Las Monjitas Lyrics in English Los Rojos
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Las Monjitas by Los Rojos from Spanish to English.
Una troca salio de Durango
A truck left Durango
A las dos o tres de la mañana
At two or three in the morning
Uh-ah-ja-ja-ja
Uh-ah-ha-ha-ha
Viva México
Long live Mexico
Una troca salio de Durango
A truck left Durango
A las dos o tres de la mañana
At two or three in the morning
Dos muchachas muy chulas, llevaban
Two very cool girls, they were carrying
Coca pura y también marihuana
Pure cocaine and also marijuana
Pero se disfrazaron de monjas
But they disguised themselves as nuns
Para poderla llevar a Tijuana
To be able to take it to Tijuana
Los retenes de la carretera
The checkpoints on the highway
A las monjas no las revisaban
Didn't search the nuns
Tal vez era respeto al convento
Maybe out of respect for the convent
Pero nunca se lo imaginaban
But they never imagined
Que eran dos grandes contrabandistas
That they were two big smugglers
Que en sus barbas la droga pasaban
Who were passing drugs right under their noses
El agente que estaba de turno
The agent on duty
En aquella inspección de Nogales
At that inspection in Nogales
Por lo visto no era muy creyente
Apparently wasn't very religious
Y enseguida empezó a preguntarles
And immediately started asking them
Que '¿de dónde venían y que traiban?'
'Where are you coming from and what do you have?'
Dijo el jefe de los federales
Said the chief of the federal police
Muy serenas contestan las monjas
Very calmly, the nuns answered
'Vamos rumbo de un orfanatorio
'We're heading to an orphanage
Y las cajas que ve usted en la troca
And the boxes you see in the truck
Son tesitos y leche de polvo
Are little teas and powdered milk
Destinados para los huerfanitos
Intended for the orphans
Y si usted no lo cree pues ni modo'
And if you don't believe it, tough luck'
Dijo el jefe de los federales
Said the chief of the federal police
'Voy a hacer el chequeo de rutina
'I'm going to do a routine check
Yo les pido disculpa hermanitas
I apologize, sisters
Pero quiero sacarme la espina
But I want to clear my doubts
Yo presiento que la leche en polvo
I have a feeling that the powdered milk
Ya se les convirtió en cocaina'
Has turned into cocaine'
Con un gesto de burla el agente
With a mocking gesture, the agent
Se arrimó y les dijo a las monjitas
Approached and said to the nuns
'Yo lo siento por los huerfanitos
'I'm sorry for the orphans
Ya no van a tomar su lechita
They won't be able to have their milk anymore
Ahora díganme como se llaman
Now tell me your names
Si no es mucha molestia hermanitas'
If it's not too much trouble, sisters'
Una dijo 'me llamo sor Juana
One said 'my name is Sister Juana
La otra dijo me llamo Sorpresa'
The other said my name is Surprise'
Y se alzaron el habito a un tiempo
And at the same time, they lifted their habits
Y sacaron unas metralletas
And pulled out some machine guns
Y mataron a los federales
And they killed the federal police
Y se fueron en su camioneta
And they drove away in their truck
En Durango se buscan dos monjas
In Durango, two nuns are being sought
Que ya no han regresando al convento
Who haven't returned to the convent
Y una cosa sí les aseguro
And one thing I can assure you
Que llegaron con el cargamento
Is that they arrived with the shipment
Por ahí dicen que están muy pesadas
They say they're very heavy now
Y que viven allá en Sacramento
And that they live over there in Sacramento
De Durango salieron dos monjas
From Durango, two nuns left
A las 2 o 3 de la mañana
At 2 or 3 in the morning
