Текст и перевод песни La Mona Jimenez - Colonia Barata

Colonia Barata

Somos una banda que ya ha despertado
Ni salio a la cancha ya esta trabajando
Limpiando parabrisas en algun esquina
Vendiendo en las calles diarios y revistas.
Somos ese grupo de la popular
Que trabaja en obras, o que es profesional
Tambien estudiantes que esperan con ansias
El fin de semana para ir a bailar.

Somos la colonia barata
Que tiene olor a pueblo y tiene murga de cancha
Somos la colonia barata
Una rueda que gira mata penas y baila.
Somos la colonia barata
Algo que no es bien visto pero que nunca falta
Somos la colonia barata
Somos los cuarteteros y el cuarteto nos mata.

Esta banda loca, que no tiene horarios
Tiene gusto a vino, tiene olor a barrio
A fruto de la vieja, amores de pareja
Es un balse que suena para una quincianera.
Esto es el cuarteto y no se confundan
Es un sentimiento, no es solo una murga
Es parte de nuestro folklore naciona
Es un pueblo alegre, con ganas de bailar.

Colonia Barata

We are a band that has already awakened
Not even out on the court and already working
Cleaning windshields on some corner
Selling newspapers and magazines in the streets.
We are that group from the popular neighborhood
That works in construction, or is a professional
Also students who eagerly await
The weekend to go dancing.

We are the cheap neighborhood
That smells like a town and has a stadium marching band
We are the cheap neighborhood
A wheel that turns, kills sorrows, and dances.
We are the cheap neighborhood
Something that's not well regarded but is never missing
We are the cheap neighborhood
We are the cuarteteros and cuarteto music kills us.

This crazy band, that has no schedules
Tastes like wine, smells like the neighborhood
Like the fruit of the old woman, loves of a couple
It's a float that plays for a fifteen-year-old girl's coming-of-age party.
This is cuarteto and don't be confused
It's a sentiment, not just a marching band
It's part of our national folklore
It's a happy town, with a desire to dance.
