Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Whisky En Uruguay by El Cuarteto de Nos from Spanish to English.
Yo andaba por la vuelta de la boca de la cuadra
I was walking around the corner of the block
Cuando vi a un milico narco que contaba mucha plata
When I saw a drug trafficker who had a lot of money
Y ahí saqué la pistola y ahí mismo le explicaba
And there I took out the gun and right there I explained
Poniendo estaba la gansa o como un colador quedaba
Putting it was the goose or like a sieve it was
Belinún, belinún, belinún
Belinún, belinún, belinún
A mi que más me da
What gives me the most
A mi que más me da
What gives me the most
Si hay whisky en Uruguay
If there is whiskey in Uruguay
Me llevé toda la guita, era una buena tarasca
I took all the money, it was a good piece of shit
Me llevé toda la guita y se la di a la Flora
I took all the money and gave it to Flora
Me dijo que me amaba, que no me dejaría
She told me that she loved me, that she wouldn't leave me
Pero gritaba y lloraba y me vendió a la milicada
But she screamed and cried and sold me to the military
Belinún, belinún, belinún
Belinún, belinún, belinún
A mi que más me da
What gives me the most
A mi que más me da
What gives me the most
Si hay whisky en Uruguay
If there is whiskey in Uruguay
Hay quien gusta de la pesca, hay quien gusta de la caza
There are those who like fishing, there are those who like hunting
Hay quien gusta del asado, y hay quien gusta de la pasta
There are those who like roast, and there are those who like pasta
A mi me gusta dormir con la Flora en la cama
I like to sleep with Flora in bed
Pero ahora estoy en cana con grillete y traje a rayas
But now I'm in gray with shackles and a striped suit
Belinún, belinún, belinún
Belinún, belinún, belinún
A mi que más me da
What gives me the most
A mi que más me da
What gives me the most
Si hay whisky en Uruguay
If there is whiskey in Uruguay
