Mete la mano en el bolsillo
Put your hand in your pocket
Saca y abre tu cuchillo y ten cuidao
Take out and open your knife and be careful
Pónganme oído en este barrio
Listen up in this neighborhood
Muchos guapos lo han matao
Many tough guys have been killed
Calle Luna, calle Sol
Luna Street, Sun Street
Oiga, señor, si usted quiere su vida
Hey, sir, if you want your life
Evitar es mejor o la tienes perdida
It's better to avoid it, or you’ll lose it
Mete la mano en el bolsillo
Put your hand in your pocket
Saca y abre tu cuchillo y ten cuidao
Take out and open your knife and be careful
Oye, ten cuidao
Hey, be careful
Pónganme oído en este barrio
Listen up in this neighborhood
Muchos guapos lo han matao
Many tough guys have been killed
Y que mucho han matao
And many have been killed
Calle Luna, calle Sol
Luna Street, Sun Street
¿A dónde?
Where to?
Calle Luna, calle Sol
Luna Street, Sun Street
Mire, señora, agarre bien su cartera
Look, lady, hold your purse tight
No conoce este barrio, aquí asaltan a cualquiera
You don’t know this neighborhood; here anyone can get robbed
Mete la mano en el bolsillo
Put your hand in your pocket
Saca y abre tu cuchillo y ten cuidao
Take out and open your knife and be careful
Pónganme oído en este barrio
Listen up in this neighborhood
Muchos guapos lo han matao
Many tough guys have been killed
Calle Luna, calle Sol
Luna Street, Sun Street
Calle Luna, calle Sol
Luna Street, Sun Street
En los barrios de guapos no se vive tranquilo
In the neighborhoods of tough guys, you don’t live peacefully
Mide bien tus palabras o no vales ni un kilo
Watch your words carefully or you’re worth less than a penny
Abre, que voy
Open up, I'm coming
Eh
Eh
Camina p'alante, no mires para el lao
Walk forward, don't look to the side
Oye, camina no mires p'al lao
Hey, walk, don’t look to the side
Camina p'alante, no mires para el lao
Walk forward, don't look to the side
Tú tienes un santo pero no eres babalao
You have a guardian, but you’re not a trickster
Camina p'alante, no mires para el lao
Walk forward, don't look to the side
Y ten cuidao, y ten cuidao
And be careful, and be careful
Camina p'alante, no mires para el lao
Walk forward, don't look to the side
Cuidao saca tu coco pelao
Watch out, take out your shaved coconut
Camina p'alante, no mires para el lao
Walk forward, don't look to the side
Camina p'alante, babalao
Walk forward, trickster
Camina p'alante, no mires para el lao
Walk forward, don't look to the side
Saca los bolsillos, tú estás arrancao
Empty your pockets; you're being stripped
Camina p'alante, no mires para el lao
Walk forward, don't look to the side
Dile que fuiste a La Perla y pelao te han dejao
Tell them you went to La Perla and got robbed
Camina p'alante, no mires para el lao
Walk forward, don't look to the side
