Paroles et traduction Héctor Lavoe feat. Willie Colón - Juanito Alimaña

Juanito Alimaña

La calle es una selva de cemento
Y de fieras salvajes, cómo no
Ya no hay quien salga loco de contento
Donde quiera te espera lo peor

Donde quiera te espera lo peor

Juanito Alimaña, con mucha maña llega al mostrador
Saca su cuchillo sin preocupación
Dice que le entreguen la registradora
Saca los billetes, saca un pistolón, ¡pum!

Sale como el viento en su disparada
Y, aunque ya lo vieron, nadie ha visto nada
Juanito Alimaña va a la fechoría
Se toma su caña, fabrica su orgía

La gente le teme porque es de cuidado
Pa meterle mano hay que ser un bravo
Si lo meten preso sale al otro día
Porque un primo suyo ta en la policía

Juanito Alimaña sí tiene maña, es malicia viva
Y siempre se alinea con el que está arriba
Y aunque a medio mundo le robó su plata
Todos lo comentan, nadie lo delata
Y aunque a todo el mundo le robó la plata
Todos lo comentan, nadie lo delata

(En su mundo, mujeres, fumada y caña)
(Atracando vive, Juanito Alimaña)
Cuando él era muchachito las cositas te pedía
Y si tú no se las dabas, las mangaba
Como quiera las cogía

(En su mundo, mujeres, fumada y caña)
(Atracando vive, Juanito Alimaña)
Ese, ese tumba lo que ve
Si lo ve mal puesto
Anda, cuida tu cartera
Ese sí que sabe de eso

(En su mundo, mujeres, fumada y caña)
Atracando, atracando (atracando vive, Juanito Alimaña)
Si el otro día le encontré
Y guiao, él me decía
Tumba aquí lo que tú quieras
Pues mi primo es policía

(En su mundo, mujeres, fumada y caña)
Ese es, ese es (atracando vive, Juanito Alimaña)

Oye, como alma que lleva el diablo
Se tira su disparada
Y, aunque la gente lo vieron, no lo ratean porque nadie ha visto nada

(En su mundo, mujeres, fumada y caña)
(Atracando vive, Juanito Alimaña)

Juanito The Pest

The street is a concrete jungle
And of wild beasts, how could it not be?
There is no one who leaves crazy with joy
Wherever you go, the worst awaits

Wherever you go, the worst awaits

Juanito The Pest, with a lot of cunning reaches toward the cash register
He takes out his knife without worry
He tells them to hand over the cash register
He takes the bills, pulls out a gun, bam!

Leaves like the wind in his getaway
And, even though they saw him, no one saw anything
Juanito The Pest is going to mischief
He has a drink, he makes his orgy

People fear him because he's dangerous
To lay a hand on him, you have to be brave
If he's put in jail, he'll get out the next day
Because a cousin of his works for the police

Juanito The Pest does have cunning, he's the personification of malice
And he always sides with the one who's on top
And even though he stole everyone's money
Everyone talks about it, no one informs on him
And even though he stole everyone's money
Everyone talks about it, no one informs on him

(In his world, women, joints, and drinks)
(He lives robbing, Juanito The Pest)
When he was a kid, he asked for things
And if you didn't give them to him, he'd steal them
He'd get them anyway

(In his world, women, joints, and drinks)
(He lives robbing, Juanito The Pest)
That guy, that guy grabs whatever he sees
If he sees something that's not nailed down
Go on, take care of your wallet
He really knows how to do that

(In his world, women, joints, and drinks)
Robbing, robbing (he lives robbing, Juanito The Pest)
If the other day I found him
Tipped off, he was telling me
Steal whatever you want from here
Because my cousin is a policeman

(In his world, women, joints, and drinks)
That's him, that's him (he lives robbing, Juanito The Pest)

Hey, like a soul that the devil carries off
He makes his getaway
And, even though the people saw him, they don't snitch on him because no one saw anything

(In his world, women, joints, and drinks)
(He lives robbing, Juanito The Pest)
