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

El Chulo

Viene aquel chulo cruzando la Alameda
Con la changuita que ya ligó
Se faja, se peina
Nomas una chaineada
Que facha, que tipo
Le tiran unas chavas

Tiene 10 años dejados en el tanque
Aunque, me cai, ni la sintió
Poncha que rola, prendiendo la choya
De aquél que se deje encandilar

Viene caminando, casi está bailando
Chatos pasan raudos, los viene driblando
Se va con la cholita
Se chuta una viejita
Se tira un chanflazo
Ahora un cabezaso
Y vive goleando la canija vida

Sus manos rolada
Su cara charrasqueada
Sus ojos, aguas!
Te cachan de volada

Su mujer baila en el congal Tijuana
Ahí se coopera con la luz
El alma solita aguanta siempre la vara
El miedo no cabe, se va a la tiznada
A la tiznada

Viene caminando, casi está bailando
Chatos pasan raudos, los viene driblando
Se va con la cholita
Se chuta una viejita
Se tira un chanflazo
Ahora un cabezaso
Y vive goleando la canija vida

The Hustler

There goes the hustler, crossing the Alameda
With the chick he's just picked up
He struts and he preens
Just a gold chain
What style, what a guy
The girls are throwing themselves at him

He's got 10 years left in the tank
But, hey, he hasn't even noticed
Driving a hot rod, lighting up the joint
For anyone who dares to get in his way

He walks along, almost dancing
Weaving in and out of the traffic
He goes with the young girl
He swindles an old lady
He scores a penalty
Now a free kick
And he keeps on scoring in this damn life

His hands are calloused
His face is weathered
His eyes, watch out!
They'll catch you in a flash

His wife dances at the Tijuana congal
That's where he pitches in for the lights
His solitary soul always keeps the faith
Fear has no place here, it goes to hell
To hell

He walks along, almost dancing
Weaving in and out of the traffic
He goes with the young girl
He swindles an old lady
He scores a penalty
Now a free kick
And he keeps on scoring in this damn life
