Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Payaso by Tego Calderón from Spanish to English.
Háblame de quién tú eres para que yo te crea
Tell me who you are so that I can believe you
Aporta algo fanfarronea
Bring something, boast
Dejo que se crea
Let them believe
En la película
In the movie
Tu lírica es súper ridícula
Your lyrics are super ridiculous
El negro Está curao' de espanto en verdad
The black man is scared for real
No me tiene que ayudar ni nada
He doesn't have to help me or anything
El cándido bandido
The naive bandit
Nunca habla de lo vivido
Never talks about what he's lived
Hace lo que haya que hacer y nos fuimos
He does what needs to be done and we're gone
Cántenmela simple pero con sentido
Sing it to me simple but with meaning
Para sonar calle no hay que presentido
To sound street, you don't have to be predictable
Ser negativo ni tan cochinchillo
Be negative or so dirty
Ofrece apuñala, no tiene cuchillo
Offers to stab, doesn't have a knife
Tráela como él, yo no me maquillo
Bring her like him, I don't wear makeup
No corro con cabra le saqué la pata al chivo
I don't run with goats, I pulled the goat's leg
Se acabaron los confis de colores
The colorful candies are over
Llegó el champa oca en los habladores
The champa oca has arrived for the talkers
Pinche vato payaso
Damn clown dude
De la risa me está matando
He's killing me with laughter
Hablan demasiado
They talk too much
Y no van al mambo
And don't go to the party
Pinche vato payaso
Damn clown dude
De la risa me está matando
He's killing me with laughter
Hablan demasiado
They talk too much
Y no van al mambo
And don't go to the party
Pinche vato payaso
Damn clown dude
De la risa me está matando
He's killing me with laughter
Hablan demasiado
They talk too much
Y no van al mambo
And don't go to the party
Pinche vato payaso
Damn clown dude
De la risa me está matando
He's killing me with laughter
Hablan demasiado
They talk too much
Y no van al mambo
And don't go to the party
Tú has matao' como un millón
You've killed like a million
Sin cogerte un caso
Without catching a case
Me delato tú en un payaso
You reveal yourself as a clown
Tú ronca mucho y esa es tu debilidad
You snore a lot and that's your weakness
Aquí en la calle se te fue la credibilidad
Here on the street, you lost your credibility
Tú no tienes amigo
You don't have friends
Tú no tienes gente
You don't have people
Tú anda con testigo
You walk with a witness
Yo ando con presente
I walk with the present
Tú me copia a mí
You copy me
Más cabrón que un samper
More badass than a samper
Y anda por ahí
And you go around
Más cagao' que un pamper
More scared than a pamper
Y ustedes saben que no son de cora
And you all know you're not real
Meten cabra en to' lado menos en la emisora
You bring goats everywhere except the radio station
Me critican
They criticize me
Pero cuando zumbo se pican
But when I buzz, they get mad
Ninguno vive lo que predican
None of them live what they preach
Tú no eres real, tú eres de juguete
You're not real, you're a toy
Tú no eres un hombre, tú eres un mandulete
You're not a man, you're a puppet
Tú no te has graduao, tú eres un cadete
You haven't graduated, you're a cadet
Tú no eres al carbón, tú eres alcahuete
You're not genuine, you're a snitch
Pinche vato payaso
Damn clown dude
De la risa me está matando
He's killing me with laughter
Hablan demasiado
They talk too much
Y no van al mambo
And don't go to the party
Pinche vato payaso
Damn clown dude
De la risa me está matando
He's killing me with laughter
Hablan demasiado
They talk too much
Y no van al mambo
And don't go to the party
Esto es pabilao' activao'
This is activated, super hyped
Súper engorilao
Calibrated
Para mi lado
They talk too much
hablan demasiado
Calm down, I have them figured out
Tranqui-tranquilo los tengo caviao'
So here they
So aquí no pon convivir los mando pa'l barrio en los acostao'
So here I can't send them to live together for the neighborhood in the Acostaos
Tremendo guatazo
Tremendous guatazo
Llévatela viento pero se fue de foul
The wind takes her away but she fouled out
Los que saben, saben que todo lo de ello es montao'
Those who know, know that everything about it is montao'
Que son unos bobos crillao'
They are stupid fools
La culpa es mía por tenerlos mal acostumbrao'
It's my fault for having them badly accustomed'
Por dejársela pasar cuando piden cacao'
For letting them pass when they ask for cocoa'
Tego me llamo para tirarle en el Underdog
Tego called me to throw him in the Underdog
Pues para echarlo no hace falta Glock
Well, to take it out you don't need a Glock.
Hablan de sacarle, matar
They talk about taking him out, killing him
De que mandan y van
What do they command and go?
Pero los quisiera ver en un ran-tan-tan-tan
But I would like to see them in a ran-tan-tan-tan
Donde repalo yo, se mata Tarzan
Where I repair, Tarzan is killed
Si pican fuera del pote se van se van
If they bite out of the pot they leave they leave
Pinche vato payaso
fucking vato clown
De la risa me está matando
Laughter is killing me
Hablan demasiado
They talk too much
Y no van al mambo
And they don't go to the mambo
Pinche vato payaso
fucking vato clown
De la risa me está matando
Laughter is killing me
Hablan demasiado
They talk too much
Y no van al mambo
And they don't go to the mambo
Si no me mata con bala, mátame de risa
If you don't kill me with a bullet, kill me with laughter
Y que me velen en Loiza
And let them watch over me in Loiza
Sáquenme las tripa'
Take out my guts
Y hagan una cuica
And make a cuica
Y al que se tropiece lo pica
And whoever stumbles gets stung
A lo que vivimos, de regreso
To what we live, back
Con violencia no hay progreso
With violence there is no progress
Métele muñeca rómpete los sesos
Put your wrist in, break your brains
Y dime algo en el proceso
And tell me something in the process
Para que lo que escucha salgan ganadores
So that what you hear comes out winners
Soy la conciencia en los jodedores
I am the conscience in the fuckers
Y a mí sin cebones
And to me without baits
Si suenan los cloes
If the cloes sound
Se aprenden algo los menores
Minors learn something
Yo me contradigo
I contradict myself
Cada vez que escribo
Every time I write
Empiezo bien y pierdo los estribos
I start well and lose my temper
Trae colecciones
Bring collections
Despelucan los míos
They unravel mine
Pero legiones pa mis enemigos
But legions for my enemies
Pinche vato payaso
fucking vato clown
De la risa me está matando
Laughter is killing me
Hablan demasiado
They talk too much
Y no van al mambo
And they don't go to the mambo
Pinche vato payaso
fucking vato clown
De la risa me está matando
Laughter is killing me
Hablan demasiado
They talk too much
Y no van al mambo
And they don't go to the mambo
Eso de sacarla pa usarla
That of taking it out to use it
Esta claro pero la condena es larga
It is clear but the sentence is long
El que te lo dijo tal vez nunca preso ha ido
The one who told you may never have been in prison.
Ma', yo sé lo que te digo
Ma', I know what I'm telling you
