El Barato

The Cheap One

El Barato

Last weekend I felt like dancingEl pasao' fin de semana tenía ganas de bailar
I went to a chirimía dance and they almost killed each otherMe fui a un baile'chirimia y casi iban a mata'
A rude man came to ask me for a danceUn hombre mal encara'o me vino a pedir barato
To give him my partner even if just for a whileQue le diera a mi pareja aunque fuera por un rato
I didn't want to lend her and I gave her to my friend ArturoNo se la quise presta' y se la dí a mi compa arturo
And I told him my partner doesn't dance against the wallY le dije mi pareja no me baila a contramuro

Chín chín chín chín chín chín chín chínChín chín chín chín chín chín chín chín

Machete was looking at my headMachete miraba a mi cabeza
Machete was brushing against my backMachete rozaba junto a mi espalda
Machete was rolling next to my legMachete rodaba junto a mi pierna
And machete was rolling next to my buttockY machete rodaba junto a mi nalga

Chín chín chín chín (chín chín chín chín)Chín chín chín chín (chín chín chín chín)

And I hid under the bedY yo me metía bajo'e la cama
And people ran to the windowY la gente corría pa la ventana
And I defended myself with a chairY me defendía con una silla
And machete brushed against my calfY machete rozaba en mi pantorrila

ChorusCoro

Machete on the napeMachete en la nuca
Machete on the backMachete en la espalda
Machete on the legMachete en la pierna
And machete on the buttockY machete en la nalga

After so many machete blows they almost killed meDe tanto darme machete casi me iban a mata'
But I started to pray and prayed more and morePero yo empecé a rezar y rezaba más y más
Because I have my secret prayers to fightPorque tengo mi secreto de oraciones pa pelear

I know the one of Justo Hueso and I took the machetes awayMe sé de la de justo hueso y los machetes les quité
I prayed the one of Samson and they asked for forgivenessLe recé la de sansón y me pedían perdón
The elegy of crimentud and the powerful handLa elegía de crimentud y la mano poderosa
I invoked the trinity and knew other mysteriesInvoqué a la trinidad y otros misterios sabía
I prayed the one of the black dog and the machetes brokeRecé la del perro negro y los machetes se partían
I prayed the one of the black dog and even the bastard ran awayRecé la del perro negro y hasta el putas me corría

Dance with mine no furtherBailá con la mia no más allá
I dance with yours hereQue yo bailo con la tuya acá
Saw mine no furtherCerruchá la mía no más allá
I saw yours hereQue yo cerrucho la tuya acá
Saw it well, tighten it upCerruchala bien, apretala no ma'
Man, saw it, tighten it upHombe cerruchala, apretala no ma'
I lift yours hereQue yo levanto la tuya acá
I warm yours hereQue yo caliento la tuya acá

When being cheap won't make me get killedCuando con ser un barato no me voy a hacer mata'

Dance with mine and I with yoursBailá con la mía y yo con la tuya
It's the law of the cheap one, it's the law of the festivityEs la ley del barato, es la ley de la berbena
It's the law in my land, it's the law in my neighborhoodEs la ley que hay en mi tierra, es la ley que hay en mi barrio

Dance with mine and I with yoursBailá con la mía y yo con la tuya
Whoever doesn't respect it leaves from hereEl que no la respete se vá de aquí
Leaves from my neighborhood, leaves from hereSe vá de mi barrio, se vá de aquí
Whoever comes to mess around leaves from hereEl que venga a joder se va de aqui
Leaves from my neighborhood, leaves from hereSe va de mi barrio, se va de aquí
