| Por las noches va y con la juerga está | At night he goes and with the party he is |
| con la fiesta y se te pierde el chaval… | with the party and you lose the kid… |
| La policia va tras la huella está | The police go after the footprint is |
| tras la puerta te está buscando chaval. | behind the door is looking for you kid. |
| Y se reía mientras miraba | And she laughed as she watched |
| su cigarro al encender, | her cigarette from her when lighting, |
| y por la noche las mujeres le reían, | and at night the women laughed at him, |
| la escalera cuesta abajo y la calle cuesta arriba, | the downhill stairway and the uphill street, |
| la policía hoy te busca sólo a tí… | Today the police are only looking for you... |
