Below, I translated the lyrics of the song El Hoyo by Manu Chao from Spanish to English.
De la mera mata
From the pure bush
Yo vengo del hoyo
I come from the hole
Tepito fayuca
Tepito black market
Yo vengo del hoyo
I come from the hole
De la gran ciudad
From the big city
Yo vengo del hoyo
I come from the hole
Esa es mi bandera
That's my flag
Yo vengo del hoyo
I come from the hole
Hirviente caldera
Boiling cauldron
Yo vengo del hoyoyoyo
I come from the hole-yo-yo-yo
Hoyoyoyo hoyoyoyo
Ho-yo-yo-yo ho-yo-yo-yo
Yo vengo del hoyoyoyo
I come from the hole-yo-yo-yo
Hoyoyoyo hoyoyoyo
Ho-yo-yo-yo ho-yo-yo-yo
Yo vengo del hoyo
I come from the hole
Jamaica sonora
Sonorous Jamaica
Yo vengo del hoyo
I come from the hole
Guerito d'acera
Light-skinned from the sidewalk
Yo vengo del hoyo
I come from the hole
Ahi de su tierra
There from his land
Yo vengo del hoyo
I come from the hole
Mi padre llego
My father arrived
Yo vengo del hoyoyoyo
