Pedro Navaja (English: Pedro Knife) is a salsa song written and performed by Rubén Blades from the 1978 collaboration with Willie Colón, Siembra, about a criminal of the same name. "Navaja" means knife or razor (hence an analogy to Blades' surname) in Spanish. Inspired by the song Mack the Knife, it tells the story of a panderer's life and his presumed death. The song is recognized throughout Hispanic America as it pictures scenes and stories common to these countries, even though the story takes place in New York City. The song deals with life, death and the unexpected with dark humor.
There is also a movie titled Pedro Navaja, filmed in Mexico in 1984, starring Andrés García as the title character, Maribel Guardia as his girlfriend, and Resortes as his best friend, which is based on this song; it was made without Blades's input, which caused him to record "Sorpresas" (Surprises), a song that continues the story, turning the movie's plot around by revealing Navaja was still alive and had killed another panderer while he was being registered, provided that the other panderer believed he was truly dead. There was also a musical, La verdadera historia de Pedro Navaja, based on the Kurt Weill and Bertolt Brecht's play The Threepenny Opera, staged in Lima, Peru, starring, among others, Camila Mac Lennan, and in San Juan, Puerto Rico, where Luis Vigoreaux played the title character. The 1984 Mexican film had a 1986 sequel, El Hijo de Pedro Navaja (Pedro Navaja's Son), which starred Guillermo Capetillo.

Late in 2014, the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis welcomed a very special guest to their Manhattan stage: nine-time GRAMMY winning singer, songwriter, actor, and activist Rubén Blades. For one unforgettable night—music-directed by the JLCO’s bassist and “emerging master in the Latin jazz idiom” (DownBeat) Carlos Henriquez—the worlds of salsa and swing collided. Backed by one of the world’s leading big bands, Blades took the audience on a tour through his greatest hits.

Por la esquina del viejo barrio lo vi pasar Con el tumbao' que tienen los guapos al caminar Las manos siempre en los bolsillos de su gabán Pa' que no sepan en cuál de ellas lleva el puñal Usa un sombrero de ala ancha de medio lao Y zapatillas por si hay problemas salir volao' Lentes oscuros pa' que no sepan qué está mirando Y un diente de oro que cuando rie se ve brillando Como a tres cuadras de aquella esquina una mujer Va recorriendo la acera entera por quinta vez Y en un zaguán entra y se da un trago para olvidar Que el día está flojo y no hay clientes pa' trabajar Un carro pasa muy despacito por la avenida No tiene marcas pero toos' saben ques' policia uhm Pedro Navaja las manos siempre dentro 'el gabán Mira y sonríe y el diente de oro vuelve a brillar Mientras camina pasa la vista de esquina a esquina No se ve un alma está desierta toa' la avenida Cuando de pronto esa mujer sale del zaguán Y Pedro Navaja apreta un puño dentro 'el gabán Mira pa' un lado mira pal' otro y no ve a nadie Y a la carrera pero sin ruido cruza la calle Y mientras tanto en la otra acera va esa mujer Refunfuñando pues no hizo pesos con qué comer Mientras camina del viejo abrigo saca un revolver, esa mujer Iba a guardarlo en su cartera pa' que no estorbe Un trenta y ocho esmithanhueson del especial Que carga encima pa' que la libre de todo mal Y Pedro Navaja puñal en mano le fue pa' encima El diente de oro iba alumbrando Toa' la avenida, se le hizo facil Mientras reia el puñal le hundía sin compasión Cuando de pronto sonó un disparo como un canon Y Pedro Navaja cayó en la acera mientras veía, a esa mujer Que revolver en mano y de muerte herida ahí le decía Yo que pensaba 'hoy no es mi día estoy salá' Pero Pedro Navaja tu estas peor, no estas en na Y creanme gente que aunque hubo ruido nadien salió No hubo curiosos, no hubo preguntas nadie lloró Sólo un borracho con los dos cuerpos se tropezo Cojio el revolver, el puñal, los pesos y se marchó Y tropezando se fue cantando desafinao' El coro que aqui les traje y da el mensaje de mi cancion La vida te da sorpresas Sorpresas te da la vida ay dios Pedró navajas matón de esquina Quien a hierro mata, a hierro termina La vida te da sorpresas Sorpresas te da la vida ay dios Valiente pescador, al anzuelo que tiraste En vez de una sardina, un tiburón enganchaste La vida te da sorpresas Sorpresas te da la vida, ay dios Como decía mi abuelita
