Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Pueblo Podrido by El Cuarteto de Nos from Spanish to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Yo vivo en un pueblo podrido
I live in a rotten town
En donde todo está podrido
where everything is rotten
Y voy de noche
and I go at night
Siempre a oscuras
always in the dark
Caminando entre la basura
walking through the garbage
Y no voy a llegar muy lejos
And I won't get very far
En un omnibus lleno de viejos
In a bus full of old people
Porque me asaltan con un caño
Because they assault me with a pipe
Delincuentes de 12 años
12 year old offenders
Asi quiero estar
I want to be like this
Asi quiero estar
I want to be like this
Asi quiero estar
I want to be like this
Los zapatos se me mojan
my shoes get wet
Pisando las baldozas flojas
Stepping on the loose tiles
Y la calle no me da tregua
And the street does not give me truce
Esquivando bosta de yegua
Dodging mare's dung
Y a los chorros tanto les da
And the squirts don't care
Si es facil comprar la autoridad
If it's easy to buy authority
Y cuando en casa busco abrigo
And when I look for shelter at home
Tengo que entrar pateando mendigos
I have to go in kicking beggars
Así quiero estar
I want to be like this
Asi quiero estar
I want to be like this
Asi quiero estar
I want to be like this
Aca ya no hay
there is no more
Nada que hacer
Nothing to do
El que se quedo es porque no se fue
The one who stayed is because he didn't leave
Y en la esquina
and in the corner
Hay feo olor
there is a bad smell
Si no hace frio, hace calor
If it's not cold, it's hot
Lunes de noche no hay donde ir
Monday night there's nowhere to go
Igual, mejor, para que salir
Same, better, why go out
Si me pegan los vecinos
If the neighbors hit me
Si no les doy plata para el vino
If I don't give them money for wine
Y si me pregunta algun podrido
And if someone rotten asks me
Por que no te vas de tu pueblo podrido
Why don't you leave your rotten town
Le digo no me hagas poner violento
I tell him don't make me violent
Y escucha lo que estoy diciendo
And listen to what I'm saying
Asi quiero estar
I want to be like this
Asi quiero estar
I want to be like this
Asi quiero estar
I want to be like this
Asi quiero estar
I want to be like this
Asi quiero estar
I want to be like this
Asi quiero estar
I want to be like this
Asi quiero estar
I want to be like this
