Translation

Dicen que la vieron con una mona

They say they saw her with a monkey

Le apodaban la madona y en

They called her the Madonna, and in

Sus venas cabalgaba y sonantes rebotaba

Her veins, she rode, and resonantly bounced


Dicen que las noches lloraba

They say that at night she cried

Sabrá dios que alucinaba y

Only God knows what she hallucinated, and

De repente se oía una fuerte carcajada

Suddenly a loud laugh was heard


Maldita lata amarilla dicen que diario

Damned yellow can they say every day

Le ponía la mona se le escurría

She put the monkey on; it slipped away

Hay que triste pesadilla

What a sad nightmare


Y una noche no volvió

And one night, she didn't come back

La dosis se le paso

The dose got past her

Con la estopa se atraganto

She choked on the wad


El activo la mato

The drug killed her

El activo la mato

The drug killed her


Todos la criticaban

Everyone criticized her

Pero nadie sabia que

But no one knew that

Por dentro ella sufría

Inside, she suffered

Maltratada desde niña

Abused since childhood


En las noches se paseaba

At night, she walked

Al cielo señalaba como si

Pointing to the sky as if

Implorara que diosito la ayudara

She begged for God's help


Maldita lata amarilla dicen que diario

Damned yellow can they say every day

Le ponía la mona se le escurría

She put the monkey on; it slipped away

Hay que triste pesadilla

What a sad nightmare


Y una noche no volvió

And one night, she didn't come back

La dosis se le paso

The dose got past her

Con la estopa se atraganto

She choked on the wad


El activo la mato

The drug killed her

El activo la mato

The drug killed her


Y se corrió la voz

And the word spread

Que doña chona decía

That Mrs. Chona said


Fue la lata amarilla

It was the yellow can

Fue la lata amarilla

It was the yellow can

Fue la lata amarilla

It was the yellow can


Maldita droga asesina

Damned murderous drug
