Lyrics of El Bandido Salto De Mata - La Vela Puerca

El Bandido Salto De Mata (original)

Tené cuidado porque te mata
Es el bandido salto de mata
Si me lo encuentro yo en esa esquina
Salgo corriendo por la avenida
Y si te pesca dándole cuerda
O ayudando a la gente enferma
Te va a dar palo hasta que se borre
Todo ese rollo sobre los pobres
Te va a dar palo hasta que se borre
Todo ese rollo sobre los pobres
Y ahí… salto de mata
Llego del norte dándole lata
Es el bandido saltodemata
Toda la gente tiembla de miedo
Cuando aparece con su sombrero
Latinoamérica de colores
Yo mas me acerco y mas huelo olores
Latinoamérica confundida
Por los caminos llenos de vida
(Seh)
Si un latino se esconde me dicen adonde
Para que lo pueda traer
Y si el bandido aparece la gente
Enloquece no seas el primero en caer
Gente bien, gente humilde cansada
De palo no vamo´ a dejarno´ arrastrar
No te asustes mujer, no te ponga
A correr, vida mía, esto va a terminar
(Picho)

(translation)

Be careful because it kills you
It's the jump kill bandit
If I find him in that corner
I run down the avenue
And if he catches you by winding him up
Or helping sick people
It's going to hit you until it's erased
All that stuff about the poor
It's going to hit you until it's erased
All that stuff about the poor
And there… jump from kills
I come from the north giving it a can
It's the bandit jumpdemata
All the people tremble with fear
When he shows up with his hat
Latin America in colors
The closer I get and the more I smell odors
Latin America confused
Along the roads full of life
(Yeah)
If a Latino hides, they tell me where
So that he can bring
And if the bandit shows up, the people
Go crazy don't be the first to fall
Good people, tired humble people
As a stick we are not going to let ourselves be dragged
Don't be scared woman, don't put yourself
Run, my life, this is going to end
(Picho)
