Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Diez Mandamientos by Grupo Los de la O from Spanish to English.
Diez mandamientos como lo dice la biblia
Ten commandments as the Bible says
Diez mandamientos si quieres cuidar tu vida
Ten commandments if you want to take care of your life
Aquí en las calles quitar vidas es muy vara
Here in the streets taking lives is very tough
Y si la cagas es mejor que te despidas
And if you f*ck up, it's better for you to say goodbye
Un mandamiento que tú debes recordarte
A commandment that you must remember
No andes mordiendo la mano que ha de ayudarte
Don't bite the hand that will help you
Antes sé leal y siempre firme para la empresa
First be loyal and always firm for the company
El plomo llueve hasta en su mismito chante
Bullets rain even in their own place
El segundero ten palabra seas cobarde
The second one, have word, don't be a coward
¿Qué no dijiste que tú venías de las calles?
Didn't you say you come from the streets?
No critiqueis que para nosotros es envidia
Don't criticize, for us it's envy
Y cinco letras representan la H grande
And five letters represent the big H
El tercer mando, no seas mal agradecido
The third command, don't be ungrateful
No sean pendejos que a muchos ya los he visto
Don't be idiots, I've seen many
Les dan la escuela para que empiezen a rifarle
They give them school to start making it
Y se traicionan por ganar billete grande
And they betray each other for big money
El cuarto grande, no se toca a la familia
The fourth big one, don't mess with family
Cuando haya guerra los terceros ni se arriman
When there's war, the thirds don't even get close
Para ser grande, se empieza de mero abajo
To be big, you start from the very bottom
No se crean gángsters si no pueden controlarlo
Don't act like gangsters if you can't control it
Balas lloverán
Bullets will rain
Si tú vas a andar de pinche sapo
If you're gonna act like a f*cking snitch
Esto es muy real
This is very real
Se mata hasta por un mugre gramo
They kill even for a dirty gram
Y por la ciudad
And around the city
Surtiendo las tiendas del mercado
Supplying the market stores
Y somos real
And we're real
No hay razón para andarle jugando
There's no reason to play around
Y esto va para ustedes que se olvidan del significado de la lealtad
And this goes for those who forget the meaning of loyalty
Aquí seguimos firmes con la manzana viejo
Here we stay firm with the old apple
Mantente humilde aunque ya no tengas más hambre
Stay humble even if you're not hungry anymore
Y no confundan la humildad con los modales
And don't confuse humility with manners
La humildad es cuando quieres no apantallar
Humility is when you don't want to show off
Si te cambia el dinero, no vas a ser nadie
If money changes you, you won't be anyone
No presumas de tus logros con esta gente
Don't boast about your achievements with these people
El que es callado, claro comerá dos veces
The quiet one will eat twice
No te quedes pobre por invitarle al rico
Don't end up poor by inviting the rich
Sé inteligente, piénsale pero macizo
Be smart, think it through thoroughly
No juegues con el dinero de las personas
Don't play with people's money
El tiempo vale al igual que muchas cosas
Time is valuable as well as many things
Te dan confianza para que puedas demostrarles
They trust you so you can show them
Que tú eres otro, no un corriente de las calles
That you're different, not just another street guy
El último que para mí es muy importante
The last one, which is very important to me
Si traes principios serás grande entre los grandes
If you have principles, you'll be great among the great
No pises piel ni brinques a tu fiel clikona
Don't step on skin or betray your loyal clique
El karma es grande y te va a quitar mucha sangre
Karma is big and will take a lot of blood from you
Balas lloverán
Bullets will rain
Si tú vas a andar de pinche sapo
If you're gonna act like a f*cking snitch
Esto es muy real
This is very real
Te matan por un mugroso gramo
They kill you for a filthy gram
Y tengo un carnal
And I have a buddy
Es el justiciero del comando
He's the avenger of the command
Y somos real
And we're real
No hay razón para andarle jugando
There's no reason to mess around
Si para todo alcanzamos
If we can handle everything
