El Tlatoani del barrio
era de La Lagunilla,
tenia su pandilla y su territorio delimitado.
Bailaba chachacha y mambo,
y el nuevo ritmo del rocanrol.

Era feo y al box le hacia,
en cada vecindad tenia
el amor y la amistad
de la hija, la madre y la portera

Un dia se encontró con
El señor de La Guerrero,
afamado bailarin que no estaba nada feo.
No cantaba mal las rancheras
y con los puños muy habil era.

Al ver la conveniencia,
La Lagunilla y El Señorio de La Guerrero,
y algun otro reino
formaron la Triple Alianza que
temida fue por toda la raza.

Lo que no le parecio bien
al Tlatoani de La Lagunilla
es que se quedo sin ninguna reinita,
pues el bailaron Guerrero
a toda chamaca se la quedaba viendo.
Con este gran mal y teniendo muy triste
el corazon, solo hallo una solucion,
enamoro a la hermana.

Haima wayo wangi haim
Haima wayo wanga haam (x2)

El Tlatoani del barrio
lo que el creyo
que un juego era
hizo que por vez primera
el se enamorara (x2)

y de alli yo naciera
yo naciera.

The Hood King
from La Lagunilla,
had his crew and his turf marked.
Danced chachacha and mambo,
and the new rhythm of rock and roll.

He was ugly and into boxing,
in every neighborhood he had
the love and friendship
of the daughter, the mother, and the doorwoman.

One day he met
The Lord of La Guerrero,
a famous dancer who wasn't bad looking at all.
He didn't sing rancheras badly
did well with his fists.

Seeing the opportunity,
La Lagunilla and The Lordship of La Guerrero,
and some other kingdom
formed the Triple Alliance
feared by the whole race.

What didn't sit well
with the Hood King of La Lagunilla
was that he was left without a queen,
because the Guerrero dancer
was eyeing every girl.
With this great wrong and a very sad
heart, he only found one solution,
he fell in love with the sister.

Haima wayo wangi haim
Haima wayo wanga haam (x2)

The Hood King of the hood
what he thought
was just a game
made him fall in love
for the first time (x2)

and from there I was born
I was born.

Haima wayo wangi haim
Haima wayo wanga haam (x2)
