Este es el noticiero de la mañana
This is the morning news
El único que le dice lo que le da la gana
The only one that tells you what it wants
Después de un corte regresamos
After a break, we’ll be back
Con lo más completo
With the most complete
De lo que soportamos
Of what we endure
O.J. salió libre de culpa
O.J. was found not guilty
Diez millones dio Michael por disculpa
Ten million Michael gave as an apology
Vapulearon a otro indocumentado
They beat up another undocumented
Fue en defensa propia
It was self-defense
Dijeron los del jurado
Said the jurors
Se dio a la fuga el expresidente
The ex-president took off
Con lo que le quitó a toda su gente
With what he stole from all his people
Juega en un casino en Montecarlo
He's playing in a casino in Monte Carlo
Y bebe champán
And drinking champagne
Y aquí nadie va a juzgarlo
And here, no one will judge him
Y va a nevar en Haití
And it's going to snow in Haiti
Y hay bajo cero en Puerto Rico
And it's below zero in Puerto Rico
No salga usted de allí
Don't you step out of there
Que el tráfico está en la hora pico
The traffic is at rush hour
Y hay más esmog que en Chernobil
And there's more smog than in Chernobyl
Abrace a los suyos y aférrese
Embrace your own and hold on tight
Que aquí no es bueno el que ayuda
Because here it's not the one who helps that matters
Sino el que no jode
But the one who doesn't cause trouble
Acuérdese
Remember this
El Vaticano prohibió los anticonceptivos
The Vatican banned contraceptives
Prefieren niños con hambre que un preservativo
They prefer hungry kids over a condom
Y las cigüeñas trabajan a dobles turnos
And the storks are working double shifts
Pensarán abrir
They might consider opening
Sucursales en Saturno
Branches on Saturn
El fútbol gana terreno en los Estados Unidos
Soccer is gaining ground in the United States
Quieren cambiar la estructura pa'que tenga sentido
They want to change the structure so it makes sense
Hay que agrandar las porterías
We need to make the goals bigger
Y ocho tiempos fuera
And eight time-outs
Pa'vendernos porquerías
To sell us junk
Se cree que el Chupacabras es un caso típico
They believe the Chupacabra is a typical case
Producto de la mixtura entre dos políticos
A product of the mix between two politicians
Es un depredador furtivo
It's a stealthy predator
Habrase visto
Has it ever been seen
Semejante parecido
Such a resemblance
Y va a nevar en Haití
And it's gonna snow in Haiti
Y hay bajo cero en Puerto Rico
And there's below zero in Puerto Rico
No salga usted de allí
Don't you leave from there
Que el tráfico está en la hora pico
Because the traffic is at rush hour
Y hay más esmog que en Chernobil
And there's more smog than in Chernobyl
Abrace a los suyos y aférrese
Hug your loved ones and hold on tight
Que aquí no es bueno el que ayuda
Because here, the one who helps isn't the good one
Sino el que no jode
But the one who doesn't mess things up
Acuérdese
Remember this
Si le hemos parecido amarillistas
If we've seemed alarmist to you
Disculpe usted
Excuse me
No hubo noticias optimistas
There was no good news
Y va a nevar en Haití
And it's going to snow in Haiti
Y hay bajo cero en Puerto Rico
And it's below zero in Puerto Rico
No salga usted de allí
Don't you leave there
Que el tráfico está en la hora pico
Because the traffic is at peak hour
Y hay más esmog que en Chernobil
And there's more smog than in Chernobyl
Abrace a los suyos y aférrese
Embrace your loved ones and hold on tight
Que aquí no es bueno el que ayuda
Because here, what matters isn't the one who helps
Sino el que no jode
But the one who doesn't mess things up
Acuérdese
Remember
Hasta mañana
Until tomorrow
