La Salsa del Tiburón Lyrics English Translation by Rvfv
(They say the shark is coming
The fish all hide
And the alley shakes
They say he sings a song
And if someone answers
Lead straight to the heart
Ay shark… Ay shark… Ay shark…
Ay shark… Ay shark… Ay shark… Ay shark…)
Since he was a kid, hustling in the traffic
Rolling with his crew, they call them the galactics
Dribbling without a ball, but packing real ones
At home, they taught values; on the street, it’s all guts
And he sells it to you, then he steals it back
Plus he carries his nine, just in case someone cracks
The dude’s scared of the dealers in his zone
A snitch gave him up, left him in a coma alone
His dad was a gangster, one of the most feared
By the time he turned 14, his path was already cleared
They called him the shark, the one who moved the weight
Always slicked up with that widow’s trumpet, looking great
Kids looked up to him like he was Pablo Escobar
And he loved making money from things that go too far
Everybody respected him like the godfather
Stacking cash while eating langostinos with his daughter
Humble but he grew up
Influenced by the hood where he was raised
When the sirens blared and the chaos came
His poor uncle always got the blame
Cops hunted him but never found his trace
He owned every corner in his place
And if someone asked, nobody knew a thing
‘Cause if they talked, they knew what the next move would bring
More… more mean
Than a toothache sting
That rooster had his spurs sharpened to a point
The dude never stepped foot in school, no need to join
But he learned math from dealing on the street
One day in the middle of a shootout heat
The cops grabbed him, straight to the freezer, defeat
‘Cause he got too cocky, they caught him, what a pity
Take care of his mom, his girl, and his granny in the city
They took him to the shadows, locked him away
They caught the shark, left him to decay
Inside, he had enemies he made on the outside
One afternoon, a shank left him where he lied
You won’t be happier just ’cause you got more cash
Come down here and feel what we stash
He only knew how to invest from when he had zero
He lost it all to robberies, women, and dinero
You won’t be happier just ’cause you got more cash
Come down here and feel what we stash
He only knew how to invest from when he had zero
He lost it all to robberies, women, and dinero
Ay shark…
He went down the wrong road
Ay shark…
He was a stray bullet that exploded
Ay shark…
He died on his feet, never on his knees
Swam so far to die at the shore, oh please
Ay shark…
Ay shark… Ay shark…
Ay shark… Ay shark…
Ay shark…
