[English]

How much did it cost the one who took her?

If she's just a lowlife South American from a third-world country

No one birthed her

Where did she even come from?

This girl thinks she's an artist

Eh eh

How much are they throwing at her?

Eh eh

How much money

Eh

She dances for a beer

...

Beautiful, don't cry anymore

Under the sky of Tenochtitlán

Beautiful, don't cry anymore

Se eh

They will regret it

...

And the Virgin Mother

The dark-skinned one

Will bless her

Eh eh

How much are they throwing at her?

Eh eh

How much money

Eh

She dances for a beer

...

Beautiful, don't cry anymore

Under the sky of Tenochtitlán

Beautiful, don't cry anymore

Se eh

They will regret it

...

Hail Mary, full of grace

The Lord is with thee

Blessed art thou amongst women

And blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus

Holy Mary

Mother of God

Pray for us

Now and at the hour of our death

Our death

Nuestra muerte

Our death

Our death

...

[Spanish]

Cuánto le costó quien se la cogió

Si es una puta sudaca tercermundista

Nadie le parió

De donde apareció

La mina se cree artista

Eh eh

Cuanto le meten

Eh eh

Cuanto billete

Eh

Le baila por una birra

Bella no llores más

Bajo el cielo de Tenochtitlán

Bella no llores más

Se eh

Se arrepentirán

Y la virgen madre

La morena

La va a bendecir

Eh eh

Cuanto le meten

Eh eh

Cuanto billete

Eh

Le baila por una birra

Bella no llores más

Bajo el cielo de Tenochtitlán

Bella no llores más

Se eh

Se arrepentirán

Dios te salve Maria

Llena eres de gracia

El señor es contigo

Bendita eres entre todas las mujeres

Y bendito es el fruto de tu vientre Jesús

Santa Maria

Madre de Dios

Ruega por nosotros

Ahora y en la hora de nuestra muerte

Nuestra muerte

Nuestra muerte

Nuestra muerte
