El Coco
Sacó una bolsa de nylon bien repleta de perico
Y puso sobre la mesa varias líneas de polvito
Y los que andaban con él como le sorbían bonito.
A mi me llaman El Coco que nombre tan apropiado
Desde que yo era un escuincle de polvo me han tarrajado
me perdonan mi franqueza así es como yo me he criado.
Porqué se asustan mirones, el miedo no es para tanto
Parece que ven al diablo cuando ven el polvo blanco
Y eso que no han visto nada si no se mueren de espanto.
La gente que anda conmigo es pura gente exclusiva
Son cocodrilos graduados con diploma de suicidas
Antes que ser prisioneros prefieren perder la vida.
Yo no se hacer otra cosa jamás me entraron las letras
Pues yo me crié entre la hierba, pistolas y metralletas
Por eso es que más les vale que conmigo no se metan.
Algunos en el gobierno me miran con malos modos
para otros soy la gallina que pone los huevos de oro
el que me falla lo pierdo o se le acaba el tesoro.
El Coco ya se despide, se va feliz de la vida
si a alguno le caigo gordo nomás que se abra y que diga
porque el que torea la fiera es pa' aguantarle las mordidas.
The Coconut
He took out a nylon bag full of coke
And placed several lines of powder on the table
And those who were with him how they snorted it nicely.
They call me The Coconut, such an appropriate name
Since I was a kid, they've been calling me dust
Excuse my frankness, that's how I was raised.
Why are you scared, onlookers, fear is not that big
It seems like they see the devil when they see the white powder
And they haven't seen anything yet, or they'd die of fright.
The people with me are all exclusive people
They are graduated crocodiles with a suicide diploma
They'd rather lose their lives than be prisoners.
I don't know how to do anything else, I never got into reading
I grew up among grass, guns, and machine guns
So it's better for them not to mess with me.
Some in the government look at me with bad manners
To others, I'm the hen that lays golden eggs
Whoever fails me loses or runs out of treasure.
The Coconut says goodbye, leaves happily
If anyone doesn't like me, just speak up
Because the one who bullfights the beast is there to endure the bites.
