Chilanga Banda

Enough, Mexico City monkeyYa chole, chango chilango
What a lousy job you take on!¡Qué chafa chamba te chutas!
It's not cool to dress upNo checa andar de tacuche
And screw the badge!¡Y chale con la charola!

As fat as a bedbugTan choncho como una chinche
Crookeder than the black marketMás chueco que la fayuca
With a gun and a clubCon fusca y con cachiporra
You're better off as a copTe pasa andar de guarura

I'd rather have a beerMejor yo me hecho una chela
And maybe pick up a girlY chance enchufo una chava
Working as a driverChambeando de chafirete
I have plenty of booze and partyMe sobra chupe y pachanga

If I crash, I'll get a bumpSi choco saco chipote
The cops aren't very toughLa chota no es muy molacha
Mocking those who crushChiveando a los que machucan
They'll bite their own tailSe va a morder su talacha

At night I go to the diveDe noche caigo al congal
No way!, says the monkey¡No manches!, dice la changa
To the drunk's nonsenseAl choro del teporocho
Whistle, pass the jointEnchifla, pasa la pacha

Pachucos, cholos, and bumsPachucos, cholos y chundos
Petty thieves and scoundrelsChinchinflas y malafachas
Here the big shots ruleAcá los chómpiras rifan
And dance tibiri tabaraY bailan tibiri tabara

Pachucos, cholos, and bumsPachucos, cholos y chundos
Petty thieves and scoundrelsChinchinflas y malafachas
Here the big shots ruleAcá los chómpiras rifan
And dance tibiri tabaraY bailan tibiri tabara

And dance tibiri tabaraY bailan tibiri tabara

And dance tibiri tabaraY bailan tibiri tabara

I'd rather have a beerMejor yo me hecho una chela
And maybe pick up a girlY chance enchufo una chava
Working as a driverChambeando de chafirete
I have plenty of booze and partyMe sobra chupe y pachanga

My buddy kills the roachMi ñero mata la bacha
And sings the cockroachY canta la cucaracha
His thing lives off chicksSu choya vive de chochos
Of weed, joints, and snacksDe chemo, churro y garnachas

Pachucos, cholos, and bumsPachucos, cholos y chundos
Petty thieves and scoundrelsChinchinflas y malafachas
Here the big shots ruleAcá los chómpiras rifan
And dance tibiri tabaraY bailan tibiri tabara

Pachucos, cholos, and bumsPachucos, cholos y chundos
Petty thieves and scoundrelsChinchinflas y malafachas
Here the big shots ruleAcá los chómpiras rifan
And dance tibiri tabaraY bailan tibiri tabara

And dance tibiri tabaraY bailan tibiri tabara

And dance tibiri tabaraY bailan tibiri tabara

Dealing from top to bottomTransando de arriba abajo
