No se porque alguna gente

Others don't stand in line
Why hay quien a veces le falta

El respeto a una señora

A fijarse que la guagua
To notice that the bus
Ya viene por la rotonda
It's coming through the roundabout
Sale arrollando la gente
People come out running over
Como si fuera en la conga
As if it were in the conga
Para subir a la puerta
To go up to the door
Se empujan unos a otros
They push each other
Why a veces sufre la guagua

Why en la próxima parada
Why at the next stop
Nadie se quiere correr
