Juanito Alimaña

Hmm, I'm not even going to look that wayJum, ni pa' allá voy a mirar

The street is a concrete jungleLa calle es una selva de cemento
And of wild beasts, of courseY de fieras salvajes como no
No one leaves feeling overjoyed anymoreYa no hay quien salga loco de contento
The worst awaits you everywhere you goDonde quiera te espera lo peor
The worst awaits you everywhere you goDonde quiera te espera lo peor

Juanito the vermin, with great cunning, reaches the counterJuanito alimaña, con mucha maña llega al mostrador
He pulls out his knife, without a careSaca su cuchillo, sin preocupación
He says to hand over the cash registerDice que le entreguen, la registradora
Take out the bills, take out a big gunSaca los billetes, saca un pistolón

It takes off like the wind, in its burst of speedSale como el viento, en su disparada
And even though they saw it, nobody saw anythingY aunque ya lo vieron, nadie ha visto nada
Juanito Alimaña, is going to commit mischiefJuanito Alimaña, va a la fechoría
He takes his drink, he creates his orgySe toma su caña, fabrica su orgía

People are afraid of him because he's dangerousLa gente le teme, porque es de cuidado
To tackle it, you have to be bravePa' meterle mano, hay que ser un bravo
If they put him in jail, he'll be out the next daySi lo meten preso, sale al otro día
Because one of his cousins is in the policePorque un primo suyo, 'ta en la policía

Juanito the vermin, if he has any cunning, he's pure maliceJuanito alimaña si tiene maña, es malicia viva
And it always aligns itself with the one aboveY siempre se alinea, con el que está arriba
And although he stole money from half the worldY aunque a medio mundo, le robó su plata
Everyone talks about it, but no one betrays himTodos lo comentan, nadie lo delata
And even though he stole money from everyoneY aunque a todo el mundo, le robó la plata
Everyone talks about it, but no one betrays himTodos lo comentan, nadie lo delata

When he was a little boy, the little things he asked forCuando él era muchachito, las cositas que pedía
