Parece que el pueblo es badillo
Looks like the town's a bad guy
Se ha puesto de malas
It's gotten bad
De malas por que su reliquia la quieren cambiar
Bad because her relic wants to change her
Primero fue un san antonio, lo hizo enrique maya
First he was a san antonio, he made him enriched Maya
Pero lo de ahora es distinto les voy a explicar
But now it's different I'm going to explain
En la casa de gregorio muy segura estaba
In the house of very safe gregory was
Una reliquia de pueblo tipo colonial
A relic of colonial-style people
Era una custodia linda muy grande y pesada
It was a very large and heavy pretty custody
Y ahora por una liviana la quieren cambiar
And now for a light one they want to change it
Se la llevaron, se la llevaron
They took her away, took her away
Se la llevaron, ya se perdió
They took her away, she's already lost
Lo que pasa es que la tiene un ratero honrado
The thing is, she's got an honest crook
Lo que ocurre es que un honrado se la robó
The thing is, an honest man stole it
Aunque digan que es calumnia del pueblo e'badillo
Even if they say it's the slander of the e'badillo people
Ellos con mucha razón presentaron sus pruebas
They quite rightly presented their evidence
No tiene el mismo tamaño, ni pesa lo mismo
It's not the same size, nor does it weigh the same
No tienen el mismo color, entonces no es ella
They don't have the same color, so it's not her
Parece que el inspector como que tuvo miedo
Looks like the inspector like he was afraid
Mucho miedo en este caso para proceder
A lot of fear in this case to proceed
Porque todavía no han dicho quien es el ratero
Because they haven't said who the crook is yet
Aunque todo mundo sabe quienes pueden ser
Although everyone knows who they can be
Seguramente que no fuí yo
I probably wasn't me
Ni alfonso lópez, ni pedro castro
Neither alfonso lopez, nor pedro castro
Ahora no fue enrique maya quien se la robó
Now it wasn't enriching Maya who stole it
Y ahora no podran decir que fue un vallenato
And now they can't say it was a vallenato
Al pobre de enrique maya lo metieron preso
Poor Mayan henry was imprisoned
Solo porque al san antonio, lo tomó prestao
Just because to St. Anthony, he borrowed it
Y al que se ha robado el caliz, nadita le han hecho
And to the one who has stolen the caliz, nadita have been made
Este robo de locura se quedó enterrao
This madness robbery was buried
Ahora si estoy convencido que esto de la fama
Now if I'm convinced that this fame thing
No deja de ser un problema, para quien la tiene
It's still a problem, for those who have it
Quiso caer el cielo encima cuando enrique maya
He wanted to fall the sky on when enriched Maya
Pero lo de ahora más grave ninguno lo mueve
But the more serious thing now none of them move it
Se la llevaron, se la llevaron
They took her away, took her away
Se la llevaron, ya se perdió
They took her away, she's already lost
Lo que pasa es que la tiene un ratero honrado
The thing is, she's got an honest crook
Lo que ocurre es que un honrado se la robó
The thing is, an honest man stole it
Ay! compadre cola jerre, cuando tengas fiesta
alas! compadre cola jerre, when you have a party
Hombe que abra bien los ojos para vigilar
Hombe to open his eyes wide to keep an eye on
Con una 45 en la puerta es la iglesia
With a 45 at the door is the church
Todo al que tenga sotana no lo deje entrar
Anyone with a cassock won't let him in
Y al terminar la misa que se pongan
And at the end of the mass they put
Del cura pa'abajo a requisar
From priest to requisition
