Paroles et traduction Albert Plá - Pepe Botika

Pepe Botika

Pepe Botika es un honrado traficante
Tomando copas me lo encuentro to los días
Me cuenta historias de sus años en la cárcel
A veces había suerte y si tenía pasta salía.
Ay ay ay ay ay ay ay qué vergüenza,
Ay ay ay ay ay ay ay Señoría,
Ay ay ay ay ay ay ay ¿cuánto cuesta
Ay ay ay ay ay ay ay su amnistía?

Lo colocaron con las manos en la masa
Cuando venía del campo de coger higos
Entodavía no l'an visto por su casa
Lo tienen preventivo en una celda de castigo

Ay ay ay ay ay ay ay ¿Dónde están
Ay ay ay ay ay ay ay mis amigos?
Ay ay ay ay ay ay ay tán encerrados
Ay ay ay ay ay ay ay sin motivo.

Carabanchel, La Modelo, Herrera de la Mancha.
Cáceres II, Alcalá Meco, Puerto de Santa María.

El contrabando era su oficio más brillante
Y las fronteras se las salta to los días
Tengo colegas en casi todas las cárceles
Era de Plasencia me parece que decía

Un día le hiceron un registro al soterrizo
Y le encontraron 20 kilos de chorizo
Hashís, caballo y cocaína pal que compre
Pues ya lo dijo dios: no sólo de pan vive el hombre.

Ay ay ay ay ay ay ay ¿Dónde están
Ay ay ay ay ay ay ay mis amigos?
Ay ay ay ay ay ay ay tán encerrados
Ay ay ay ay ay ay ay sin motivo.

Salió un claro entre las nubes,
Hemos vuelto a ver el sol.
Como dos presos comunes,
En el tejao de una prisión.

Pepe Botika

Pepe Botika is an upstanding trafficker
I run into him every day when we’re having a drink
He tells me stories about his years in jail
Sometimes he had luck and if he had dough, he’d get out
Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear, oh dear, what a disgrace,
Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear, oh dear, Your Honor,
Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear, oh dear, how much is
Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear, oh dear, his amnesty?

They caught him red-handed
When he was coming back from the country after picking figs
They haven't seen him at his house yet
They’ve put him in preventive detention in a punishment cell

Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear, oh dear, where are
Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear, oh dear, my friends?
Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear, oh dear, they’re locked up
Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear, oh dear, for no reason.

Smuggling was his most brilliant trade
And he crosses borders every day
I have buddies in almost every jail
I think he said he was from Plasencia

One day they searched his basement
And they found 20 kilos of chorizo
Hash, horse, and cocaine for those who buy
Because as God said: man cannot live on bread alone

Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear, oh dear, where are
Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear, oh dear, my friends?
Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear, oh dear, they’re locked up
Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear, oh dear, for no reason.

A clearing appeared in the clouds,
We can see the sun again
Like two ordinary prisoners,
On the roof of a prison.
