Translation of the song lyrics No te juntes con ellos - Alberto Cortez

No te juntes con ellos (original)

No te juntes con ellos, que se ensucian la boca
Con el grito del fútbol y la gran palabrota
No te juntes con ellos, que se lavan las manos
En el cielo chiquito que reflejan los charcos
No te juntes con ellos, porque pueden romperte
Sus envidias ocultas tus valiosos juguetes
No te juntes con ellos, porque son unos vagos
Que no van a la escuela, que no tienen trabajo
Excelente consejo que ha escuchado mi infancia
Por no haberlo seguido, capture la esperanza
Me junté con los niños que me estaban prohibidos
Y aprendí que si es alto… no peligra tu nido
No te juntes con ellos, que no tienen dinero
Y aprovechan el tuyo para hinchar el carguero
No te juntes con ellos, vagabundos y artistas
Con morales dudosas de filosas aristas
No te juntes con ellos, porque son peligrosos
Porque están en la mina del fusil de los oídos
No te juntes con ellos, porque no han entendido
Que un canario de jaula canta igual… y tranquilo
Excelente consejo que he escuchado de grande
Por no haberlo seguido, desperté mis verdades
Me junté con prohibidos, con tachados y ocultos
Y aprendí que ser limpio… no es igual que ser pulcro
No te juntes con ellos, excelente consejo
Que hoy repito a mi modo: no te juntes con ellos
No te juntes con ellos, cuando huelen a orgullo
Cuando pagan con miedo su alimento seguro
No te juntes con ellos, cuando el brillo es el oro
Y las huecas palabras se repiten a coro
No te juntes con ellos, cuando tienen trabajos
Que les miden la altura del ombligo hacia abajo
No te juntes con ellos, porque fueron los mismos
Que me dieron consejos y de haberlos seguido
No tendría tristeza, ni dolor, ni fatiga
Ni un amor, ni un amigo, ni un recuerdo… ni nada

(translation)

Don't get together with them, they dirty their mouths
With the cry of football and the big curse
Don't hang out with them, they wash their hands
In the small sky that the puddles reflect
Don't hang out with them, because they can break you
Your hidden envy your valuable toys
Do not hang out with them, because they are lazy
They don't go to school, they don't have a job
Excellent advice that my childhood has heard
For not having followed it, I captured hope
I joined the children that were forbidden to me
And I learned that if it is high... your nest is not in danger
Don't hang out with them, they don't have money
And they take advantage of yours to inflate the freighter
Don't hang out with them, bums and artists
With dubious morals with sharp edges
Do not hang out with them, because they are dangerous
Because they are in the mine of the rifle of the ears
Do not associate with them, because they have not understood
That a canary in a cage sings the same... and calmly
Excellent advice that I have heard from great
For not having followed it, I woke up my truths
I joined with prohibited, crossed out and hidden
And I learned that being clean... is not the same as being neat
Don't hang out with them, excellent advice
That today I repeat in my own way: do not hang out with them
Don't hang out with them, when they smell like pride
When they pay for their safe food with fear
Don't hang out with them, when glitter is gold
And the hollow words are repeated in chorus
Don't hang out with them, when they have jobs
That they measure the height of the navel downwards
Don't hang out with them, because they were the same
That they gave me advice and having followed it
I would have no sadness, no pain, no fatigue
Not a love, not a friend, not a memory... not anything
