Los bandoleros [English translation]

{Note: lyrics are spoken in slang: this is translating the message not the words}

YO! Tego Calderon, Don omar, the bandits

[chorus]

even though they say I'm a bandit wherever i go

i still give thanks to god for being where i am today

and im going to keep my {tumbao}>>>> {style of walking related to gangsters}

and with my eyes bloodshot red

{with my cats activated} >>>>> {meaning friends ready for anything}

you guys have given it all to me

[Tego Calderon verse]

hey i dont care what they say about that nigga...

william landron and i are partners from the avenue

im a bandit just like that Mr politician

who stole all the money and was elected again {as if nothing}

now if it had been Calde or Don Omar

they would have given us conspiracy

and thrown away the key

and im not an example.

my respects to the tempo

his only crime was to have talent

what do you want me to write?

giberish and lies

about how the D.E.A has me in there sights

im clear and clean

all my taxes paid

and if i have no job they criticizes me that im lazy

i give first rate

and they treat me like im second

but just like that they love it

how this negro zumba >>> {Zumba.. to dish out: in this case rhymes or music }

i am your cuco >>> {cuco is similar to boogieman}

i have the Trabuco>>> (trabuco is a kind of pistol)

im know worldwide as the bad one

...[chorus]...

(look)

[Don Omar verse]

damn what a situation...

i caught a case and then they pointed the finger

i was no longer the king of perreo >>>{perreo refers to the genre of music}

now i was tecato>>> {tecato is a drug user}

and another possible offender

two people said that they should throw me in prison

and i dont see it right.

i dont believe in their ungrateful reform system

i got arrested by to pigs just for hanging out >>> {pigs means cops}

and im here gritting my teeth, enduring , and keeping silent

if no one is perfect then tell me why are you judging me

i live my life just like anyone else would...

do what you like.. and take part in its pleasures

my people! im no different then you are

and if today i am a singer its because you made me...

they threw me on the front pages

"they caught a rapper if marijuana ,guns, and suspicious stuff"

it will only make sense in your mind

when you grow up where i grew up

and you are raised where they raised me

man.. so much gossip hurts me

so much gossip hurts ...

if you dont judge me id appreciate it

the benefit of a doubt is deserved by anybody

.............

[Tego Calderon verse]

listen, people like to skin others alive

some as a profession, others just to spread some gossip {exclusive!}

leave you with out a bone

these social kiss as.ses

that make their living with the suffering of others.

i may not be a saint

but still i stay in clave >>> {in this sense clave means the top of my game}

im here paying for all my wrong doings

and im still here moving constantly forward

anyway that you put it i do less harm then i used to.

what really bothers you is that you doomed yourself

you tried to elevate yourself

but you forgot that

our father watches everything from above

the only one that judges the black man without discrimination

and iv never seen "al mannini van dog" >>> {???}

in the streets or in the alley its that bandit calderon

withholding judgment is appreciated

the benefit of a doubt is deserve by anybody

{Don Omar}

withholding judgment is appreciated

the benefit of a doubt is deserved by anybody

{chorus}{fades}
