Chuy Piedra
Gerardo Ortiz
Lyrics
Translation
De respeto el gran muchacho
The great kid of respect
Y de amigo fue el mejor
And the best of friends
Del negosio en su trabajo
In business, in his job
Ese si se la rifo
He really pulled through
Y en su lightning por delante
And ahead in his lightning
Para ganar el jalon
To win the challenge
Mucha gente lo apreciava
Many people appreciated him
Por ser listo y de arrancon
For being clever from the start
Gente qe anda en el negocio
People in the business
Y no tiene corazon
Who lacked heart
Pero pa lavar la ropa
But to wash clothes
Dicen qe el era el mejor
They say he was the best
Un viernes 4 la fecha
On Friday the 4th, the date
Ese dia me alcanzo
That day caught up with me
La calaca tenebrosa
The eerie grim reaper
Formo parte de la accion
Became part of the action
Soy chuy piedra el de la rosca
I'm Chuy Piedra, from the group
Mi tocayo me llevo
My namesake took me
Mi novia como olvidarla
My girlfriend, how to forget her
Su cariño y condicion
Her affection and condition
Tambien mi linda familia
Also my lovely family
Qe me entrego su atencion
Who gave me their attention
Y a mi madrecita linda
And to my dear mother
Le dejo mi corazon
I leave my heart
La divercion de mi vida
The fun of my life
Se la devo a mi señor
I owe it to my Lord
A mis compas qe me estiman
To my buddies who valued me
Y los qise de amonton
And whom I loved greatly
Me aseguro aya en el fuma
I make sure over there in the smoke
Me esperan con anvicion
They wait for me with anticipation
La calaca ahora es mi amiga
Death is now my friend
Por qe esa me arrevazo
Because that one challenged me
No pudo correr mi lightning
My lightning couldn't run
Y yo le sedo mi honor
And I yield my honor to it
Y si pierdo en la revancha
And if I lose in the rematch
Me regreso al arrancon
I return to the starting line
