Translation of the song lyrics Mi Barrio - Ivy Queen

Mi Barrio (original)

Yah, dedicado pa mi barrio
Mi gente, que tanto kiero
La gente que lleva a Ivy Queen de corazón
En la calle me criaron
De ahi salí yo pa rankiarme
Pero en el barrio se sabe
Lo dificil que es pa callarse
El humo que arrebata
El carro de los gangsters
El anciano que espera
Que es su turno para marcharse
El político llegó
De iluciones los llenó
Se jodio, una vez que gane
De mi barrio se olvidó
De que me vale un voto
Si nadie ayuda ami viejita
A darle
Lo que necesita
La señorita que estudia
Para un futuro seguro
Con intenciones de darle
Algo A los suyos
Y yo, vivo orgullosa
Del barrio en que salí
Yo soy un fiel ejemplo
Y la calle vive en mi
Camina
Que están velando
Los velorios en la esquina
Mi vida
Es la del barrio, calle
Y party e marquesina (x 2)
Aun recuerdo las parcelas
Un soldado bueno ha caído
El barrio lo está llorando
Por que siempre fue querido
Se fué quien repartia el fuete
Prendam los velones
Pa que el alma del tipo
Se me aquiete
Doña fina con sus rolos puestos
El corillo, en los topos envueltos
Loco andan sueltos
Hoy se llevaron
Otro mas por chota
Le dieron lo que le toca
Y le partieron su bocota
La panadería, esta encendía
Pasa el carro tintiau de la policïa
Y Elía, gritaba agua
Que se está quemando
Las doña en las ventanas
Ya se iban asomando
Y yo, vivo orgullosa
Del barrio en que salí
Yo soy un fiel ejemplo
Y la calle vive en mi
Camina
Que están velando
Los velorios en la esquina
Mi vida
Es la del barrio, calle
Y party e marquesina (x 2)
La lealtad del barrio
De la gente humilde
La risa del niño
El llanto del triste
Bienvenido
Todos Sean a la realidad
Donde el pobre lucha
Pa tener su pan
Y si ahora van
A juzgarme por que soy del getto
No me arrepiento
Yo vivo orgullosa
De mi barrio entero y kiero
Si un dia muero
Que Sepan la verdad
Yo vengo de la calle
Y eso no me va a cambiar
Camina
Que están velando
Los velorios en la esquina
Mi vida
Es la del barrio, calle
Y party e marquesina (x 2)
Party e marquesina
La calle, el barrio
La gente humilde del getto
Los que yo kiero
Los que yo llevo de corazón
Hey, dile Omar, que eso es verdad
Ah, ye, Añasco

(translation)

Yah, dedicated to my neighborhood
My people, that I love so much
The people who have Ivy Queen in their hearts
In the street I was raised
That's where I came out to rank
But in the neighborhood it is known
How difficult it is to shut up
The smoke that snatches
The gangster car
The old man who waits
It's your turn to go
The politician arrived
He filled them with illusions
He screwed up, once he wins
He forgot about my neighborhood
What's a vote worth?
If no one helps my old lady
to give
what you need
the lady who studies
For a secure future
With the intention of giving
something to yours
And I live proud
From the neighborhood in which I left
I am a faithful example
And the street lives in me
walk
What are they watching?
The wakes on the corner
My life
It is the neighborhood, street
And party and marquee (x 2)
I still remember the plots
A good soldier has fallen
The neighborhood is crying
Why was he always loved?
It was who distributed the fuete
light the candles
So that the soul of the guy
it quiets me down
Fine lady with her rollers on
The corillo, in the wrapped moles
crazy they are loose
Today they took
another one for chota
They gave him what he got
And they broke his mouth
The bakery, it lit up
The tintiau police car passes
And Elía, shouted water
what is burning
The ladies in the windows
They were already appearing
And I live proud
From the neighborhood in which I left
I am a faithful example
And the street lives in me
walk
What are they watching?
The wakes on the corner
My life
It is the neighborhood, street
And party and marquee (x 2)
neighborhood loyalty
of humble people
child's laugh
The cry of the sad
Welcome
Everybody Be Real
where the poor fight
To have your bread
And if now they go
To judge me because I'm from the ghetto
I do not regret
I live proud
Of my entire neighborhood and I want
If one day I die
let them know the truth
I come from the street
And that won't change me
walk
What are they watching?
The wakes on the corner
My life
It is the neighborhood, street
And party and marquee (x 2)
Party and marquee
The street, the neighborhood
The humble people of the ghetto
the ones i love
The ones that I take from my heart
Hey, tell Omar, that's true
Oh yeah, Añasco
