The Pearl

[René]
Hey, this is dedicated to all the neighborhoods of Puerto Rico
Trujillo! Dedicated to the Pearl District
Pocho! Tell Johana to make me some really tough rice and beans
Greetings to Josian, we'll catch them coming down
And you, what are you looking at?

[René]
I have had attitude since I was five years old
My mom made it up for me with a mask and a scolding
Since I was little, I had gray and brown hair
I am the black sheep of the whole flock
And I grew little by little
Jumping from roof to roof, knocking down coconuts
And although I almost killed myself and almost got hit by a blow
They never saw me crying or snotting
Always perfumed and well-groomed
To find myself a girlfriend with a nice last name
Larita, my first kiss of love
The witch rain married sun

[Ruben]
Down there in the hole in the gap
Flowers are born by bunch
Colorful little house with an open window
Beach neighbors door to door
Here I have everything, I don't lack anything
I have the night that serves as a sheet

[René]
I have the best landscapes of the sky
I have a little fridge full of beer with ice

A rainbow with a canoe flavor
Beautiful people surrounded by water
The deceased painted on the wall with spray paint
And those who remain playing basketball
A couple of gringos who spoil my landscape
They've been taking photos since landing
The police who throw themselves without shame
Breaking my house to collect the fortnight
My mother and even my great-grandmother were born here
This is my neighborhood, I am free like Mandela
Be careful with the old school, don't let it catch you
He's going to hit you with flip-flops and broomsticks
So don't be a jerk to me
Because I come with a worker's appetite
To eat anyone who comes to steal what's mine
I am the Napoleon of the hamlet
Hey! I dedicate this to you
To those who work for a low salary
To feed their chicks
I love my neighborhood like uncle
He loves star apple
I don't fight for paved ground
Not even by square meters
Not even for a golden dream
I fight for a well-scented landscape
And for a good plate of steak with onions
For my mother's smile that is worth a million
I fight for my grandmother rocking in her armchair
I fight for some charcoal skewers
And how beautiful the pearl looks from an airplane
Hey, tell him!

Beach neighbors door to door

That laugh in the pearl, I heard it in the stream
And from pisto to callao and wherever there are children
I believe in neighborhoods with mothers who gave the same reasons
And in the end they died without having a vacation
As my grandmother used to say: “That was the deck
At home, the poor, even the fetus, work
For that eternal neighborhood, also universal
And whoever messes with my neighborhood, I dislike

(The night serves as my sheet)
I see the lights of the pearl from Panama
(The night serves as my sheet)
Shining in Morse code and they invite me over there
(The night serves as my sheet)
A road made of stars, a traffic light made of the moon
(The night serves as my sheet)
I left at seven thirty and I'm arriving at one
(Uo, uo, uo, the night serves as my sheet)
The good man does not fear, he does not fear the darkness
(Uo, uo, uo, the night serves as my sheet)
Baby, rub me with Vicks Vaporub like Mom did
(Uo, uo, uo, the night serves as my sheet)
Even when I'm asleep, I don't forget my identity
(Uo, uo, uo, the night serves as my sheet)
There! And I'm not missing anything else

Down there in the hollow in the gap flowers are born in bunches
Colorful little house with an open window
Beach neighbors door to door
Here I have everything, I don't lack anything
I have the night that serves as a sheet

That wall in the neighborhood, and this is something to amaze you
Fifty years later, it still has my name
Here the foolish idiot is not forgiven
Here your last name and your money are worthless
We respect the character of the people we hang out with
We were born from many mothers, but here there is only one brother
And that sea in front of my house, I swear it's true
Like the one with the pearl, even though I'm in Panama
And on the horizon I see a traveling cloud
Drawing the face of the great majuelo rivera
Celebrate this meeting, buddy! What do you think?
This combination of Rubencito and Calle 13?

(The night serves as my sheet)
But that doesn't solve the white suspect
(Uo, uo, uo, the night serves as my sheet)
Darkness does not absolve the lying verb
(Uo, uo, uo, the night serves as my sheet)
If you got lost brother find yourself
(Uo, uo, uo, the night serves as my sheet)
Come here to Panama and contribute to tourism
(Uo, uo, uo, the night serves as my sheet)
Thank you so much resident, thank you so much visitor
(Uo, uo, uo, the night serves as my sheet)
Villa 21 in Argentina, keeps moving forward
(Uo, uo, uo, the night serves as my sheet)
Bolivia, the letter goes to El Alto to see if it passes the filter
(Uo, uo, uo, the night serves as my sheet)
Forget the task, the minister withdraws
