The page contains the lyrics and English translation of the song "Mi Barrio" by Raul Paz.
Lyrics
salio de casa 'e teresa y un doble nueve en la mesa
provoca la algarabia, en el barrio de belen.
llama al «ambia» que esta al la’o y se prendieron un prajo
para empezar coloca’o, y ver que se inventa hoy
pero en la esquina de abajo, desde hace dos dias ya lo vigila un «abakwa» con pinta y cara de malo.
cuentan de una larga historia que en ciudades sin memoria
suele pasar entre dos que quieren hacer la ley.
por amores o por fe, eso no es lo que aqui importa
cuando la cosa esta corta, en el barrio de belen.
dime que puedo yo hacer?
hay muchos que ya se fueron al cielo
y por alla en «cayo hueso» la gente que lo sabia
no se metieron en eso.
terminaron y salieron, porque el humo quita el miedo.
solo queda demostrar. «maldita reputacion !»
— alla vamos.
— alli voy.
salio al medio de la acera
el hierro que mata y quema en plena demostracion.
sangre, la queja de un grito que lo mato.
cayo en la acera el guapo y se termino.
salio gritando teresa y el domino de la mesa
se quedo sin jugador
eso es lo que pasa hoy, lo que pasa aqui en Mi Barrio.
Lyrics translation
he left home 'e teresa and a double nine at the table
it's a riot in the belen neighborhood.
call the "ambia" who is in La'o and they lit a prajo
to start coloca'o, and see that is invented today
but in the bottom corner, for two days now he is watched by an "abakwa" with bad face and face.
they tell of a long history that in cities without memory
it usually happens between two people who want to make the law.
by love or by faith, that's not what matters here
when the thing is short, in the neighborhood of belen.
tell me what I can do?
there are many who have already gone to heaven
and over there in "key bone" the people who knew it
they didn't get involved in that.
they finished and went out, because the smoke takes away the fear.
it remains only to prove. "damn reputation !»
- here we go.
- I'm going there.
he went out to the middle of the sidewalk
the iron that kills and burns in full demonstration.
blood, the complaint of a scream that killed him.
I fell on the sidewalk handsome and it was over.
teresa and the domino came out of the table.
he's out of a player.
that's what happens today, what happens here in my neighborhood.
