Paroles et traduction Gerardo Mejia - En Mi Barrio

En Mi Barrio

Aquí en mi barrio viven mis amigos y mis adversarios
Muere gente diariamente y no por accidente
De una bala en la frente, es eficiente
Pero en cada incidente cae un pobre inocente

¡Coke!
Se vende como pan en las esquinas
¡Crack!
Es popular en todas las cantinas
¡Ice!
Ha reemplazado frascos de heroína
No hay disciplina, ni Dios, ni su doctrina

En mi barrio (¡y, ah, eoeh!)
¡En mi barrio! (¡y, ah, eoeh!)

"Joven con pistola asalta a niña y la viola"
Se espera el veredicto, el chico, un exconvicto
"Niño, muerto de hambre, roba y muere en charco de sangre"
Puras injusticias llenan las noticias

Bienvenidos a mi barrio un día ordinario
Tenemos más sorpresas, el día recién empieza
Una mañana ideal para el final de un criminal
Nada fuera de lo normal, el funeral de otro carnal

En mi barrio (¡y, ah, eoeh!)
¡En mi barrio! (¡y, ah, eoeh!)
En mi barrio (¡y, ah, eoeh!)
¡En mi barrio! (¡y, ah, eoeh!)

Señor Juez, nos encontramos otra vez
Y ha pasado solo un mes
Frente al jurado soy juzgado
El resultado de mi niñez

Con mi abogado al lado
Preparado para ser enviado
Donde el condado me ha mandado
A que yo pague por mis pecados

¿A eso llaman castigo?
Soy testigo de mis amigos
Pero yo no busco enemigos
Prefiero decir nada, me río a carcajadas
Encerrado una temporada no me caerán puñaladas

En mi barrio (¡y, ah, eoeh!)
¡En mi barrio! (¡y, ah, eoeh!)
En mi barrio (¡y, ah, eoeh!)
¡En mi barrio! (¡y, ah, eoeh!)

En mi barrio...
(¡Mi barrio!)

En mi barrio (¡Bienvenido... eeeh...!)
¡En mi barrio! (¡aaah...!)
En mi barrio (¡Bienvenido a mi querido barrio... ¡aaah!)
¡En mi barrio! (¡Bienvenido a mi querido barrio!)

En mi barrio (El comisario no anda en mi barrio)
¡En mi barrio! (El comisario no anda en mi barrio)
En mi barrio (El comisario no anda en mi barrio)
¡En mi barrio! (El comisario no anda en mi barrio)

En mi barrio (El comisario no anda en mi barrio)
¡En mi barrio! (El comisario no anda en mi barrio)
En mi barrio (El comisario no anda en mi barrio)
¡En mi barrio! (El comisario no anda en mi barrio)

En mi barrio (El comisario no anda en mi barrio)
¡En mi barrio! (El comisario no anda en mi barrio)
En mi barrio (El comisario no anda en mi barrio)...

In My Neighborhood

Here in my neighborhood live my friends and my adversaries
People die daily and not by accident
From a bullet in the forehead, it's efficient
But in each incident an innocent falls

Coke!
It sells like bread on the corners
Crack!
It's popular in all the bars
Ice!
Has replaced vials of heroin
There is no discipline, no God, or his doctrine

In my neighborhood (and, ah, eoeh!)
In my neighborhood! (and, ah, eoeh!)

"Young man with a gun assaults a girl and rapes her"
The verdict is expected, the boy, an ex-convict
"Child, starving, steals and dies in a pool of blood"
Pure injustices fill the news

Welcome to my neighborhood on an ordinary day
We have more surprises, the day is just beginning
An ideal morning for the end of a criminal
Nothing out of the ordinary, the funeral of another carnal

In my neighborhood (and, ah, eoeh!)
In my neighborhood! (and, ah, eoeh!)
In my neighborhood (and, ah, eoeh!)
In my neighborhood! (and, ah, eoeh!)

Mr. Judge, we meet again
And it's only been a month
Before the jury I am judged
The result of my childhood

With my lawyer by my side
Prepared to be sent
Where the county has sent me
To pay for my sins

Is that what they call punishment?
I am a witness to my friends
But I do not seek enemies
I prefer to say nothing, I laugh out loud
Locked up for a season, I will not be stabbed

In my neighborhood (and, ah, eoeh!)
In my neighborhood! (and, ah, eoeh!)
In my neighborhood (and, ah, eoeh!)
In my neighborhood! (and, ah, eoeh!)

In my neighborhood...
(My neighborhood!)

In my neighborhood (Welcome... eeeh...!)
In my neighborhood! (aaah...!)
In my neighborhood (Welcome to my dear neighborhood... aaah!)
In my neighborhood! (Welcome to my dear neighborhood!)

In my neighborhood (The commissioner doesn't come to my neighborhood)
In my neighborhood! (The commissioner doesn't come to my neighborhood)
In my neighborhood (The commissioner doesn't come to my neighborhood)
In my neighborhood! (The commissioner doesn't come to my neighborhood)

In my neighborhood (The commissioner doesn't come to my neighborhood)
In my neighborhood! (The commissioner doesn't come to my neighborhood)
In my neighborhood (The commissioner doesn't come to my neighborhood)
In my neighborhood! (The commissioner doesn't come to my neighborhood)

In my neighborhood (The commissioner doesn't come to my neighborhood)
In my neighborhood! (The commissioner doesn't come to my neighborhood)
In my neighborhood (The commissioner doesn't come to my neighborhood)...
