Below, I translated the lyrics of the song La Tiendita by Regulo Caro from Spanish to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Tanto tiempo a pasado y sigo luchando
So much time has passed and I'm still fighting
De los 20 no paso y sigo en el barrio
I'm not over 20 and I'm still in the neighborhood
Y eh mirado a muchos caer de la sima
And I have seen many fall from the abyss
Los matan o los meten a la escuelita
They kill them or put them in school
Jodido pero saco pa la tortilla
Fucked but I take out the tortilla
Y yo sigo aquí
And I'm still here
Aquí sigo atendiendo mi 'Tiendita'
Here I continue to attend my 'Shop'
Mis amigos todos se fueron pa arriba
My friends all went up
Y ahora que tienen con que
And now that they have what
Ya ni se arriman
they don't even come close anymore
Los miro pasar en sus trocas del año
I watch them go by in their trucks of the year
Y yo sigo en mi chachita circulando
And I'm still in my little girl circulating
Y ahora que disque toman pura buchanans
And now that they drink pure buchanans
Y mientras que aquí hacemos rendir
And while here we make surrender
Con un baso la cahuama
With a glass the loggerhead
Hay raza que se la lleva charoleando
There is a race that takes it charoleando
Presumen trabajar para un fulano
They presume to work for a guy
Dicen estar al millón con todos ellos
They say they are a million with all of them
Y ellos mismos los entregan al gobierno
And they themselves deliver them to the government
Cuando les matan al jefe los contrarios
When the boss is killed by the opponents
Hay luego cambian de bandera
There is then they change the flag
Y hay andan lambiendole al otro bando
And there are licking the other side
(Y no te acabes Obregon, Sonora
(And don't finish Obregon, Sonora
Hay te ca Tuti, Alex, Juanacas al Edwin)
Hay te ca Tuti, Alex, Juanacas al Edwin)
Cuando apenas ya me andaba alibianando
When I was barely getting excited
Me salieron con que había un nuevo encargado
They told me that there was a new manager
Que si no pagaba plaza me ponian
That if I didn't pay for a place, they would put me
Y que el precio de la libra subirían
And that the price of the pound would rise
Pal cochinero de llelo que sacaron
Pal pig of llelo that they took out
Pero no señor tengo mi dignidad
But no sir I have my dignity
Jodido pero nunca andaré de gato
Fucked up but I'll never be a cat
Y al final la 'Tiendita' me la cerraron
And in the end the 'Shop' was closed to me
Por la limpia que hicieron aquí en el barrio
For the cleaning that they did here in the neighborhood
Agusto trabajaba todo este tiempo
Agusto worked all this time
Y estos llegan haciendo su cochinero
And these arrive doing their pig
Nomas se la llevan calentando plaza
They just take it heating up the square
Y me robaron la clientela
And they stole my clientele
Y ahora que hace uno pa llenar la pansa
And now what does one do to fill the pansa?
No niego que lo que hago esta muy malo
I do not deny that what I do is very bad
Pero en esta cricis no encuentras trabajo
But in this crisis you can't find a job
Y si encuentras no sale ni pa la renta
And if you find it doesn't even go out for rent
Mucho menos pa salir a dar la vuelta
Much less to go around
Ni vendiendo droga sacas pa la leche
Not even selling drugs do you get the milk
Imaginen, imaginen trabajar como la gente
Imagine, imagine working like people
