to race
Los Lobos loud bass
Got beer by the case

Low rider gleams gold
Big bold centerfold
Side windows like black
Good sex in the back

White teeth and red lips
Low rise on the hips
Watch close as Rose dips
Hot sweat when she strips

Rose knows what she's got
Rose knows that she's hot
Rose flashes the fools
Rose smiles, watch ‘em drool

El viento del diablo
Who gets Rose tonight?
No Rose if you lose
Take care what you choose
Christo en la cruz
Lo mira

Juan lived for the speed
Juan lived for the bleed
Low rider too slow
Don't want no yo-yo

Cold beer in Juan’s blood
Rose likes Juan for stud
Carlos wants to race
Now he's in Juan's face

El viento del diablo
Who gets Rose tonight?
No Rose if you lose
Take care what you choose
Christo en la cruz
Lo mira

But Juan hides what he's done
Child died, hit and run
Juan dreams her each night
White face in his lights

You visit the priest
Wash blood from the beast
You touch up the paint
You pray to the Saints

Carlos says you'll lose
Race now no excuse
He flashing the cash
Got juice up the ass

El viento del diablo
Who gets Rose tonight?
No Rose if you lose
Take care what you choose
Christo en la cruz
Lo mira
