Juanito Alimaña [English translation]

The street is a concrete rainforest

And full of wild beasts, of course

And there's noone to get out happily mad

Wherever you look, the worst is waiting for you

Wherever you look, the worst is waiting for you

Juanito Alimaña is getting to the bar with a lot of agility

Taking out his knife without thinking twice

Telling them to give him the cashier

Taking out the notes, taking out the gun - Boom!

He's leaving like the wind

while he's fleeing

and although they've seen him

Nobody saw a thing

Juanito Alimaña is picking up his cane for his crime

And produces his own orgy

People fear him

Because it's dangerous

To put the hands on him

You have to be brave

When they take him to prison

He goes out the next day

Because one of his cousins

Works for the police

Juanito Alimaña

If he knows what to do he's the living evil

And he's always in line

With the ones on top

And although he stole

The money of half the world

And everyone objects

Noone denounces

And although he stole

The money of the whole world

And everyone objects

Noone denounces

Him to the law law law law

In his world

Women, smoking and cane

He attracts

And Juanito Alimaña is alive

When he was a boy

The things he'd asked for

If you didn't give him, he robbed them

He took them as he liked

In his world

Women, smoking and cane

He attracts

And Juanito Alimaña is alive

This... this tomb he sees

If he thinks it's put up badly

Watch out for your pocket

Because he knows about that

In his world

Women, smoking and cane (attracting)

He attracts (attracting)

And Juanito Alimaña is alive

If I see him the next day

I'm guided, he told me

This tomb here is what you wanted

Because my cousin is policeman

In his world

Women, smoking and cane (that's him)

He attracts (that's him)

And Juanito Alimaña is alive

Listen... like the devil fetching a soul

He's triggering his shot

And although the people saw him

They don't rob him, because nobody saw anything

In his world

Women, smoking and cane

He attracts

And Juanito Alimaña is alive

The king of crime

Yesterday Facundo told me

All the world knows him

Listen in the underworld

In his world

Women, smoking and cane

He attracts

And Juanito Alimaña is alive

Look, look at his hands

There's no callus

He never worked

And still he's living quite well

In his world

Women, smoking and cane

He attracts

And Juanito Alimaña lives

(2x)

Listen, yesterday he was very sad

And he was crying bent down

I'm coming back from a burial

burrying Pedrito Navajas

In his world

Women, smoking and cane

He attracts

And Juanito Alimaña is alive

Look, people are afraid of this guy

Because he's always caucious

Tell me whom in the quarter

of the buddies he hasn't burried

In his world

Women, smoking and cane

He attracts

And Juanito Alimaña is alive
