Translation of the song lyrics La Leyenda - Sergio Contreras

La Leyenda (original)

Mira tu que cosa, más linda y sabrosa
Rap latino y en andaluz…
Abro mi boca con la intencion de seguir la historia
Y para ti,"pa" ti, mi prosa
Ven que hoy te canto de corazon a ti
Ya esta bien amigo mio de tanto fingir
Rap latino y en andaluz, todo mezclado,"pa"que lo «goses» tu…
Una historia verdadera que dice…
Una chica bonita, bonita, inteligente, humilde, trabajadora
Como a sus amigas, le gustaba rumbear
En la plaza o en el solar, hasta altas horas
Diecisiete primaveras, su piel, morena
Morena… color de tierra
Llama la atencion, la pobre Maria;
Cuando bailaba esta plenayo me moria…
Era verano, la plaza estaba llena
Todos los cubanos con arte rumbeando
A ritmo de un guaguanco, mira sabroso
Caliente y marchoso, yo me cojo
Ahi va Maria, sale a la pista
Al fondo un chico no le quita ojo
Ella lo mira mientras lo baila sin despojo
Al cabo de un rato el se le acerca
Y le dice algo al oido
No termina de bailar
Y ya se ha ido, sigue la fiesta, pero ya es diferente
Esa noche pasaba algo, se nota, se huele en el ambiente…
Hoy te traigo la leyenda…
El secreto de Maria que nadie conoce
Hoy te traigo la leyenda…
Conoceras por fin la historia, oscura historia
Hoy te traigo la leyenda…
El secreto de Maria que nadie conoce
Hoy te traigo la leyenda…
Que se forjo en la habana, escucha tu mi pana!
OYE¡ mira tu que cosa, mas linda y sabrosa
Rap latino y en andaluz…
Abro mi boca con la intencion de seguir mi historia
Y para ti,"pa" ti, mi prosa
Ven que hoy te canto de corazon a ti
Ya esta bien amigo mio de tanto fingir
Rap latino y en andaluz, todo mezclado
«pa» que lo «gose» tu…
Se hace de dia, seis de la mañana, abre sus grandes
Y verdes ojos Maria
Treinta y cinco grados, pero ella tiene frio
No puede ni comer, le tiemblan las manos
Como cada dia, directa al malecom, alli
Trabaja limpiando la estacion
Hoy pasando por su barrio (CAYO HUESO)
Ni un piropo, ya no le tiran besos
La sorpresa se refleja en su cara
La estacion no esta limpia y esta cerrada
Fuera en el porton, un papel pegado
Disculpen las molestias, cerrado por defuncion
El chico aquel anoche en la velada
Llevaba enamorado de la muchacha
Poco más de cuatro meses y algun que otro dia
Estaba ciego, llevado por la ira
En medio de la noche, le oi gritar:
«O MIA O PA NADIE MARIA!»
Ella no entiende nada, pobre Maria
Aun no sabe que fue ASESINADA…
Hoy te traigo la leyenda…
El secreto de Maria que nadie conoce
Hoy te traigo la leyenda…
Conoceras por fin la historia, oscura historia
Hoy te traigo la leyenda…
El secreto de Maria que nadie conoce
Hoy te traigo la leyenda…
Que se forjo en la habana, escucha tu mi pana!(2)

(translation)

Look what a thing, more beautiful and tasty
Latin rap and in Andalusian…
I open my mouth with the intention of following the story
And for you,"for" you, my prose
Come today I sing from my heart to you
It's okay my friend from pretending so much
Latin and Andalusian rap, all mixed"so that you can gosses it…
A true story that tells...
A pretty, pretty, smart, humble, hard-working girl
Like her friends of hers, she liked to party
In the square or on the lot, until late hours
Seventeen springs, her skin, brown
brunette… earth color
It draws attention, poor Maria;
When she danced this plenayo I would die...
It was summer, the square was full
All Cubans with art partying
At the rhythm of a guaguanco, look tasty
Hot and horny, I fuck myself
There goes Maria, she goes out on the track
In the background a boy can't take his eyes off her
She looks at it while she dances it without dispossession
After a while he he he approaches her
And she whispers something in his ear
She doesn't finish dancing
And she's already gone, the party continues, but it's already different
That night something happened, she shows it, you smell it in the environment...
Today I bring you the legend…
The secret of Maria that nobody knows
Today I bring you the legend…
You will finally know the story, dark story
Today I bring you the legend…
The secret of Maria that nobody knows
Today I bring you the legend…
That was forged in Havana, listen to my corduroy!
HEY, look what a thing, more beautiful and tasty
Latin rap and in Andalusian…
I open my mouth with the intention of following my story
And for you,"for" you, my prose
Come today I sing from my heart to you
It's okay my friend from pretending so much
Latin and Andalusian rap, all mixed
“pa” that you “gose” it…
It is day, six in the morning, it opens its great
And green eyes Maria
Thirty-five degrees, but she's cold
She can't even eat, her hands are shaking
Like every day, directly to the malecom, there
Work cleaning the station
Today passing through her neighborhood (CAYO HUESO)
Not a compliment, they no longer throw kisses at him
Her surprise is reflected on her face
The station is not clean and is closed
Outside at the gate, a piece of paper stuck
Sorry for the inconvenience, closed due to death
The boy that last night at the party
He was in love with the girl
Little more than four months and the odd day
He was blind, driven by rage
In the middle of the night, I heard him shout:
"O MIA O NOBODY MARIA!"
She doesn't understand anything, poor Maria
She still doesn't know that she was MURDERED...
Today I bring you the legend…
The secret of Maria that nobody knows
Today I bring you the legend…
You will finally know the story, dark story
Today I bring you the legend…
The secret of Maria that nobody knows
Today I bring you the legend…
That was forged in Havana, listen to my corduroy!(2)
