El Catrín Lyrics in English Gera MX , Santa Fe Klan
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song El Catrín by Gera MX from Spanish to English.
La gente como nosotros solo tenía dos opciones para salir del vecindario
People like us only had two options to get out of the neighborhood
Ser delincuentes o hacernos famosos
To be criminals or to become famous
Y ya éramos la primera
And we were already the first one
Le gusta la noche el dinero y las mujeres
He likes the night, the money, and the women
Le dicen Catrín pero cumple sus deberes
They call him Catrín but he handles his business
Nada le hace falta él tiene todo lo que quiere
He's missing nothing, he has everything he wants
Le sobra el estilo anda con todos los poderes
He's got style to spare, he rolls with all the power
De noche por el boulevard anda vaciando su cartera
At night on the boulevard, he's emptying his wallet
No le preocupa nada tiene el respeto allá afuera
He's not worried 'bout a thing, he has respect out there
Tiene pocos amigos y una historia verdadera
He has few friends and a true story
Unos lo hicieron menos pero nunca fue cualquiera
Some looked down on him but he was never just anybody
Noche por el boulevard anda vaciando su cartera
Night on the boulevard, he's emptying his wallet
No le preocupa nada tiene el respeto allá afuera
He's not worried 'bout a thing, he has respect out there
Tiene pocos amigos y una historia verdadera
He has few friends and a true story
Unos lo hicieron menos pero nunca fue cualquiera
Some looked down on him but he was never just anybody
Unos le llaman Catrín otros lo nombran rapero
Some call him Catrín, others call him a rapper
El dinero es lo primero desde diciembre a enero
Money comes first from December to January
El dueño del negocio que empezó de mandadero
The owner of the business who started as an errand boy
Ahora sí es el mero mero con puro culo extranjero
Now he's the big boss with nothing but foreign *ss
Te juro que el mensajero todo el mapa lo conoce
I swear to you, the messenger knows the whole map
Sale perfumado tiene concierto a las 12
He leaves perfumed, has a show at 12
Tose y tose mi niño evita el roce
Coughing and coughing my boy, avoid the beef
Y la cuadra del Catrín por la noche te desconoce
And at night, Catrín's block doesn't know you
Camisa de tirantes una medusa en el cinto
A tank top, a Medusa on the belt
Zapato bien boleado una copa de vino tinto
Well-shined shoes, a glass of red wine
Distinto se nota la llegada en algún bar
His arrival at any bar is clearly different
Anda con el cora roto de rol por el boulevard
Cruising the boulevard with a broken heart
Tira feria a lo cabrón pues no encuentra la manera
He throws cash like a f*cker 'cause he can't find a way
De pagar el precio de una historia verdadera
To pay the price of a true story
Gracias al destino que me dió raza sincera
Thanks to destiny that gave me real people
Ya saben en la calle quién es el que más, muera
They already know on the street who's on top, f*ck the rest
De noche por el boulevard anda vaciando su cartera
At night on the boulevard, he's emptying his wallet
No le preocupa nada tiene el respeto allá afuera
He's not worried 'bout a thing, he has respect out there
Tiene pocos amigos y una historia verdadera
He has few friends and a true story
Unos lo hicieron menos pero nunca fue cualquiera
Some looked down on him but he was never just anybody
Noche por el boulevard anda vaciando su cartera
Night on the boulevard, he's emptying his wallet
No le preocupa nada tiene el respeto allá afuera
He's not worried 'bout a thing, he has respect out there
Tiene pocos amigos y una historia verdadera
He has few friends and a true story
Unos lo hicieron menos pero nunca fue cualquiera
Some looked down on him but he was never just anybody
El desaparecido, le dicen por el barrio
The missing one, they call him in the hood
De dónde saca feria que parece mercenario
Where he gets cash from, looking like a mercenary
La calle lo conoce, controla todo el bando
The street knows him, he controls the whole crew
Unos dicen que es bueno, otros dicen que es malo
Some say he's good, others say he's bad
Se la vive trabajando, billetes generando
He spends his life working, generating bills
Loco de vez en cuando, por México paseando
Crazy now and then, strolling through Mexico
El respeto es lo primero y que la vida cuesta caro
Respect comes first and life is expensive
Por eso quiere dinero siempre anda en busca del varo
That's why he wants money, always looking for the dough
Camisa planchada, su cadena dorada
Ironed shirt, his golden chain
Le gusta la droga el alcohol y la madrugada
He likes drugs, alcohol, and the early morning
Una amistad no la cambia por una falda
He won't trade a friendship for a skirt
De los traicioneros va cuidándose la espalda
From the traitors, he's watching his back
Es el Catrín pandillero y que es un vago
He's the gangster Catrín and he's a drifter
Siempre lo miran que va prendiendo otro gallo
They always see him lighting up another joint
El más señalado, el más marihuano
The most pointed at, the biggest stoner
El más buscadó y cien por ciento mexicano
The most wanted and one hundred percent Mexican
De noche por el boulevard anda vaciando su cartera
At night on the boulevard, he's emptying his wallet
No le preocupa nada tiene el respeto allá afuera
He's not worried 'bout a thing, he has respect out there
Tiene pocos amigos y una historia verdadera

He's not worried 'bout a thing, he has respect out there
Tiene pocos amigos y una historia verdadera

Unos lo hicieron menos pero nunca fue cualquiera
