Paroles et traduction Maldita Vecindad y Los Hijos del Quinto Patio - Camaleón

Camaleón

Hace un buen año vato
Que no te licaba.
En la chamba tu jurabas
Que carnales para siempre
Y ahora vato na'más verte,
El destino es decisión.
Y ahora vato, mala suerte,
Tú elegiste camaleón.

Y digo
Cama, cama, cama, camaleón

Guácha, se te va a quemar
Esa fusca con que buscas
De tragar.
Trucha, se te va a quemar
Esa fusca con que buscas de tragar.
Trucha, se te va a quemar
Esa placa con que quieres
Farolear.

Buzo, no se va a olvidar
Que volteaste bandera ¡nada más!

Lica, te vas a quemar,
Esa chamba es pura lumbre
Camará.

Una,
Una tarde al acabar la marcha
Cayó la razzia:
Provocadores pasándose de
Lanza.

Con rabia en la mirada
Yo miré a quién me pegaba
Y detrás de la jugada
Te vi a ti camarada, te vi a ti
Camaleón.

Policía soy, dijiste,
El que no transa no avanza.

Aspirante a judicial,
Golpeador a contratar,
Te olvidaste del barrio,
El dinero es tu verdad.

Cama, cama, cama, camaleón

Trucha camaleón.

Chameleon

Baby, it's been a good year
Since you said goodbye.
At work you swore
That we were friends forever
And now, baby, just looking at you,
It's clear that destiny chooses.
And now, baby, bad luck,
You chose to be a chameleon.

And I say,
Cha, cha, cha, chameleon

Watch out, you're gonna get burned
With that gun you use to hunt
For food.
Watch out, you're gonna get burned
With that gun you use to hunt for food.
Watch out, you're gonna get burned
With that badge you want
To show off.

Diver, you're not going to forget
That you turned your back on the flag, nothing more!

Man, you're gonna get burned,
That job is pure fire
Comrade.

One,
One afternoon at the end of the march
The raid came:
Provocateurs going too far
With their spears.

With fury in my eyes
I looked to see who was hitting me.
And behind the ambush
I saw you, comrade, I saw you
Chameleon.

I'm a cop, you said,
He who doesn't cheat doesn't get ahead.

Aspiring to be a judge,
Hitman for hire,
You forgot about the neighborhood,
Money is your truth.

Cha, cha, cha, chameleon

Watch out, chameleon.
