Paroles et traduction Willie Colón - Juanito Alimaña

Juanito Alimaña

La calle es una selva de cemento
Y de fieras salvajes, como 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 pa' 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 'tá en la policía

Juanito Alimaña si 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

A la la ley ley ley ley

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

Cuando él era muchachito
Las cositas que pedía
Y si tú no se las daba, las mangaba
Como quiera la 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 lo encontré
Y guilla'o, él me decía
Tumba aquí lo que tú quieras
Pues mi primo es policía

En su mundo mujeres, fumada, y caña (Ese es)
Atracando (Ese es) 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

Juanito Alimaña

The street is a concrete jungle
And of wild beasts, of course
There is no longer anyone who leaves crazy with joy
Wherever you go, the worst awaits you
Wherever you go, the worst awaits you

Juanito Alimaña arrives at the counter with a lot of guile
He pulls out his knife without worry
He says to hand over the cash register
He takes out the bills, takes out a pistol, bam!

He runs like the wind, on the run
And although they saw him, no one has seen anything
Juanito Alimaña has a drink for the misdeed
He manufactures his orgy

People fear him because he is cautious
To put a hand on him, you have to be brave
If they put him in jail, he will go free the next day
Because a cousin of his is in the police

Juanito Alimaña, if he has guile, it is malice
And he always aligns himself with the one above
And although he stole money from half the world
Everyone talks about it, no one reports it
And although he stole money from everyone
Everyone talks about it, no one reports it

To the law, law, law, law

In his world, women, smoking and drinking
Juanito Alimaña lives by mugging

When he was a little boy
The little things he asked for
And if you didn't give them to him, he would steal them
He would take them anyway

In his world, women, smoking and drinking
Juanito Alimaña lives by mugging

That one, that one knocks down what he sees
If he sees it badly placed
Look after your wallet
He knows about that

In his world, women, smoking and drinking (Mugging)
Mugging (Mugging) Juanito Alimaña lives

If the other day I found him
And guilla'o, he told me
Knock down whatever you want here
Because my cousin is a policeman

In his world, women, smoking and drinking (That's him)
Mugging (That's him) Juanito Alimaña lives

Listen, like a soul driven by the devil
He shoots
And although people saw him
They don't report him because no one has seen anything

In his world, women, smoking and drinking
