La Plaka

Yo soy un vato simple
y no me meto con nadie
camino por los vuelos
y barrios todo me va bien.
 
Pero tengo un problemita
tu sabes no falta alguien
que salga con sus chingaderas
y nunca falle de andar por mi calle.
 
No estoy hablando de los vagos
los marijuanos ni los dagos
mis hermanos y en el rombo
ni la bola de borrachos
que toman tragos de venado.
 
Son del otro lado
vienen acá y se ponen bravos
en mi colonia es la misma historia de malos
pelean y disparos como charros nos sale caro.
 
La ley clasifica criminal a los poblanos
ya vengo yo,
yo tengo rasurado el coco
ellos me miran como loco.
 
Ahí viene el chota en su moto
me esculcan las bolsa
y me tocan los huevos
como joto.
 
Cuando viene por la calle
buscando al que trae
la marca del Psycho que esta contrae.
 
La placa chueca te agarra te esculca
de planta mota y coca y te acusa que es tuya
 
Cuando vienes por la calle del centro
para encontrarme aquí estoy ese calle
 
Despierta o te tumba
ponte trucha esconde la busca
te mata sin lastima que es lo que pasa
 
Que pleito tiene con migo la jura
mira que estoy pelón y tengo tatuajes
luego piensan basura que soy travesura
desmadre pura mala aventura de cuetasos
dejando la vida dura
 
Se fija el puerco
se pone terco luego se porta bien hueco
el es el que me busca y yo ni me le acerco
pero de todos modos me quiere ver muerto
me trae parado contra el cerco
 
Esposas en las muecas, pinche placa chueca
es azteca pero se cree gringo
se pone al brinco con su propia raza
y no con otros pa' que vean el jefe
blanco que no es como nosotros
 
Pero mírate nopalito tu sabes
que eres indio como nosotros somos iguales
aquí en tu rumbo nos tratas como animales
ven al barrio y trata eso je! nunca sabes
 
Cuando viene por la calle
buscando al que trae
la marca del Psycho que esta contrae.
 
La placa chueca te agarra te esculca
de planta mota y coca y te acusa que es tuya
 
Cuando vienes por la calle del centro
para encontrarme aquí estoy ese calle
 
Despierta o te tumba
ponte trucha esconde la busca
te mata sin lastima que es lo que pasa
 
Le dicen jura, placa, puerco, chota
vienen a mi chate buscando la bronca
me encuentran en el sillón
rascándome la pelotas
 
Fumándome el leño pal sueño
o de califas mota, idiota
cuidando mis jainas 'sta loca
escondida en el pasillo con la busca
pero no se nota
 
La policía no se mueva
callete la boca
si te mueves disparo
 
Me amenaza pero no me toca
que se cree el oficial soca
sustituta lo que tienes chico con su pistolota
la ronda te lleva al funeral compa'
 
Caíste por acá buscando criminal onda
movida onda orden de cateo
entrando sin permiso pueden terminar muy feo
ponte trucha ese estas en mi terreno
en eso sale mi vieja escupiéndome veneno
 
Un tiro para el chota güero
dos tiros para el traicionero
tres tiros por ser culero
cuatro por los perros

The Cops

I'm a simple kind of guy
and I don't start nothing with nobody
I walk these streets
and neighborhoods, it all goes well for me.
 
But I have a little problem,
you know there's always somebody
that comes out with their bullshit
and never fails to walk down my street.
 
I'm not talking about the slackers1,
the pot heads nor the gringos,
my brothers on the lookout,
nor the lot of drunks,
taking shots of Venado2.
 
They're from the other side,
they come here and act all tough
it's the same evil story in my community3,
they fight and they shoot, just as flashy
as they are expensive4.
 
The law classifies the poblanos5 as criminals
and here I come, with my head shaved
and they look at me like I'm crazy.
 
Here comes the cops on their bikes
they look through my pockets,
and they grab my balls
like a bitch6.
 
When they come to our street
they look for the one that has
the mark of Psycho, their number one enemy7.
 
The dirty cops grab you and frisk you
they plant dope and coke on you and
say that it's yours.
 
When you come to the central,
looking for me, I'm on this street.
 
Wake up or they'll lock you up8
stay on the look out, hide your stash
they'll kill you without mercy, that's how it goes.
 
What beef9 do the cops have with me,
look, just because I'm bald and I got tattoos
they think I'm trash, they think I'm trouble
a wild chaos of shots, I lead a hard life.
 
The pig has his eye on me
he gets stubborn and acts real fake10
it's him who looks for me and I don't even approach him
he wants to see me dead anyway
he's got me standing against the fence.
 
Handcuffs on my wrists, fucking dirty cops
he's one of us11, but he thinks he's a gringo
he jumps the gun on his own people,
and no one else so that his white boss12 will see
that he's not like us.
 
But take a look at yourself nopalito13, you know
that you're just as native14 as us, we're the same
here on your turf you treat us like animals,
come to the neighborhood and try that there,
ha! you never know.
 
When they come to our street
they look for the one that has
the mark of Psycho, their number one enemy.
 
The dirty cops grab you and frisk you
they plant dope and coke on you and
say that it's yours.
 
When you come to the central,
looking for me, I'm on this street.
 
Wake up or they'll lock you up
stay on the look out, hide your stash
they'll kill you without mercy, that's how it goes.
 
They call them the fuzz, boys in blue, pigs, cops15
they come to my house looking for trouble
they find me on my couch
scratching my balls.
 
Smoking that dope to sleep16
or that Cali shit, idiot
taking care of my girls17, they're crazy
hiding in the hallways with my stash
but they can't see them.
 
"Police! nobody move!"
"shut your mouth!"
"if you move I'll shot!".
 
They threaten me but they don't touch me,
they think they're the real deal18,
big gun for what you seem to lack there boy,
a bullet takes you straight to your funeral, my friend.
 
You came here looking for something illegal19
you move on that hunch, telling them to search
coming (to my home) without permission, it'll end real ugly (for you)
stay on the lookout, you're on my turf20
and suddenly my girl21 comes out cursing:
 
One shot for the white cop22
two shots for the traitor,
three shots for the asshole
and four for the rest23.

Toelichting van de vertaler:

I try not to be too offensive with my translations, but seeing as the original lyrics are exactly that; I'm sorry if I didn't do a very good job of taking some of the obscene words out. Words I refused to translate are in the footnotes. I take these songs as a challenge, since I personally think I'm better with the slang over actual proper words most of the time :)
