[English]

Understand.

The small bills from Haciénes keep coming in.

Everything's going great, man, very soon

buddy. Get the party started, get the green out now,

man, it’s looking like it’ll be a long night until dawn.

That kid is totally tripping, like he’s

still in school doing his homework. What a lovely way to

spend money on women, just flowing, I think

it's obvious and it's coming. Oh, just to

see what's up, what's the deal, that the kid

grew up and now he's hooked on a girl, she's

shaking it and dancing for me. He's really feeling it.

I'm testing the waters. I'm a gangster, just

for show, and the skinny guys are. It's been three days

since I've stopped, but I'm totally high. I don't care.

And oh well,

buddy.

Take it easy. My mind is always

dark and heavy. I'm just buzzing,

getting it, making big moves and generating cash.

Because they used to say I didn't love her, that

I had a reputation for being a player. Envy, I don't know

how they scale it. I don't care either way,

since I'm not playing games. Oh, just to

see what's up, what's the deal, that the kid

grew up and now he's hooked on a girl, she's

shaking it and dancing for me. He's really feeling it.

I'm testing the waters, I'm not a gangster,

just for show, and the skinny guys are. It's been

three days since I've stopped, but I'm totally high,

I don't care and oh well.

[Spanish]

Vanar bien perrón loco en breve

compadre. Saque la loqueron la verde ya

papá largo se guacha amanece.

Está bien ondeadote se plebe que la

escuela que los deberes. Linda manera de

gastar en mujeres fluyendo pienso

manifiesto y se viene. Ay, para que

guach que pedo, qué tranza que el morro

creció y machin pegó un culito me anda

meneando y periqueando. Se puso bieno.

Ando calando. Soy malandro, no más la

finta y los flacos son. Ya van tres días

que no paro, pero bien trabado. Vale

Que vaya con calma. La mente siempre

agarrea, rifando macizo generando lana.

Por decían que yo no la amaba, que de

mañoso tenía fama. envidias, no sé

como la escala. Igual me vale

pues no ando en la maña. Ay, para que

guach que pedo, qué tranza que el morro

goto. Ando calando, no soy malandro, no

más la finta y los flacos son. Ya van

tres días que no paro, pero bien trabado
