Triste Libertad
Pala Ancha
Lyrics
Translation
Aki me pongo a cantar
Here I start to sing
Esta cumbia callejera
This street cumbia
No es pa q baile cualkiera
It's not for just anyone to dance
Es pa el q sabe bailar
It's for those who know how to dance
Cuando empeicen a escuchar
When they start to listen
Se formara una avalancha
An avalanche will form
Y las chichis en la cancha
And the ladies in the field
Seguro haran el awante
Surely will cheer
Para el lindo del cantante
For the handsome singer
De este grupo....pala ancha!
Of this group... pala ancha!
Ahi va esta cumbia q le canto a los muchachos
Here goes this cumbia that I sing to the boys
Q por ser pobres hoy se encuentran encerrados
Who, for being poor, find themselves locked up today
Hoy q estoy libre yo les mando un gran abrazo
Today, now that I'm free, I send them a big hug
Para q sepan q jamas los he olvidado
So they know I have never forgotten them
Cumpli la pena q me dieron de fugado
I served the sentence they gave me as a fugitive
Juro q extraño todos esos buenos ratos
I swear I miss all those good times
Q estando entre rejas
Spent behind bars
He pasado junto a ustedes
With you
Donde hoy estan
Where they are now
Donde hoy estan
Where they are now
Me desespero y no puedo soportarlo
I despair, and I can't bear it
Me preso al faso, a la coca y al eskabio
I cling to weed, to coke, and to booze
Tengo un delirio q lokura total
I have a delirium, what total madness
Estoy del bocho me kiero rescatar
I'm out of my mind; I want to redeem myself
No me van atrapar
They won't catch me
No me van atrapar
They won't catch me
Ya van 2 veces q los vigis me soltaron
Twice now, the guards have let me go
Y desde entonces yo no encuentro ni trabajo
And since then, I can't find a job
Estando adentro por lo menos me esforzaba
Inside at least, I made an effort
Hoy q estoy libre hasta el momento me reskato
Now that I'm free, I'm trying to get back on track
Aunq me tienen q meter algun cañazo
Even though they have to hit me with something
Pero me siguen como un perro sin gato
But they follow me like a cat without a cat
La tienen clara q si no como
They know well that if I don't eat
Tengo q robar
I have to steal
Tengo q robar
I have to steal
Me desespero y no puedo soportarlo
I despair, and I can't bear it
Me preso al faso, a la coca y al eskabio
I cling to weed, to coke, and to booze
Tengo un delirio q lokura total
I have a delirium, what total madness
Estoy del bocho me kiero rescatar
I'm out of my mind; I want to redeem myself
No me van atrapar
They won't catch me
No me van atrapar
They won't catch me
Me desespero y no puedo soportarlo
I despair, and I can't bear it
Me preso al faso, a la coca y al eskabio
I cling to weed, to coke, and to booze
Tengo un delirio q lokura total
I have a delirium, what total madness
Estoy del bocho me kiero rescatar
I'm out of my mind; I want to redeem myself
No me van atrapar
They won't catch me
No me van atrapar
They won't catch me
