These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
La calle es una selva de cemento
The street is a cement jungle
Y de fieras salvajes cómo no
And of wild beasts of course
Ya no hay quien salga loco de contento
There is no one who goes crazy happy anymore
Donde quiera te espera te espera lo peor
Wherever the worst awaits you, the worst awaits you
Donde te quiera tes espera lo peor
Wherever I want you, the worst awaits you
Juanito Alimaña con mucha maña
Juanito Alimaña with a lot of skill
Llega al mostrador
Reach the counter
Saca su cuchillo sin preocupación
He pulls out his knife without worry
Dice que le entreguen la registradora
He says that the register be handed over to him
Saca las billetes saca un pistolón, pum
Take out the money, pull out a gun, fart
Sale como el viento
It comes out like the wind
En su disparada
In his shot
Y aunque ya lo vieron
And even though they've already seen it
Nadie ha visto nada
No one has seen anything
Juanito Alimaña va'la fechoría
Juanito Alimaña goes the wrong way
Se toma su caña
He drinks his cane
Fabrica su orgía.
He manufactures his orgy.
La gente le teme
People fear him.
Por que es de cuidado
Why is it caring
Pa' meterle mano
To get your hands on it
Hay que ser un bravo
You have to be brave
Si lo meten preso
If they put him under arrest
Sale al otro día
It comes out the next day
Porque un primo suyo
Because a cousin of his
Está en la policía.
He's in the police.
Juanito Alimaña
Juanito Alimaña
Si tiene maña es malicia viva
If he has skill it's malice alive
Y siempre se alinea
And it always lines up
Con el que está arriba
With the one upstairs
Y aunque a medio mundo
And although halfway around the world
Le robó su plata
He stole his money.
Todos lo comentan
Everyone comments on it
Nadie lo delata
Nobody gives it away
Y aunque a medio mundo
And although halfway around the world
Le llevó la plata
He brought him the silver
Todos lo comentan
Everyone comments on it
Nadie lo delata
Nobody gives it away
A la la ley ley ley ley
To the law law law law
Mujeres, fumada, y cana
Women, smoking, and gray
Atracando vive Juanito Alimana
Atracando vive Juanito Alimana
Cuando el era muchachito
When he was a little boy
Las cositas te pedía
The little things I asked you
Y si tu no se la daba la mangaba
And if you didn't give it to her the manga
Como quiera la cogia
How do you want to take it
Mujeres, fumada, y cana
Women, smoking, and gray
Atracando vive juanito alimana
Atracando Vive Juanito Alimana
Ese, ese tumbao lo quiere
That one, that tumbao wants it
Si lo ve mal cuesto,
If you see it wrong at cost,
Anda cuida tu cartera,
Go take care of your wallet,
Ese si que sabe eso
That one does know that
Mujeres, fumada, y cana
Women, smoking, and gray
Atracando vive Juanito Alimana
Atracando vive Juanito Alimana
Si, el otro día le encontré
Yes, the other day I found him
Y Guillermo el me decía
And Guillermo was telling me
Tumba kilo que tu quieras
Tumba kilo whatever you want
Por mi primo es policía
Because of my cousin he's a cop
Oye, con que ya ve el diablo
Hey, so you can see the devil
Se tira su disparada
He throws his shot
Y aunque la gente lo vieron
And even though people saw it
No lo ratean porque nadie ha visto nada
They don't rate it because no one has seen anything
Mujeres, fumada, y cana
Women, smoking, and gray
Atracando vive Juanito Alimana
Atracando vive Juanito Alimana
El rey de la fechoría
The king of misdeeds
Ayer me dijo facundo
Yesterday Facundo told me
Todo el mundo lo conoce
Everyone knows him
Oye ven al bajo mundo
Hey, come to the underworld
Mujeres, fumada, y cana
Women, smoking, and gray
Atracando vive Juanito Alimana
Atracando vive Juanito Alimana
Mira mira le da mano
Mira Mira shakes hands
And ella no tiene un callito
And she doesn't have a callito
Ese nunca ha trabajado
That one has never worked
Y siempre anda bien bonito
And it's always very nice
Mujeres, fumada, y cana
Women, smoking, and gray
Atracando vive Juanito Alimana
Atracando vive Juanito Alimana
