Chito Lyrics in English Calibre 50
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Chito by Calibre 50 from Spanish to English.
A nadie negó un favor
He never denied a favor to anyone
Le sobró valor pa' quitarse la vida
He had enough courage to take his own life
De nadie se despidió
He didn't say goodbye to anyone
No sé la razón ni el por qué lo haría
I don't know the reason or why he would do it
Y es que era cabrón el viejo
And that's because the old man was a badass
Como aquel corrido que tanto pedía
Like that corrido he always requested
Hombre de una sola pieza
A man of integrity
Chito es de la gente que nunca se olvida
Chito is one of those people who are never forgotten
Vivo la vida a mi modo
I live life my way
Ya probé de todo pa que no me cuenten
I've tried everything so they can't tell me about it
Las cosas buenas se ganan
Good things are earned
Trabajando duro y no chingando gente
By working hard and not screwing people over
Dicen de mí muchas cosas
They say many things about me
Ni diablo ni santo pa serles sincero
Neither devil nor saint to be honest
El billete es pa gastarse
Money is for spending
Que pa donde vamos ya pa qué lo quiero
Where we're going, what do I need it for anymore?
Amante de las parrandas
A lover of parties
Corridos, las bandas
Corridos, bands
Y la vida alegre
And the joyful life
Si le alcanzaba
If she had enough
Compraba los pleitos
She bought fights
Y entonces tronaba la .9
And then the .9mm would fire
'Hombre que no tiene plata
"A man who has no money
Ni verbo jamás, goza mujer hermosa'
Or words, ever enjoys a beautiful woman"
Eran palabras de Chito
Those were Chito's words
De pila José Ángel Muñoz Raigoza
His full name was José Ángel Muñoz Raigoza
Y puro Calibre 50, mi viejo
And pure Calibre 50, my old man
El güerito colorado
The red-haired blondie
Fui amigo, fui hermano, maestro y alumno
I was a friend, I was a brother, a teacher And student
Esa colonia Esperanza
That Esperanza neighborhood
En aquellos tiempos fuiste fiel testigo
In those times you were a faithful witness
El viejo nos daba un peso
The old man gave us a peso
Por tiro derecho y nunca perdimos
For every shot, and we never lost
Y es que los hombres no se hacen
Because men aren't made
Con eso se nace y con eso nacimos
You're born with it, and that's what we were born with
Adiós mujeres bonitas
Goodbye, pretty women
Se les murió Chito y se acabó el dinero
Chito died, and the money ran out
Y aquellos tantos amigos
And all those friends
Que tuve, ninguno se paró en mi entierro
That I had, not one of them came to my funeral
Adiós doña María Elena
Goodbye, Doña María Elena
Por fin se acabó su dolor de cabeza
Finally, your headache is over
No sé si fue buena o mala
I don't know if she was good or bad
Mas la despedida deveras me pesa
But the farewell truly weighs on me
Amante de las parrandas
A lover of parties
Corridos, las bandas
Corridos, bands
Y la vida alegre
And the joyful life
Si le alcanzaba
If she had enough
Compraba los pleitos
She bought fights
Y entonces tronaba la .9
And then the .9mm would fire
'Hombre que no tiene plata
"A man who has no money
Ni verbo jamás, goza mujer hermosa'
Or words, ever enjoys a beautiful woman"
Eran palabras de Chito
Those were Chito's words
De pila José Ángel Muñoz Raigoza
