La Bala (original)La Bala (translation)
Voy a contarles la historia I'm going to tell you the story
Ay, de la bala, ay, de la bala Oh, from the bullet, oh, from the bullet
Y si el pulso tengo bueno And if my pulse is good
Voy a hacer fama, voy a hacer fama I'm going to make fame, I'm going to make fame
Pónganle mucha atención pay close attention
A esta copla, a esta copla To this couplet, to this couplet
No vaya a ser que le toque It is not going to be that it touches you
Una bala loca, una bala loca A crazy bullet, a crazy bullet
La bala se dispara the bullet is fired
Ay, se dispara, ay, se dispara Oh, it goes off, oh, it goes off
La bala se dispara the bullet is fired
Ay, se dispara, se disparó Oh, it's fired, it's fired
En las manos del obrero In the hands of the worker
Nació la bala, nació la bala The bullet was born, the bullet was born
Y en las manos de los ricos And in the hands of the rich
Se hizo mala, se hizo mala She became bad, she became bad
Muchos pobres han caído Many poor have fallen
En la represión, en la represión In the crackdown, in the crackdown
Volviendo la bala al nido Returning the bullet to the nest
De su nación, de su nación Of your nation, of your nation
La usaron para matar They used it to kill
Al campesino, al campesino To the peasant, to the peasant
Pero hallaron resistencia But they met resistance
Los asesinos, los asesinos The killers, the killers
Esto que digo, señores What I say, gentlemen
No es un ardid, no es un ardid It's not a ruse, it's not a ruse
Fue lo mismo que ocurrió It was the same thing that happened
Allá en Ranquil, allá en Ranquil There in Ranquil, there in Ranquil
La bala se dispara the bullet is fired
Ay, se dispara, ay, se dispara Oh, it goes off, oh, it goes off
La bala se dispara the bullet is fired
Ay, se dispara, se disparó Oh, it's fired, it's fired
Mucho daño le ha hecho al pueblo A lot of damage has been done to the town
La gente rica, la gente rica The rich people, the rich people
Usando el confesionario Using the confessional
De los curitas, de los curitas Of the band-aids, of the band-aids
Ahora la cosa ha cambiado Now the thing has changed
Sin aforismo, sin aforismo No aphorism, no aphorism
Porque la iglesia camina because the church walks
Hacia el socialismo, hacia el socialismo Towards socialism, towards socialism
La bala se dispara the bullet is fired
Ay, se dispara, ay, se dispara Oh, it goes off, oh, it goes off
La bala se dispara the bullet is fired
Ay, se dispara, se disparó Oh, it's fired, it's fired
Si en materia de balazos Yes in terms of bullets
Hay una encuesta, hay una encuesta There's a poll, there's a poll
Los yanquis dan tiro al lado Yankees give shot to the side
A cualquier apuesta, a cualquier apuesta To any bet, to any bet
Estos gringos atrevidos These daring gringos
Con tanta bala, con tanta bala With so many bullets, with so many bullets
En Cuba, Vietnam y Chile In Cuba, Vietnam and Chile
Les sale el tiro por la culata They get shot in the butt
La bala me lo ha contado The bullet has told me
Dice que tiembla, dice que tiembla He says he trembles, he says he trembles
Porque los alborotados because the rowdies
La recomiendan, la recomiendan They recommend it, they recommend it
Con la pólvora del pueblo With the gunpowder of the town
Nace por fin la revolución The revolution is finally born
Siendo el campo de batalla Being the battlefield
La producción, la producción production, production
La bala se dispara the bullet is fired
Ay, se dispara, ay, se dispara Oh, it goes off, oh, it goes off
La bala se dispara the bullet is fired
Ay, se dispara, se disparó Oh, it's fired, it's fired
La bala nos advirtió The bullet warned us
Y no es la primera, no es la primera And it's not the first, it's not the first
Que la vanguardia en la lucha That the vanguard in the fight
Es la clase obrera, es la clase obrera It's the working class, it's the working class
Y acabando con la bala And finishing with the bullet
Ella no es mala, ella no es mala She is not bad, she is not bad
Todo depende de cuándo It all depends on when
Quién la dispara, quién la disparaWho shoot it, who shoot it
