In special number 5En especial número 5
They finally managed to lock upPor fin pudieron encerrar
One of the big dangersA uno de los grandes peligros
To the communityPara la comunidad

They were a bunch of thugsEran un chorro de bandidos
Coming from BogotáQue venían de Bogotá
The colonel declaredDeclaraba el coronel
He aspired to be a generalQue aspiraba a general

For trying to cheat this townPor tratar de defraudar este pueblo
For the damages to the hall not fulfilledPor los daños al salón no cumplidos
For throwing the sheet music on the groundPor arrojar las partituras al suelo
And destroying their own instrumentsY destruir sus propios instrumentos
For stealing our cashPor habernos robado la plata
And completely wrecking the coliseumY arrasar completamente el coliseo
We won't let them make a callNo dejaremos que hagan una llamada
We're gonna treat them like dogs!Vamos a tratarlos como perros!

And in special number 5Y en especial número 5
Look at these crying facesMira estas caras de llorar
Not even a little benchNi tan siquiera un banquito
To lean onPa' poderse apoyar

Drinking soda from bagsTomando soda en saquitos
Not a cookie to munch onNi una galleta pa' jamar
Dirty, tired, and feeling smallSucio, cansado y humildecito
20 hours waiting20 Horas de esperar

For trying to cheat this townPor tratar de defraudar este pueblo
For the damages to the hall not fulfilledPor los daños al salón no cumplidos
For throwing the sheet music on the groundPor arrojar las partituras al suelo
And destroying their own instrumentsY destruir sus propios instrumentos
For stealing our cashPor habernos robado la plata
And completely wrecking the coliseumY arrasar completamente el coliseo
We won't let them make a callNo dejaremos que hagan una llamada
We're gonna treat them like dogs!Vamos a tratarlos como perros!

That's why my colonel (oh Colonel)Por eso mi coronel (ay Coronel)
I don't care what they say (give me a call)No me importa lo que digan (dame una llamada)
Remember the sayingAcuérdese del refrán
Love is repaid with love (what a play!)Amor con amor se paga (que clase de Jugada!)

That's why my colonel (listen to me)Por eso mi coronel (oyeme)
I don't care what they say (what a kick)No me importa lo que digan (tremenda Patada)
Remember the sayingAcuérdese del refrán
Love is repaid with loveAmor con amor se paga

I was coming so happy and you were waiting for meYo venía tan feliz y usted me esperaba
(Love is repaid with love)(Amor con amor se paga)
Not realizing the mess that was formingSin darme cuente del revolú que se formaba
(Love is repaid with love)(Amor con amor se paga)
And in the hustle, the businessman was escapingY en el corre-corre el empresario se escapaba
(Love is repaid with love)(Amor con amor se paga)
