Yo!
Tego Calderón!
Don Omar!
"Los Bandoleros"!

Aunque digan que soy
Un bandolero donde voy
Le doy gracias a Dios
Por hoy estar donde estoy
Y vo'a seguir con mi tumbao'
Y con mis ojos colorao'
Con mis gatos activao
Ustedes to' me lo han dao

Oye, a mi me importa poco lo que se diga de mi
William Landrón y yo somos socios de la avenida
Soy bandolero como el Mister Politiquero
Que se robo to' el dinero y lo postularon de nuevo
(Como si na'!) Si fuera Calde' o Don Omar
Nos daban conspiración, la llave bota'
Y yo no soy ejemplo, mi respeto a Tempo
Su único delito fue tener talento
Que tú quieres que yo escriba, guasimillas, mentiras
Se que el DEA. me tiene en la mira (Yo se!)
Yo estoy claro-claro, mis impuestos pago
Critican si trabajo, critican si soy vago
Y hago el primero, y me tratan de segunda
Así nenas les encanta como el negro zumba
Yo soy tu cuco, tengo el trabuco
Conocido mundialmente como el maluco

Aunque digan que soy
Un bandolero donde voy
Le doy gracias a Dios
Por hoy estar donde estoy
Y vo'a seguir con mi tumbao'
Y con mis ojos colorao'
Con mis gatos activao
Ustedes to' me lo han dao

Mira, diablo, que chereo
Me cogi un caso y apuntaron el dedo
Ya no era el rey del perreo
Ahora era tecato y otro posible reo
Que me metieran preso to's dijeron
Mal los veo, yo no les creo
A sus sistema de reformación ingrato
A mi me arrestaron dos puercos por pasar el rato
Y yo aquí pichando, aguantando, callando
Si nadie es perfecto, de que me están juzgando
De hacer con mi vida lo que cualquiera puede
Vivir como quiere, tener sus placeres
Mi gente, yo no soy distinto a ustedes
Y hoy en día soy cantante porque ustedes quieren
Me dieron la primera plana
"Cogen Rapero Con Marijuana, Pistolas, y Cosas Raras"
Solo quedare en su mente clara
Cuando crezcan donde yo crecí
Se críen donde me criaba
Diablo, me duele tanta baba
Duele tanta baba...
El no juzgarme se les agradece
El beneficio de la duda cualquiera merece
(Tío, el no juzgarnos se les agradece!)
(El beneficio de la duda cualquiera merece!)

Aunque digan que soy
Un bandolero donde voy
Le doy gracias a Dios
Por hoy estar donde estoy
Y vo'a seguir con mi tumbao'
Y con mis ojos colorao'
Con mis gatos activao
Ustedes to' me lo han dao

Oye, a la gente le encanta sacar pellejo
Unos por profesión, otros por bochincheros
Dale a la sin-hueso, so chicharronero
Haciendo dinero con el sufrimiento ajeno
Yo no soy un santo pero estoy en clave
Estoy pagando to' mis maldades
Y estoy aquí tirando pa' alante
Como quiera que lo pongas hago menos mal que antes
A ti lo que te jode es que te mataste
Trataste, te superaste, pero te olvidaste
Que el Papáupa esta mirándonos de arriba
El único que juzga, el único que no discrimina
Y yo no visto Armani ni Von Dutch
De calle y callejón, el bandido Calderón
El no juzgarnos se les agradece
El beneficio de la duda cualquiera merece

Aunque digan que soy
Un bandolero donde voy
Le doy gracias a Dios
Por hoy estar donde estoy
Y vo'a seguir con mi tumbao'
Y con mis ojos colorao'
Con mis gatos activao
Ustedes to' me lo han dao

Y aunque digan que soy
Un bandolero donde voy
Le doy gracias a Dios
Por hoy estar donde estoy
Y vo'a seguir con mi tumbao'
Y con mis ojos colorao'
Con mis gatos activao
Ustedes to' me lo han dao

Although they say that i am
a criminal(i think) where i go
i give thanks to god
and for me to be where i am today
and i will continue with my style
with my bloodshot eyes
with my soldiers ready
you have given me all i have

Listen its not really important to me what people say
William Landron(Don omar) and me(tego calderon) are partners on the street
i am a criminal like a politician
that they stole all the money and did it again
(as If Na') if it was calderon or don omar
They gave us conspiracy, the key bounces
and i am not an example ,my respect to TEMPO
his only crime was to have talent
that you want me to write,cheat(maybe)and lie
the dea has me in their sight(I Know)
i am clear clear,my taxes are payed
they critize me if i work they critize me if i am vague
i did the first and they bother me about the second(maybe)
these girls love the way The Negro(Don Omar)Sings
i am crazy i have the problems
knownworldwide as The maluco

Although they say that i am
a criminal(i think) where i go
i give thanks to god
and for me to be where i am today
and i will continue with my style
with my bloodshot eyes
with my soldiers ready
you have given me all i have

Look Devil so proud
i caught a case and they pointed a finger
i was no longer the king of the perreo(Doggystyle the dance for reggaeton)
and now i was charged and now another possible criminal
they labeled me guilty by what they said
i see the evil but don't believe it
to their internal system reformation
two pigs arrested me to watse time
and i am thinking waiting and being quiet
if nobody is perfect why are they judging me
i make my life with what anyone has
to live as they want to have his pleasures
my people i am not different from you
and now a days i sing because you want me to
they catch rappers with weed,guns and strange things
i will stay guilty in their mind
when they grew up where i grew up
be raised where i was raised
devil all this bad talk hurts me
so much bad talk
not judging me is thanked
anyone deserved the benefit of the doubt
uncle(Mainland US) not judging us would be welcomed.

a criminal(i think) where i go

listen although they like to hide
some for teaching some for fighters
give it to them with out blood/bone so they take it (maybe)
making money with the other peoples suffering
i am not a saint but i am straight
i am now paying for all my bad deeds
and i i am putting this here to get ahead
like they think i am in bad hands such as before
to you whoever you f*cked is why you killed yourself
you tried, you overcame yourself,but you forgot
that the children of puerto rico are looking up at us
the only one that judges that only one that doesn't discriminate against us
i am not seen in armani or Von Dutch
of street and alley the bandit calderon
not judging us would be welcomed
the benefit of the doubt anyone deserves

I tried My Best some stuff i guessed on some stuff i just didn't know spanish is my second language so some stuff might be messed up like i said i tried my best to tranlate this from spanish to english so please be kind and help me learn if this is wrong

Thanks so much! i always wanted to know what this song was about lol

like i said i tried my best spanish is a second language for me and i am pretty sure i got most of it corret but some i think is wrong could a slang expert make sure it is correct.

very good translation just a lil corrections that i kno of

que tu quiere que yo escriba guasimilla, mentira = qhat do u want me 2 write jokes, lies?

critican si trabajo, critican si soy vago = the criticize me if im workin, the criticize me if im "idle" (thats the exact translation but u get the idea)

yo hago en primera y me tratan de segunda = i did it first class y they treated me like second

Wow..good job guys that was a crazy long song to translate.

Vago=bum/slacker/lazy
Y con mis ojos colorao' =blood shot eyes

(no one will translate my song though... )

Los mate, Si señor
Y si vuelo a nacer
Yo los vuelvo a matar!

Los mateeeeeeeee..
Llego, el que todo el mundo esperaba
El underdog, Tego calderón
otra esquina otra sason
Sanarara reggaeton

[4Veces]
Los mateee!
Pero no fue mala fe
Hice lo que tenia que hacer

[Hey!]Dame un golpe
Pa guayarte rompe el monte
Mucho fronte
Y después no aguanta el golpe
Nativo! Dicen que eres bugalu
En la cruz yo te tengo por boku
Guayacol con un cigarro mentol
Hazme el favor
Devuelve el encendedor
Mala maña conmigo no va esa vaina
Naven y bailan
Pa romperte la cotraina
Esta lucio, ta’ como que panecillo
Ta’ mordido, con mi flor
De mal parido, en la lata
Parate de la butaca
Dime guapa
pa sambuirte la ñata

[4 Veces]
Los mateee!
Pero fue mala fe
Hice lo que tenia que hacer

Tu g-trins
Resbala mas que un patin
Con mi swing
Quédate de magazín
Apunte pero no disparen
Corillage, arrabales
Extranjeros y locales
Yo soy el que le enseña
Como que se hace [ta’ bien]
Esto es paso paso
Mi hija vamonos por fase
Sin Priscila dale con Carmona
No venga con sueño
A su calola [no no]
Lo que yo tengo pa’ ti
Son uvitas sin pepitas
Lírica mortal maciza
Ella es de “h”
Volvió el que la hace
Que las asusta, pero las complace

[4 Veces]
Los mateee!
Pero no fue mala fe
Hice lo que tenia que hacer

Los mateee!
Yo no toy pa’ eso
Pero que voy hacer
Si todos esperan por mi
Mostró volvió Grandpa
Que fue!!!!
Los mateee!
Los mateee!
Los mateee!

yes it took me a while to translate but i am glad i did it seems that people like this song

oo yeah thanks cuz i luv this song but i jus didnt no wat they was sayin.

"pero te olvidaste
Que el Papáupa esta mirándonos de arriba
El único que juzga, el único que no discrimina"

was translated as:

"you forgot
that the children of puerto rico are looking up at us
the only one that judges that only one that doesn't discriminate against us"

Correction: Papáupa = God, root word papa

God is looking at us from above (mirándonos de arriba) the only one that judges the only one who doesn't discriminate.

Good job, best one i've ever seen of these lyrics.

Heres some more from that last verse... im starting bckwards fromthe bottom up Anyone disagree or can ad antyhing plz weigh in.

Lyrics: Oye, a la gente le encanta sacar pellejo

Listen, the public loves to (literally) remove skin, which in this context means to slur or tear down.

Lyrics: Unos por profesión, otros por bochincheros

Some professionally, as a job, and others for gossip

Lyrics: Dale a la sin-hueso

La sin hueso = the tongue So they are giving a go at the tongue which is an euphemism for "they gossip".


So basically, the topic of the verse is people the media, and haters talking badly about him. He’s not a saint but better than before and pressing onward. For all the talk, only god can judge, and judge fairly; he is looking down upon us. Hes not a sellout to be seen in fancy clothing like Armani he;s from the streets and the alleys and keeping it real.

Caught a case and they put the blame on me
Now no longer the king of perreo
Now I’m a fiend, drug-user, (tecato) another possible offender
they all said I got locked up
I view them badly, I don’t believe
in their disagreeable system of reform…

Me cogi un caso y apuntaron el dedo
Ya no era el rey del perreo
Ahora era tecato y otro posible reo
Que me metieran preso to's dijeron
Mal los veo, yo no les creo
A sus sistema de reformación ingrato

No major differences, except maybe the "tecato" part. Im most familiar with it refering to heroin addicts in particular but I think it's more general here.

Soy bandolero como el Mister Politiquero
Que se robo to' el dinero y lo postularon de nuevo
(Como si na'!) Si fuera Calde' o Don Omar
Nos daban conspiración, la llave bota'

I''m bandit like Mr. Politician
That robbed all the money, and was re-elected
(As if nothing!) If it were Calde or Don Omar
They'd give us conspiracy and throw away the key

Yo soy tu cuco,
I'm your boogey man, monster, ect

Tengo el trabuco
I've got the Trabuco Trabuco, i think here used as a noun means Gun. Its an obscure reference to an oldtime pirate musket, a predecessor to the shotgun (escopeta). Being carribean, and a bandolero (aka bandit, aka pirate) it seems to fit in well with Tego's theme. Trabuco = Blunderbuss

I love this song and for the longest I've wondered what all of it meant.

This is super awesome
