El Flaco Lyrics in English Luis R Conriquez , Tony Aguirre
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song El Flaco by Luis R Conriquez from Spanish to English.
Verse 1
Quieren andar en mi plaza como si fuera su casa
They want to walk in my square as if it were their home
No entendieron que este lado es donde cuelga la balanza
They didn't understand that this side is where the scale hangs
No aprendieron por las buenas, yo les enseñé a la mala
They didn't learn the hard way, I taught them the hard way
Uno fue con correctivo, otro fue a punta de bala
One was with correction, another was at the point of a bullet
Apenas adolescente cuando me metí al refuego
I was barely a teenager when I went into the fire
Y con tan solo veintinueve, soy el que controla el juego
And at only twenty-nine, I'm the one who controls the game
Tengo nóminas y firmas de personas del gobierno
I have payrolls and signatures of government people
Y el día que quieran voltearse voy a causar un infierno
And the day they want to turn around I'm going to cause hell
Genero lana
wool genre
Fue porque dejé atrás la vida cotidiana
It was because I left everyday life behind
Acá en el norte tengo el área controlada
Here in the north I have the area controlled
Y un solo dedo no se mueve si yo no autorizo aquí en todo Tijuana
And a single finger does not move if I do not authorize here in all of Tijuana
Solo tres letras, las que traen la camisa que ahorita defiendo
Only three letters, the ones that come with the shirt that I defend right now
Pa' mi compadre en Culiacán sobra el respeto
For my friend in Culiacán there is plenty of respect
Las envidias siempre han de hablar
Envy must always speak
Y ahora hasta dicen que me adueño de lo ajeno
And now they even say that I take over other people's things
Y se va hasta la ciudad de Tijuana, Baja California, compa Luis R
And he goes to the city of Tijuana, Baja California, friend Luis R
¡Ánimo!
Cheer up!
Y así nomás, compa Tony Aguirre
And just like that, friend Tony Aguirre
Y puro Kartel Music, viejo
And pure Kartel Music, old man
Puros corridos bélicos
Pure war bullfights
Verse 2
Uno de los más buscados, tengo a todo el mundo atento
One of the most sought after, I have everyone paying attention
La vida es un ajedrez y cuido cada movimiento
Life is chess and I take care of every move
Tengo a TJ tapizado de soldados y armamento
I have TJ covered in soldiers and weapons
Quisieron que las madrinas mordieran el pavimento
They wanted the godmothers to bite the pavement
Carro del año y blindado, mas no piensen que es por miedo
Car of the year and armored, but don't think it's out of fear
No es porque me sobra el power, simplemente porque puedo
It's not because I have too much power, simply because I can
Más que comprobado está que si algo sobra aquí son huevos
It is more than proven that if there is something left over here, it is eggs
Dieciséis años bateando y todavía se las cuento
Sixteen years of batting and I'm still telling you
Ropa de marca
Brand clothes
Y distinguido por un porte de empresario
And distinguished by a businessman's bearing
Pero en las venas me corre sangre de barrio
But neighborhood blood runs in my veins
Y aquí por Baja California me verán sonriendo en los mejores antros
And here in Baja California you will see me smiling in the best clubs
Agradecido con los señores que me han brindado respaldo
Grateful to the gentlemen who have given me support
Pa' que se enteren, soy del Cartel Arellano
So that they know, I am from the Arellano Cartel
Soy encargado de la plaza aquí en la Tía
I am in charge of the plaza here at La Tía
Todos me dicen el Flaco
Everyone calls me Skinny
