Angel

Cantaba como un ángel
She sang like an angel
A las placas de parloteo
To the chattering plates
Pero tu proxeneta y tu empujador
But your pimp and your pusher
Los dos pensaron que eran geniales
You both thought were great
Bueno, ganaste suficiente dinero
Well, you earned enough money
Para pagar tus cosas
To pay for your stuff
Es genial tener piel marrón
It's great having brown skin
No aparece
It doesn't show up

Cantaste como un ángel
You sang like an angel
A las copas de parloteo
To the chattering cups
Al final del día
At the end of the day
No fuiste lo suficientemente duro
You weren't tough enough
Tu proxeneta y tu empujador
Your pimp and your pusher
Bueno, te golpearon
Well, they beat you up
Bueno, es genial tener piel marrón
Well, It's great having brown skin
No aparece
It doesn't show up

Bueno, tu voz se convirtió en papel de lija
Well, your voice became sand-paper
Papel de lija desgastado
Sand-paper worn
Como tu corazón se rompió
As your heart it was broken
Tu corazón estaba destrozado
Your heart it was torn
Y cuando moriste
And when you died
La policía hizo cola
The police all queued up
Es genial tener piel marrón
It's great having brown skin
No aparece
It doesn't show up
