Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Los Chucos Suaves by Los Lobos from Spanish to English.
Carnal, póngase abusado
Brother, be smart
Ya los tiempos han cambiado
Times have changed
Usted está muy agüitado
You're feeling down
Y está buti atravesado
And you're all messed up
Antes usted bailaba swing
Before, you used to dance swing
Boogie-woogie, jitterbug
Boogie-woogie, jitterbug
Pero esto ya torció
But this has twisted
Y esto es lo que sucedió
And this is what happened
Pachucos suaves bailan rumba
Smooth pachucos dance rumba
Bailan la rumba y la zumba
They dance rumba and zumba
Bailan guaracha sabrosón
They dance tasty guaracha
El botecito y el danzón
The little boat and the danzón
Pachucos suaves bailan rumba
Smooth pachucos dance rumba
Bailan la rumba y la zumba
They dance rumba and zumba
Bailan guaracha sabrosón
They dance tasty guaracha
El botecito y el danzón
The little boat and the danzón
Pachucos suaves bailan rumba
Smooth pachucos dance rumba
Bailan la rumba y la zumba
They dance rumba and zumba
Bailan guaracha sabrosón
They dance tasty guaracha
El botecito y el danzón, yeah
The little boat and the danzón, yeah
Cada sábado en la noche
Every Saturday night
Yo me voy a borlotear
I go out to party
Con mi linda pachucona
With my beautiful pachucona
Las caderas a menear
Shaking her hips
Ella le hace muy de aquellas
She does it so well
Cuando empieza a guarachar
When she starts to dance guaracha
Y al compás de los timbales
And to the beat of the timbales
Yo me siento petatear
I feel like I'm floating
Pachucos suaves bailan rumba
Smooth pachucos dance rumba
Bailan la rumba y la zumba
They dance rumba and zumba
Bailan guaracha sabrosón
They dance tasty guaracha
El botecito y el danzón
The little boat and the danzón
Pachucos suaves bailan rumba
Smooth pachucos dance rumba
Bailan la rumba y la zumba
They dance rumba and zumba
Bailan guaracha sabrosón
They dance tasty guaracha
El botecito y el danzón
The little boat and the danzón
