Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Hoy by La Vela Puerca from Spanish to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Me da pena ese botija
I feel sorry for that booty
Que anda juntando pa' la sortija
What is gathering for the ring
Por mas que cueste no es para tanto
As much as it costs, it's not that bad
Ganar el 5 pa' ir llevando
Win the 5 to go carrying
Me niego a morir en la vía
I refuse to die on the road
Ni trabajar pa' la policía
Nor work for the police
Ni andar de cuento ni andar de tranza
Neither walk a story nor walk a trick
Para poder llenarme la panza
So I can fill my belly
No te enojes si llueve
Don't be mad if it rains
Que las gotas no duelen
that the drops do not hurt
Solo tengo una meta
I only have one goal
Conseguir la trompeta!
Get the trumpet!
Che bo no te haga el enfermo
Che bo don't play sick
Suenan las lonjas halla en Palermo
The markets sound in Palermo
Por mas que quiera yo voy a ir
As much as I want, I'm going to go
Lo necesito para vivir
I need it to live
Que bien baila esa morena
That brunette dances so well
Que bien la mueve, que bien la lleva
How well she moves, how well she wears it
Se que la yuta me anda apuntando
I know that the yuta is pointing at me
Si Dios los cría se van juntando
If God creates them, they get together
Camarón de San Telmo
San Telmo Shrimp
Camarón de Paris
paris shrimp
Camarón de Palermo
Palermo Shrimp
O de algún otro país
Or from some other country
