Mete la mano en el bolsillo
Put your hand in your pocket
Saca y abre tu cuchillo y ten cuidado
Pull out and open your knife and be careful
Pónganme oído en este barrio
Listen to me in this neighborhood
Muchos guapos lo han matado
Many tough guys have been killed
Calle Luna, Calle Sol
Street Moon, Street Sun
Calle Luna, Calle Sol
Street Moon, Street Sun
Oiga señor
Listen, sir
Si usted quiere su vida

Evitar es mejor

O la tienes perdida

Saca y abre tu cuchillo y ten cuidado (oye ten cuidao)
Pull out and open your knife and be careful (hey, be careful)

Mire señora
Look, lady
Agarre bien su cartera
Hold onto your purse
No conoce este barrio
