Alto Y Piel Morena Lyrics in English Edgardo Nunez
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Alto Y Piel Morena by Edgardo Nunez from Spanish to English.
Alto y Piel Morena
Tall and brown-skinned
Por ahí de los corridones
From those heavy corridos
Vamos a enviarlo
Let's send it
Saludos pa toda la gente del Southside
Shout-out to everybody on the Southside
Fierro, dice compa Pablo
“Fierro,” says my bro Pablo
Yo nací allá en la pobreza
I was born back in poverty
Y esa me fue acompañando
and it stuck to me
De las 12 hasta las 6
From twelve till six
Cuándo yo vivía en él barrió
back when I lived in the hood
Me enredé en la delincuencia
I got caught up in crime
Y vieran cómo me a gustado ese trabajo
and man, I ended up loving that work
Por el Southside finikera
Over on Southside Finikera
Me miraban ruleteando
they’d spot me rolling
De dickies y tenis nike
wearing Dickies and Nike kicks
Cuando no tenia un centavo
when I didn’t have a dime
Y buscándole a la papa
out hustling for bread
Conocí a alguien y me puse hacer mandados
I met someone and started running jobs
Armas con madera fina
Guns with fine wood grips
Y unos cuetes color negro
and some blacked-out pistols
Que el miedo lo traigo a un lado
I keep fear right beside me
Por debajo del asiento
stashed under the seat
Y un chavo de pura oreja
and a youngster all ears
Segurito fue pa espantarnos el sueño
sure thing it kept us wide awake
Unas cuantas veladoras
a few candles
Casas repletas de hierba
houses packed with weed
Por allá en terrenos indios
over there on Indian land
Todo el tiempo la vi cerca
I always saw it close
Me correteaba la migra
La Migra chased me
Y yo adelante nunca quise dar reversa
and I kept moving forward, never hit reverse
Ea, mi compa Richie
Hey, my bro Richie
Me empezó a cambiar la suerte
started flipping my luck
De la noche a la mañana
overnight
Y atrás quedaron las brechas
and the rough trails were left behind
Y esas trocas bien cargadas
and those trucks loaded heavy
Tres teléfonos sonaban en caliente
three phones were buzzing nonstop
Y en caliente arremangaba
and I’d jump on it right away
Mi nombre queda olvidado
My real name stays forgotten
Solamente está mi apodo
only my nickname remains
Y eso de tarea les dejo
I’ll let you figure that out
Lo traigo en mi 38
it’s etched on my .38
Soy alto de piel morena
I’m tall, brown-skinned
Tatuado y con toda la finta de cholo
tattooed and rocking the full cholo look
Un bluntsito pa'l estrés
a little blunt for the stress
Con waxito y O.G master
with some wax and O.G Master
No es que quiera presumir
not that I wanna brag
Pero me gusta enfiestarme
but I love to party
Y que toque mi compa Martin Patrón
and let my bro Martin Patrón play
Que ahora quiero emborracharme
’cause right now I wanna get wasted
Alto y Piel Morena
Tall and brown-skinned
Por ahí saludazos
Big shout-outs
Pa toda la plebada del Southside
to all the crew on the Southside
Comoa Bozo
Bro Bozo
Compa Molote
Bro Molote
Puro Imperio, viejo
Straight Imperio, man
Saludazos
Much love
