El Tsurito Lyrics Translation – Gabito Ballesteros | Junior H
The songwriter crafts vivid scenes, like a cousin being told to leave a car after ‘too much powder.’ One line says, ‘The Saints never turn their backs on me,’ showing loyalty in the face of danger. The imagery of a ‘candy store’ underlines the chaos of confrontation.
Primo Bajese Ya Del TsuritoCousin, get out of the Tsuru car right now.
Ya Se Ch#ngo Mucho Ese P#lvito Bendito Pa’ La NarizYou’ve already had too much of that ‘powder’ for your nose.
La Mision Tiene Que Cumplir Ya Va Repleto De ValorYou have to complete the mission, you’re already full of courage.
No Tenga MiedoDon’t be afraid.
Viejo Es Pa’ Que Ya No Tiemble El DedoOld man, it’s just so your finger doesn’t tremble anymore.
Trucha Por Si Ve Algun Movimiento Nos Tenemos Que PelarStay alert, if you see any movement, we have to escape.
Escuche El Radio Bien Mi Apa Y En Cuanto Deje De TronarListen to the radio closely, boss, and as soon as the firing stops,
Pegamos Fugawe’ll make our getaway.
Los Santos Nunca Me Dan La EspaldaThe Saints never turn their backs on me.
Le Di Un Beso A Los Collares Y El C#ernito Me TercieI kissed my necklaces and slung my ‘weapon’ across my chest.
Los Del A# Me Vocearon FuertementeThe authorities shouted at me loudly.
Dije Plebes No Se Asusten La Neta Traemos Con QueI said, boys, don’t get scared, the truth is we have what it takes.
Parecia DulceriaIt looked like a candy store,
Marinela Nos Caianwhen the ‘military’ descended upon us like Marinela snacks.
Y Las B#las Como DulcesAnd the ‘shots’, just like candies,
Van A Volar En Contra Miaare going to fly right at me.
Cuanto Quiere Pa’ Que Me Quite Este CircoHow much do you want to call off this circus for me?
Que Aqui Hay Huevos Aqui Hay Feria Del P#ricoBecause we have courage here, and we have money from the ‘product’.
Ya Se Nos Va Por AiYou can just walk away right now.
No Me Pesa Pa’ Picharles A Sus Ratas Desechables Una RondaI don’t mind treating your disposable pawns to a round.
Hay C#ernos Pinas L#nzapapas Hay BufetThere are ‘rifles’, ‘explosives’, ‘launchers’, it’s a whole buffet.
Usted Diga Si Hacemos Las Cosas BienYou tell me if we’re going to do things right.
No Tenemos Que PelearWe don’t have to fight.
Yo Lo Ayudo Usted Me Ayuda Y Si Le Gusta Lo Simple No Me SirveI help you, you help me, and if you like things simple, you’re of no use to me.
El Sargento Dijo La Gente De HuevosThe sergeant said, courageous people,
La Neta Mi Chavalon Con Esos Me Gusta Pelearthe truth is, my boy, those are the ones I like to fight.
Y Que Gusto Sepa Somos De Los MismosAnd what a pleasure to know we’re made of the same cloth.
Nomas Que Si Le Doy Power Nos Tenemos Que ArreglarExcept if I give you power, we have to come to an arrangement.
Parecia DulceriaIt looked like a candy store,
Marinela Nos Caianwhen the ‘military’ descended upon us like Marinela snacks.
Y Las B#las Como DulcesAnd the ‘shots’, just like candies,
Van A Volar En Contra Miaare going to fly right at me.
Quiero Hablar Con El EncargadoI want to speak with the person in charge,
O Que Aqui Nos Lleve El D#abloor let the ‘devil’ take us right here.
