Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Dante by Gabito Ballesteros from Spanish to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Dante anda entre los veintes
Dante is in his twenties
Anda en busca de billetes
Go looking for tickets
Pues quiso cambiar su suerte
Well he wanted to change his luck
Chorus 1
R's y no nos gustó la escuela
R's and we didn't like school
Ni tampoco la pobreza
Nor poverty
Por eso porto pechera
That's why I wear a bib
Y si nos toca mañana, la vida entregarla
And if it's our turn tomorrow, life will give it up
Me truenan las armas
weapons thunder at me
Un beso pa' mi madre, que mi dios la guarde
A kiss for my mother, may my God keep her
Y la 5-7 nunca ha de faltarme
And the 5-7 should never be missing
Y es que es bonito el dinero
And money is nice
Ganarlo y gastarlo, mirando hacia el cielo
Earn it and spend it, looking up to the sky
El humo tirando, voy reflexionando
The smoke pulling, I reflect
Cuando estaba en ceros y hoy los veo de lejos
When I was at zero and today I see them from afar
Y esto es puro CT, viejones
And this is pure CT, old guys
Y qué bonito es el dinero, compa Gabito
And how nice the money is, compa Gabito
Arriba la mafia de la calle, viejón
Up with the street mafia, old man
Bridge
Baila los diamantes en mi escuadra
Dance the diamonds in my squad
Y también de la cubana
And also from the Cuban
Placosa se ve la raya
Placosa you can see the line
Chorus 2
R's y no nos gustó la escuela
R's and we didn't like school
Ni tampoco la pobreza
Nor poverty
Por eso porto pechera
That's why I wear a bib
Y si nos toca mañana, la vida entregarla
And if it's our turn tomorrow, life will give it up
Me truenan las armas
weapons thunder at me
Un beso pa' mi madre, que mi dios la guarde
A kiss for my mother, may my God keep her
Y la 5-7 nunca ha de faltarme
And the 5-7 should never be missing
Y es que es bonito el dinero
And money is nice
Ganarlo y gastarlo, mirando hacia el cielo
Earn it and spend it, looking up to the sky
El humo tirando, voy reflexionando
The smoke pulling, I reflect
Cuando estaba en ceros y hoy me ven volando
When I was at zero and today they see me flying
