Chilanga Banda [English translation]

Come on you chilango dude,

what a lame job you had to deal with.

Is not nice to be wearing a tie

and knock it of with the tray.

As fat as a bedbug,

more corrupted than an illegal product.

With a gun and a night stick

I can switch you to work as a bodyguard.

I prefer to have a beer

and luckily I'll sleep with girl.

Working as a taxi driver

I got plenty drink and party.

If I crash, I get a bump on my head.

The police is not very friendly;

they work annoying us that do work

and their days go by demanding bribes from the ones that work.

In the night I show up at the club

"Come on, dude" says the girl;

while rivers of people gather up (in the club)

The party gets started.

[Chorus]

Pachucos, cholos y chundos (see foot notes),

dresses and bad outfits.

Here the bros do a good job (referring to dancing)

and they dance "tibiri tabara" (meaningless phrase) x3

I better have a beer

and luckily I'll sleep with girl.

Working as a taxi driver

I have plenty drink and party.

My "ñero" (bro) is way better than the band

and he sing anything.

He lives of pills (drugs)

alcohol, pot and junk food.

[Chorus] x2

Robbing everywhere

there goes the chilanga gang (any gang from Mexico City)

F**k you if you swear against me

and careful since it might pay back to you.
