Mírame, estamos aquí
Look at me, we are here
Desde hace rato cuando ustedes llegaron
For a while when you arrived
Ya estaban las huellas de nuestros zapatos
The footprints of our shoes were already there
Se robaron hasta la comida de gato
They even stole the cat food
Y todavía se están lamiendo el plato
And they're still licking the plate
Bien encabronao con estos ingratos
Really pissed off with these ungrateful ones
Hoy le doy duro a los tambores, hasta que me acusen de maltrato
Today I hit the drums hard, until they accuse me of mistreatment
Si no entiendes el dato, pues te lo tiro en cumbia
If you don't understand the fact, well, I throw it to you in cumbia
Bossa nova, tango o vallenato
Bossa nova, tango, or vallenato
A lo Calabó y Bambú, bien frontú

Hay que ser bien bruto, bien hueco
You have to be really dumb, really hollow
Es como decir que África es solo Marruecos

Con la valdivia precolombina

Pero ni con toa la marina pueden sacar de la vitrina
But not even with all the navy can they remove from the showcase
A la peste campesina

El machete no es solo pa' cortar caña
The machete is not just for cutting sugar cane
También es pa' cortar cabeza'
