Misunderstood Chilango

Chilango Incomprendido

No one told him to leave his homeNadie le dijo que se fuera de su casa
No one told him what to donadie le dijo lo que tenia que hacer
He left on a Sunday as dawn was breakingsalio un domingo cuando estaba amaneciendo
And they never saw him againy nunca lo volvieron a ver
He left his town because he had no jobdejo su pueblo porque ya no tenia chamba
He came to hustle in the big cityse vino a talonear a la gran ciudad
Here in Mexico City, he's done it allaca en el d.f. ya la a hecho de todo
Even been a drug dealer and a robberhasta de narco y atracador
Chilango, misunderstood ChilangoChilango, chilango incomprendido
Chilango, forced by necessitychilango, defequense por necesidad
He cruises around in a convertible caranda rolando en un carro convertible
In any subway or on any avenueen cualquier metro o en cualquier eje vial
In that car during the day he sells juices and at night he sells hot dogsen ese coche en el dia vende jugos y por la noche vende hot dogs
Chilango, determined Chilangochilango, chilango aferrado
Chilango, forced by necessitychilango, defequense por necesidad
Many jack-of-all-trades, who arrivemuchos mil usos, que llegan
Daily here, we no longer fitdiariamente para aca, ya no cabemos
We no longer fitya no cabemos
Back in his town he lived like a bossalla en su pueblo vivia como jefe
Survived easilysobrevivia con facilidad
Here in Mexico City he works like a slaveaca en el d.f. trabaja como negro
And doesn't even have enough to eaty no le alcanza ni pa tragar
