Paroles et traduction Raúl Paz - Mi Barrio

Mi Barrio

Mi Barrio

Salio de casa 'e teresa y un doble nueve en la mesa
Provoca la algarabia, en el barrio de belen.
Llama al "ambia" que esta al la'o y se prendieron un prajo
Para empezar coloca'o, y ver que se inventa hoy
Pero en la esquina de abajo, desde hace dos dias ya
Lo vigila un "abakwa" con pinta y cara de malo.
Cuentan de una larga historia que en ciudades sin memoria
Suele pasar entre dos que quieren hacer la ley.
Por amores o por fe, eso no es lo que aqui importa
Cuando la cosa esta corta, en el barrio de belen.
Dime que puedo yo hacer?
Hay muchos que ya se fueron al cielo
Y por alla en "cayo hueso" la gente que lo sabia
No se metieron en eso.
Terminaron y salieron, porque el humo quita el miedo.
Solo queda demostrar. "maldita reputacion!"
- Alla vamos.
- Alli voy.
Salio al medio de la acera
El hierro que mata y quema en plena demostracion.
Sangre, la queja de un grito que lo mato.
Cayo en la acera el guapo y se termino.
Salio gritando teresa y el domino de la mesa
Se quedo sin jugador
Eso es lo que pasa hoy, lo que pasa aqui en Mi Barrio.

My Neighborhood

My Neighborhood

He left Teresa's house, a double nine on the table
He provokes the commotion in the neighborhood of Belén.
He calls "Ambia" who is next door and they light up a joint
To start getting high, and see what he comes up with today
But on the corner below, for two days now
A "Bakwa" with a bad look and face watches him.
They tell of a long story that in cities without memory
It often happens between two who want to make the law.
For love or for faith, that's not what matters here
When things are tough in the neighborhood of Belén.
Tell me, what can I do?
Many have gone to heaven
And over there in "Cayo Hueso" the people who knew
Didn't get involved.
They finished and they left, because the smoke takes away the fear.
All that's left is to prove it. "Damn reputation!"
- Here we go.
- There I go.
He came out into the middle of the sidewalk
The iron that kills and burns in full demonstration.
Blood, the moan of a scream that killed him.
The handsome man fell on the sidewalk and it was over.
Teresa came out screaming and the dominoes on the table
Were left without a player.
That's what happens today, what happens here in My Neighborhood.
