These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
A mi me apodan el sapo por feo prieto y matón 99 cabezas
They nickname me the toad because I am ugly and bully, 99 heads
Les e mandado al panteón
I have sent them to the pantheon
Y conmigo se hace el ciento resignado estoy señor
And with me it becomes a hundred resigned, I am, sir
Aquí en las islas marias todo el mundo me respeta
Here in the Maria Islands everyone respects me
Puede que sea por horror que les causa mi careta
Maybe it's because of the horror that my mask causes them
Aquel que pelea conmigo siempre la vida le cuesta
He who fights with me always finds his life difficult
El sacerdote de aquí se hizo mi mas fiel amigo
The priest here became my most faithful friend
Me dijo sapo andas mal ya salte de este camino
Toad told me, you're wrong, get out of this way
Que dios siempre nos perdona cuando nos arrepentimos
That God always forgives us when we repent
Me hizo jurar ante cristo jamas volver a matar
He made me swear before Christ to never kill again
Y no pienso defraudarlo al crimen no volveré aquel
And I don't plan to disappoint him to crime, I won't return to that
Machete manchado ya fui al mar y lo tire
Stained machete I already went to the sea and threw it away
Aquella alegre mañana el sapo venia contento
That happy morning the toad came happy
Le brincan 2 criminales de aquel monte tan espeso
2 criminals jump from that thick mountain
Con sus machetes filosos le volaron el pescuezo
With their sharp machetes they blew off his neck
Lo velaron en la iglesia el cura empezó a estar malo
They watched him in the church, the priest began to feel sick
Otro día por la mañana también lo estaban velando
Another day in the morning they were also watching over him
Antes de morir les dijo que me entierren con el sapo
Before dying he told them to bury me with the toad
Se encuentran 2 tumbas juntas la del cura
2 tombs are found together, the one of the priest
Y la del sapo se fue a llevarselo a dios
And the one with the toad went to take him to God
Como cualquier abogado por un lado de su cliente
Like any lawyer on one side of his client
Cuando están en el juzgado
When they are in court
