Bacilos La olla translation
A estrellas y a reyes les gusta el perico
Stars and kings like the parakeet
Y toda la culpa es de un colombiano rico
And all the fault is of a rich Colombian
nos tratan cual bestias en los aeropuertos
they treat us like beasts at airports
como si no fueran nuestros tantos muertos
as if they were not our many dead
las leyes son leyes p'al que las escribe
the laws are laws for those who write them
por que ellos escogen bien lo que prohiben
because they choose well what they forbid
pero en callejones, palcos y balcones
but in alleys, boxes and balconies
la ley se hace humo, rayas y colores
the law becomes smoke, stripes and colors
A algunos les gusta temprano en la mañana
Some like it early in the morning
Y a otros les gusta gozarcela en la cama
And others like to enjoy it in bed
Y otros nos toca nacer en la mitad
And others we have to be born in the middle
de la batalla
of the battle
Nacimos en la o o o o oolla
Nacimos en la o o o o oolla
A estrellas y a reyes les gusta el perico
Stars and kings like the parakeet
Pero ellos son los heroes del mundo rico
But they are the heroes of the rich world
Por eso en las aduanas me toca a mi pagar
That's why at customs it's my turn to pay
Por su delito
For his crime
A quien le gusta vivir, con esta paranoia me toca a mi
Who likes to live, with this paranoia it's my turn
mi parte de la historia porqué nací, nacimos en la olla
my part of the story why I was born, we were born in the pot
La máquina sonó, el tipo me miró

El perro de la aduana tiene cara de cabron
The custom dog has the face of a bastard
Y yo solo quiero que me dejen llegar a mi casa
And I just want to let me get to my house
Nacimos en la o o o o o oolla
We were born in the oooooo pot
A quien le gusta vivir con esta paranoia me toca a mi
Who likes to live, with this paranoia it's my turn
Mi parte de la historia porque nací, nacimos en la olla...

stars and piliticians enjoy cocaine

and of course its my people the one to blame
and of course its my people the one to blame
they treat us like animals in every airport
they treat us like animals in every airport
as if were not us putting the muertos
as if they were not us putting the dead
some people like it early in the morning
some people like it early in the morning
some other like it when the bass is pumping
some other like it when the bass is pumping
and some of us are born
and some of us are born
in the middle of the bombing
in the middle of the bombing
