Below, I translated the lyrics of the song El Bandido Salto De Mata by La Vela Puerca from Spanish to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Tiene cuidado porque te mata
be careful because it kills you
Ese bandido salto de mata
that bandit jump kill
Si me lo encuentro yo en esta esquina
If I find him in this corner
Salgo corriendo por la avenida
I run down the avenue
Y si te pesca dándole cuerda
And if he catches you winding up
O ayudando a la gente enferma
Or helping sick people
Te va a dar palo hasta que se borre
It will give you a stick until it is erased
Todo ese rollo sobre los pobres
All that stuff about the poor
Llegó del norte dándole lata
He came from the north pestering him
Ese bandido salto de mata
that bandit jump kill
Toda la gente tiembla de miedo
All the people tremble with fear
Cuando aparece con su sombrero
When she appears with her hat
Latinoamérica de colores
colored latin america
Yo mas me acerco mas huelo olores
The closer I get, the more I smell odors
Latinoamérica confundida
Latin America confused
Por los caminos llenos de vida
along the roads full of life
Si un latino se esconde
If a Latino hides
Me dicen a donde
tell me where
Para que lo pueda traer
So that he can bring it
Si el latino aparece la gente enloquece
If the Latino appears, people go crazy
No seas el primero en caer
Don't be the first to fall
Gente bien gente humilde cansada de palo
Good people humble people tired of stick
No vamo' a dejarno' arrastrar
We are not going to let ourselves be dragged
No te asustes mujer no te ponga a correr
Don't be scared woman don't make you run
Vida mía esto va a terminar
my life this is going to end
