Lyrics

Por la esquina del viejo barrio lo vi pasar
Con el tumbao que tienen los guapos al caminar
Las manos siempre en los bolsillos de su gabЎn
Pa’que no sepan en el cual de ellas lleva el pu±al
Usa un sobrero de ala ancha de medio la’o
Y zapatillas pa’si hay problemas salir vola’o
Lentes oscuros pa’que no sepan que estЎ mirando
Y un diente de oro que cuando r­e se ve brillando
Como a tres cuadras de aquella esquina una mujer
Va recorriendo la acera entera por quinta vez
Y en un zaguЎn entra y se da un trago para olvidar
Que el d­a estЎ flojo y no hay clientes pa’trabajar
Un carro pasa muy despacito por la avenida
No tiene marcas pero to’saben que es polic­a
Pedro Navaja y el diente de oro vuelva a brillar
Mientras camina pasa la vista de esquina a esquina
No se ve un alma estЎ desierta to’a la avenida
Cuando de pronto esa mujer sale del saguЎn
Y Pedro Navaja aprieta un pu±o dentro del gabЎn
Mira pa’un lado mira pa’el otro y no ve a nadie
Y a la carrera pero sin ruido cruza la calle
Y mientras tanto en la otra acera va esa mujer
Refunfu±ando pues no hizo pesos con que comer
Mientras camina del viejo abrigo saca un revіlver esa mujer
Iba a guardarlo en su cartera pa’que no estorbe
Un treinta y ocho smith and wesson del especial
Que carga encima pa’que la libre de todo mal
Y Pedro Navaja pu±al en mano le fue pa’encima
El diente de oro iba alumbrando to' a la avenida «guiso fЎcil»
Mientras re­a el pu±al le hund­a sin compasiіn
Cuando de pronto sonі un disparo como una ca±іn
Y Pedro Navaja cayі en la acera mientras ve­a, a esa mujer
Que revіlver en mano y de muerte herida a (c)l le dec­a
Yo que pensaba hoy no es mi d­a, estoy salЎ'
Pero Pedro Navaja tu estЎs peor no estЎs en nЎ'
Y cr (c)anme gente que aunque hubo ruido nadie saliі
No hubo curiosos, no hubo preguntas nadie llorі
Sіlo un borracho con los dos muertos se tropezі
Cogiі el revіlver, el pu±al, los pesos y se marchі
Y tropezando se fue cantando desafina’o
El coro que aqu­ les traje y da el mensaje mi canciіn
La vida te da sorpresas, sorpresas te da la vida Ўay dios!
Pedro Navaja ladrіn de esquina
Quien a hierro mata a hierro termina
La vida te da …
Maleante pescador pa’el anzuelo que tiraste
En vez de una sardina un tiburіn enganchaste
I like to live in America
La vida te da …
Ocho millones de historias tiene la ciudad de Nueva York
La vida te da …
Como decia mi abuelita el que d© єltimo rie se rie mejor
I like to live in America
La vida te da Cuando lo manda el destino no lo cambia ni el mas bravo
Si naciste pa’martillo del cielo te caen los clavos
La vida te da …
En barrio de guapo cuidado en la acera
Cuidao cЎmara que el que no corre vuela
La vida te da …
Como en una novela de Kafka
El borracho doblі por el callejіn

Lyrics translation

Around the corner of the Old Quarter I saw him pass by
With the tumbao that the handsome have when walking
Hands always in your gabYn's pockets
They don't know which one of them carries the fist
Wear a half-la'o wide-brimmed hat
And slippers PA'si there are problems come out Vol'o
Dark lenses that don't know you're looking at
And a gold tooth that when re is seen shining
About three blocks from that corner a woman
He's walking the entire sidewalk for the fifth time
And in a zaguYn enters and takes a drink to forget
That the da estY loose and no customers pa'work
A car passes very slowly down the avenue
She has no marks but to'know she's a cop
Pedro Navaja and the golden tooth shine again
As he walks he passes the view from corner to corner
You don't see a soul estY deserted to'a the avenue
When suddenly that woman leaves the saguYn
And Pedro Navaja squeezes a fist inside the gabYn
Look at one side look at the other and see no one
And to the race but no noise crosses the street
And meanwhile on the other sidewalk goes that woman
He didn't make any weight to eat with.
While walking from the old coat takes out a revilver that woman
I was going to keep it in his wallet so it doesn't get in the way.
A thirty-eight smith and wesson special
That load on pa ' que la Libera de todo mal
And Peter the knife, a handful in his hand, went over him.
The golden tooth was lighting to 'the avenue" stew fYcil»
While rea the fist sinks him without compassion
When suddenly I sound a shot like a pipe
And Pedro Navaja falls on the sidewalk while he sees that woman
That revilver in hand and death wound a (c)l him deca
I thought today is not my da, I'm salY'
But Pedro Navaja you're worse not in nY'
And cr (c)anme people that although there was noise nobody left
There were no curious, no questions no one cried
Silo a drunk with the two dead is tropezi
Take the revilver, handful, weights and marks
And stumbling he went singing out of tune'o
The choir I brought you here and gives the message My Song
Life Gives You surprises, surprises gives you life yay God!
Pedro Navaja corner ladrin
Who kills iron kills iron ends
Life gives you …
Evil fisherman PA'el bait you threw
Instead of a sardine a shark hooked
I like to live in America
Life gives you …
Eight million stories has New York City
Life gives you …
As my grandmother used to say, the last laugh is the best laugh
I like to live in America
Life gives you when it is sent fate does not change even the bravest
If you were born PA ' hammer of heaven you fall nails
Life gives you …
In neighborhood of handsome care on the sidewalk
Take care cYmara that the one who does not run flies
Life gives you …
As in a Kafka novel
Drunk dobli down the alley
