Below, I translated the lyrics of the song El Bolero by Vagon Chicano from Spanish to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Era un Domingo en la tarde
It was a Sunday afternoon
Y Rutilo, con gran manejo
And Rutilo, with great handling
Hacia rechinar el cuero
Towards grinding leather
De tanto pasar el trapo
From so much wiping the cloth
Pues ese era su trabajo
Well that was his job
Era el bolero del pueblo
It was the town's bolero
Se paro una camioneta
A truck stopped
Juntito, donde el boleaba
Together, where he bowled
Se abrio la puerta
The door opened
Y un tipo de negro
And some kind of black
De ella bajaba
From it came down
Le brillaban las alhajas
Her jewelry shone
Que Rutilo, le miraba
What Rutilo, he looked at him
Oye, bolero mugroso
Hey, dirty bolero
¿Quieres ganar mas dinero?
Do you want to earn more money?
Yo te dare una fortuna
I will give you a fortune
Si tu me haces un trabajo
If you do a job for me
Que lleves estos paquetes
May you carry these packages
Yo te dire a donde y cuando
I will tell you where and when
Rutilo se enfuerecio
Rutilo got angry
Al escuchar al fuereño
When listening to the outsider
Oye, te has equivocado
Hey, you were wrong
Yo soy pobre pero honrado
I am poor but honest
Vete a buscar a otro gato
Go find another cat
Yo aqui tengo mi trabajo
I have my work here
Aquel tipo le insistia
That guy insisted
Y de Rutilo, se burlaba
And he made fun of Rutilo
Yo pense que eras valiente
I thought you were brave
Negro lambezapatillas
Black lambsneakers
Ya no alcanzo a mas decirle
I can't tell you anymore
Rutilo, se le fue encima
Rutilo, it went away
Se batieron un buen rato
They fought for a long time
Y el fuereño, se caia
And the foreigner fell
Ya le sangraba la boca
His mouth was already bleeding
De los golpes que traia
From the blows he had
Para usted son mis respetos
For you are my respects
Muy poco se le entendia
Very little was understood
Llegaron 5 soldados
5 soldiers arrived
Y al momento lo aprhendieron
And immediately they apprehended him
Y a Rutilo, le entregaron
And Rutilo was handed over
Un cheque en blanco firmado
A signed blank check
Señores, la recompensa
Gentlemen, the reward
De este narco mas buscado
Of this most wanted drug dealer
