Ande activo' por la calle
I walk active on the street
No confíe ni en su sombra
Don't even trust your own shadow
¿Por qué?
Why?
Porque por ahí se dice
Because they say around here
Que la envidia hoy salió a dar una ronda
That envy is out and about today
Ay, oye, mira, yo le bailo al ritmo que me ponga
Oh, listen, look, I dance to whatever rhythm they give me
Ay, oye, mira, yo le bailo al ritmo que me ponga
Oh, listen, look, I dance to whatever rhythm they give me
Pero no baje' con cotorra ni con la labia monga
But don't bring your chatter or your silly talk
Pa que no saquen los tambore' y te azoten como conga
So they don't bring out the drums and hit you like a conga
Los adicto' están buscando su cura
The addicts are looking for their cure
Los matone' están buscando contrato
The thugs are looking for a contract
La moraleja es que Tony Montana
The moral is that Tony Montana
Nació el día que se cansó de ser lavaplato'
Was born the day he got tired of being a dishwasher
No puedo ocultar el saoco que me dio el callejón
I can't hide the groove that the alley gave me
Yeh, ma
Yeh, ma
Los viejo' del barrio huelen perico si beben ron
The old guys in the neighborhood smell coke if they drink rum
Llego a Hard como Correa en el jonrón
I arrive at Hard like Correa on a home run
Las ficha' en la mesa pa que nunca falte el plato
The chips on the table so the plate never runs dry
Yo sé que con mi brillo natural los opaco
I know that with my natural shine I outshine them
Pedro y Juanito taban en hacer atraco'
Pedro and Juanito were up to some heists
Respeto a Rubén y a Héctor, pero tas oyendo a Michael
Respect to Rubén and Héctor, but you're hearing Michael
Criao entre popolo', oyendo guaracha y salsa
Raised among the people, listening to guaracha and salsa
Me enseñaron a identificar la gente falsa
They taught me to spot the fake people
Hay un mal de envidia, y yo chillin' en mi balsa
There's an evil of envy, while I chill on my raft
La cadena que más pesa es la de venganza
The heaviest chain is the one of revenge
Ande activo' por la calle
I’m out and about on the street
No confíe ni en su sombra
Don't even trust your own shadow
Porque por ahí se dice
Because they say out there
Que la envidia hoy salió a dar una ronda
That envy went out for a round today
Ay, oye, mira, yo le bailo al ritmo que me ponga
Oh, hey, look, I dance to whatever rhythm you give me
Ay, oye, mira, yo le bailo al ritmo que me ponga
Oh, hey, look, I dance to the rhythm they set for me
Pero no baje' con cotorra ni con la labia monga
But don't come down with chatter or empty sweet talk
Pa que no saquen los tambore' y te azoten como conga
So they won't bring out the drums and hit you like a conga
Ponle, ponle
Bring it, bring it
Al ritmo que me pongan
To the rhythm they give me
Hoy día, cualquiera te sale informante, te juro que ya no me asombran
These days, anyone can turn informant, I swear I'm not surprised anymore
Yo bailo igual que con la linda, la fea, la flaca y la gorda
I dance just like with the pretty, the ugly, the skinny, and the fat
Al ritmo que me pongan
To the rhythm they give me
Dondequiera que llego, rodan la alfombra
Wherever I go, the carpet rolls out
Con los santo' no rueguen, los collare' no rompan
Don't beg with the saints, don't break the chains
Y no to el que venda barato se le compra
And not everyone who sells cheap gets bought.
Al ritmo que me pongan
To the rhythm they put me.
Si tú la ve', tú dímele que yo ando listo y activo, que no se me esconda
If you see her, tell her I'm ready and alert, so she doesn't hide from me.
Le hace el favor al diablo y nunca se lo cobra
He does the devil a favor and never collects.
Al ritmo que me pongan
To the rhythm they put me.
Yo quiero, no se va a notar, ay, ese amor que yo le tengo al callejón
I want it, it won't be obvious, oh, that love I have for the alley.
Un saludo al callejón
A shout-out to the alley.
Al ritmo que me pongan
To the rhythm they put me.
Oye, no puedo ocultar el saoco que me dio el callejón
Hey, I can't hide the groove that the alley gave me.
Al ritmo que me pongan
To the rhythm they put me.
Esto es pa mi callejón, pa mi callejón, pa mi callejón
This is for my alley, for my alley, for my alley
Al ritmo que me pongan
To the beat they give me
Esto es pa mi callejón, pa mi callejón, pa mi callejón
This is for my alley, for my alley, for my alley
Al ritmo que me pongan
To the beat they give me
