Chorizo Hampon

His name is Antonio, they call him TonySe llama Antonio, le dicen Tony
And at night he kills and steals without remorseY por las noches mata y roba sin reproches
Sometimes he runs, and I'm not lyingA veces corre, y no te miento
So fast that sometimes he almost touches the windTan rápido que a veces casi toca el viento
He's trying to repentEstá tratando de arrepentirse
But it's easier for a rich man to reach heavenPero es más fácil que un rico llegue al cielo
I don't wait for you anymore, he says, I don't love you anymoreYa no te espero, dice, ya no te quiero
Maybe tomorrow you'll look for me and find me deadQuizás mañana busques y me encuentres muerto

He only asked me to pleaseSolo me pidió que por favor
Bring this letter hereTrajera esta carta hasta aquí
To read it to you with loveQue te la leyera con amor
And that's what he wroteY algo así fue lo que te escribió

He told youLe dijo
Stand firm, be a womanPonte firme, sé mujer
Don't wait for me, dawn is comingNo me esperes ya va a amanecer
The deal we had is overEl trato que teníamos los dos
Politically speakingPolíticamente se acabó

It was late, at nightEra tarde, por la noche
I told him let's goYo le dije vamo' andando
He replied I'll stay just a little longerMe responde yo me quedo solo un rato más
I was warned he was singing, as they took him prisonerMe avisaron que cantaba, mientras preso lo llevaban
Humming, Manuel Alfaro's songTarareando, de Manuel Alfaro, una canción

His name is Antonio, they call him TonySe llama Antonio, le dicen Tony
And at night he kills and steals without remorseY por las noches mata y roba sin reproches
Sometimes he runs, and I'm not lyingA veces corre, y no te miento
So fast that sometimes he almost touches the windTan rápido que a veces casi toca el viento
He's trying to repentEstá tratando de arrepentirse
But it's easier for a rich man to reach heavenPero es más fácil que un rico llegue al cielo
I don't wait for you anymore, he says, I don't love you anymoreYa no te espero, dice, ya no te quiero

The tradition was not lostLa tradición no se perdió
My short knife is my companionMi corta pluma es mi compañera
If they mess with me, I'll put it on anyoneSi me huevean se la pongo a cualquiera
I walk calmly, I have my weaponAndo tranquilo, tengo mi arma
If you don't mess with me, there's no dramaSi no te metes conmigo no hay drama

In my territory, I'm the demonEn mi territorio soy el demonio
Blood, knife, I kill and mournSangre, cuchillo, te mato y velorio
Boom, bam, well, what's up?Pum, wam, weno ¿y qué pa'?
You had to just pass byTeniai que puro pasar la weá
I didn't want it, Mr. Usía, but the police arrived just in timeYo no quería Sr. Usía, pero justo llega la policía
There were four of them and only one of meEllos eran cuatro y yo solo uno
I'm alive and they're noneYo toy vivito y ellos ninguno

Enough! Why are you hitting me?¡Ya! Bueno y ¿Pa' que me pegai?
Don't go crazyNo te vai en la volá'
I haven't done anything to youSi yo no te he hecho na'
I pull out the triggerSaco la chaveta
Cuts come, cuts goTajos vienen, tajos van
Boom!¡Bum!
And there the mess was leftY ahí que'ó la cagá'

That by reading this letter, it's the pure truthQue al leer esta carta, es la pura verdad
I'm a prisoner, I'm behind barsEstoy prisionero, me encuentro entre las rejas
I don't know when I'll be freeNo se para cuando saldré en libertad
