Juanito Alimaña Lyrics in English Héctor Lavoe , Willie Colón
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Juanito Alimaña by Héctor Lavoe from Spanish to English.
La calle es una selva de cemento
The street is a jungle of cement
Y de fieras salvajes cómo no
And of wild beasts of course
Ya no hay quien salga loco de contento
There is no longer anyone who goes crazy with happiness
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 love you, the worst awaits you
Juanito Alimaña con mucha maña llega al mostrador
Juanito Alimaña with great skill arrives at the counter
Saca su cuchillo sin preocupación
Take out your knife without worry
Dice que le entreguen la registradora
He says to give him the register
Saca las billetes saca un pistolón, pum
Take out the bills, take out a gun, boom
Sale como el viento
comes out like the wind
En su disparada
In his shot
Y aunque ya lo vieron
And although they already saw it
Nadie ha visto nada
Nobody has seen anything
Juanito Alimaña va'la fechoría
Juanito Alimaña goes the misdeed
Se toma su caña

Fabrica su orgía

La gente le teme

Por que es de cuidado

Pa' meterle mano
To put your hand on it

Si lo meten preso

Sale al otro día

Si tiene maña es malicia viva
