The page contains the lyrics and English translation of the song "Vigilante" by Hector Lavoe.

Lyrics

A veces la moral y la ley no estn de acuerdo,
Y son estos momentos que pueden hacer de un Delincuente un hombre derecho, la casa, los nios,
La familia, las amistades, la tranquilidad.
Hay veces cuando hay que defenderlas, hay tiempo
Pa quejarse, hay tiempo pa peliar.
La calle esta desierta, la noche ya no es nuestra,
Todos tiemblan al oscurecer, caramba yo prefiero que me juzguen doce a que me entierren seis.
Hay que estar vigilante
Coro:
Vigilante…
Quiero ser vigilante
Coro:
Vigilante…
No salgas solo esta noche, no salgas solo te Digo, que te podras encontrar con tu peor enemigo
Por las calles de mi barrio, la cosa no es como
Antes, solo queda una esperanza, que vengan los vigilantes
Hay que estar vigilante
Coro:
Vigilante…
Quiero ser vigilante
Coro:
Vigilante

Lyrics translation

Sometimes morality and law don't agree,
And it is these moments that can make a criminal a right man, the house, the children,
The family, the friends, the peace of mind.
There are times when you have to defend them, there is time
To complain, there's time to fight.
The street is deserted, the night is no longer ours,
Everybody shudders at Dark, Man. I'd rather be judged twelve than buried six.
You have to be vigilant
Choir:
Vigilant…
I want to be vigilant
Choir:
Vigilant…
Don't go out alone tonight, don't go out alone I'm telling you, you may encounter your worst enemy
In the streets of my neighborhood, the thing is not like
Before, there is only one hope, that the vigilantes will come
You have to be vigilant
Choir:
Vigilant…
I want to be vigilant
Choir:
Vigilant
