El Centenario Lyrics in English Los Tucanes De Tijuana
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song El Centenario by Los Tucanes De Tijuana from Spanish to English.
Si eres pobre te humilla la gente
If you're poor people humiliate you
Si eres rico te tratan muy bien
If you're rich they treat you really well
Un amigo se metió a la mafia
A friend got into the mafia
Porque pobre ya no quiso ser
Because he didn't want to be poor anymore
Ahora tiene dinero de sobra
Now he has money to spare
Por costales le pagan al mes
They pay him by the sack every month
Todos le dicen el centenario
Everyone calls him The Centenario
Por la joya que brilla en su pecho
Because of the jewel that shines on his chest
Ahora todos lo ven diferente
Now everyone sees him differently
Se acabaron sus desprecios
Their scorn is over
Nomas porque trae carro del año
Just because he drives this year's car
Ya lo ven con el signo de pesos
They already see him with the peso sign
Lo persigue el gobierno gabacho
The US government chases him
Pero el no deja de trabajar
But he doesn't stop working
A los ángeles va cada rato
He goes to Los Angeles all the time
Y regresa con un dineral
And comes back with a fortune
El recibió ordenes desde arriba
He got orders from above
Y las cumple a como de lugar
And he obeys them no matter what
Al peligro se acostumbro
He got used to danger
Y por eso no le teme a nada
And because of that he's not afraid of anything
En un Corvette se pasea tranquilo
He cruises calmly in a Corvette
Por Tijuana y por Guadalajara
Through Tijuana and through Guadalajara
Por Los Ángeles y San Francisco
Through Los Angeles and San Francisco
Y también por Las Vegas Nevada
And also through Las Vegas, Nevada
Con la mafia se gana dinero
With the mafia you earn money
Pero se necesita valor
But you need guts
Porque aquí no hay ningún parentesco
Because here there's no kinship
No se permite ningún error
No mistake is allowed
Siempre que anda rifando el pechejo
He's always risking his skin
Con las leyes o con el patrón
With the law or with the boss
