Tango Del Pecado

Three ram spins *(*** is a ram spin?)

And flops! You went down the hole *(its this an alice in wonderland thing?)

All the rude ones dance over volcanic lava

Turn up the volume to the satanic music

We are going to burn in the fire with the devil

Residente… the *highest exponent* of sin!

Hey princess, your prince the vulgar arrived

That the brawlers *put on a bib*

Get up here in my sailboat

And we are going to insult the whole world

Gentlemanship doesn’t suit me

And besides, people don’t understand

That my endearment for you will never end

Come! Let us go touring!!

Let us go flying __ 30 thousand feet high *(am I missing something w/o the como?)

Let us hatch, 20 creatures *(supposed to be nonsensical?)

I promise you __ 100 adventures *(no como here either)

Double over and show me _______

Be careful the trousers seam is breaking

Those two _____ full of musculature *(refers to what?)

Are popping out of the wrapping

And they make me sick!

To grope her you need a manual *(talking about the girl?)

Tell your babe to release your umbilical cord ****?

To roll all over the sugar cane bed ****?

Directly from hell

Out of the way, the son-in-law arrives

You daddy is square-er than a square

And he doesn’t understand my modern language

Move away, the *trashy one from Trujillo has arrived

Woman you suit me like a finger in a ring

Come and move into my Castle, and every day I will cook you tenderloin

I want to see all the crickets moving on the bottom *?

From anchovy to voyeur *(I don't know what this is about)

Hey, Jibarita if I hand you down, Residente will take off _____

You are the daughter of the demon,

You are humiliating your estate

Better a Don Juan or a Juan Antonio

¡They are screwed, I am going direct to marriage!

There in the hell were you can enjoy yourself

Where people talk poorly and are more fun

My *word I divide in prose

So sweet, to get her armpits greasy

The *spider of the dangerous language arrives…*

*I left the real academics in Spain*

So my bad "gal" if I get wicked

Its you that has me spitting verses

The master of the universe marking territory *(I’m not sure I have this right as it could be something related to the Ms. Universe pageant…)

The purgatory went crazy

Move the tails and horns, and *give up so we can rest eternally*

I feel a pain deep inside my heart

If loving you is a sin

I will burn then in hell by you *(why vos?)

This couldn't have been any more mistranslated.
Calle 13 has some very crazy, mad beautiful lyrics. You my friend just made him look like a absolute idiot. This song talks about a family (the bride's) not liking the boyfriend or groom because of his behavior or beliefs. The song is basically sarcasm in response of the groom being accused of being a spawn of the devil and rude. A hooligan bottom line. But he's saying that none of it matter because his feelings for her don't change. These lyrics however, were translated on Google translate apparently by a non Spanish speaker because the translation is way off. You would have to be a Spanish speaker to fully comprehend the meaning of these lyrics, even if you had the right translation, there are things you can not simply translate to English. Just like many other languages. BTW, to help you all understand this great song, watch the video on YouTube.

Bueno, aunque tù tengas unas buenas razones para quejarte por la traducciòn, quizàs pudieras ser un poco màs amable. Aunque fuera sòlo por el hecho que aquì no necesita solo conocer el espanol, sino tambièn el lunfardo...

1. Como 30 mil = like 30 miles

2. Tell your mom to cut the ubical cord

3. In the end it's vos because in South America they say vos instead of tu
