Ya no sigue la vereda, su mamá siempre le espera despierta pa' cenar
She no longer follows the path, her mom always waits up for her to have dinner
Tuvo más asfalto que jardín, fue más de matar que de morir
He had more asphalt than garden, he was more about killing than dying
Es un majalulo nada más, le enseñaron a ser recto y no fiar
He's just a majalulo, they taught him to be straight and not to trust
No aprendió a vender sin consumir, fue más de matar que de morir
He didn't learn to sell without consuming, he was more about killing than dying
¡Oye! Cuatro majalulos en el coche del abuelo
Hey! Four majalulos in grandpa's car
Le bajaron el chasis hasta que tocó el suelo
They lowered the chassis until it touched the ground
La capota no bajaba pero le cogieron geito
The convertible top wouldn't go down but they got the knack of it
Pintura blanca mate y llantas de alambre Dayton
Matte white paint and Dayton wire wheels
Majalulos en el coche del abuelo
Majalulos in grandpa's car
Conduciendo lentito sólo pa' que agarren celos
Driving real slow just to make them jealous
'Que el otro cachete sea el tuyo, yo no juego'
'Let the other cheek be yours, I don't play'
Me dijo el menor desde el carro cargao de hielo
The youngest told me from the car loaded with ice
Aún está en la ESO pero nunca fue chiquito
He's still in high school but he was never little
Dice que mete cabra pero en verdad mete baifito
He says he causes big trouble but in reality he causes little trouble
Su beta es M y vainas, ligando perico
His vibe is M and stuff, dealing coke
Si cae preso cae preso, da igual ser de diecipico
If he gets arrested he gets arrested, it doesn't matter if he's a teenager
Dale, dale mi niño, dale
Go on, go on my boy, go on
Pa' que los grandes no se enfaden
So the big ones don't get mad
Fijo en el Opel Kadett
Always in the Opel Kadett
Perdiendo los modales, madre sabe
Losing his manners, mom knows
Ya no sigue la vereda, su mamá siempre le espera despierta pa' cenar
She no longer follows the path, her mom always waits up for her to have dinner
Tuvo más asfalto que jardín, fue más de matar que de morir
He had more asphalt than garden, he was more about killing than dying
Es un majalulo nada más, le enseñaron a ser recto y no fiar
He's just a majalulo, they taught him to be straight and not to trust
No aprendió a vender sin consumir, fue más de matar que de morir
He didn't learn to sell without consuming, he was more about killing than dying
Lo que los demás hacen guillaos
What others do showing off
Él lo hace paseando al perro y comiendo helao
He does it walking the dog and eating ice cream
No teme a naide, para él mover es como su baile
He fears nobody, for him moving is like his dance
Si no vas a tempo te caen detrás
If you're not on time they come after you
Ahora lo llevan en un maletín, ya no hay bultos en su calcetín
Now they carry it in a briefcase, there are no longer lumps in his sock
Se pasea desapercibido, rudebwoy pero con la cara de Tintín
He walks around unnoticed, rudebwoy but with Tintin's face
Su horario no tiene fin, ya todo lo que toca es bisnes
His schedule has no end, now everything he touches is business
Si sale se va a partir, no vive esperando el finde
If he goes out he's going to go hard, he doesn't live waiting for the weekend
Le entra money por montón pero no guarda un cuarto
He gets tons of money but doesn't save a dime
No vacila de lujos se lo juega calla'o
He doesn't show off luxuries, he plays it quietly
Él ya está acostumbrao pero no sabe que va a durar
He's already used to it but doesn't know it will last
Dale, dale mi niño dale
Go on, go on my boy, go on
Pa' que los grandes no se enfaden
So the big ones don't get mad
Fijo en el Opel Kadett
Always in the Opel Kadett
Perdiendo los modales, madre sabe
Losing his manners, mom knows
Ya no sigue la vereda, su mamá siempre le espera despierta pa' cenar
She no longer follows the path, her mom always waits up for her to have dinner
Tuvo más asfalto que jardín, fue más de matar que de morir
He had more asphalt than garden, he was more about killing than dying
Es un majalulo nada más, le enseñaron a ser recto y no fiar
He's just a majalulo, they taught him to be straight and not to trust
No aprendió a vender sin consumir, fue más de matar que de morir
He didn't learn to sell without consuming, he was more about killing than dying
'El camellero distingue tres períodos
'The camel herder distinguishes three periods
A las crías, desde que nacen hasta el destete, las llama 'guelfo'
The young, from birth until weaning, he calls 'guelfo'
Superado este ciclo reciben el nombre de 'majalulo'
Once this cycle is overcome they receive the name 'majalulo'
Y logran ser 'camellos' cuando están en condiciones de procrear'
And they manage to be 'camels' when they are able to procreate'
Señores, la rotonda ya está libre, pueden pasar
Gentlemen, the roundabout is clear, you can pass
La rotonda de la entrada a la pista ya está libre señores
The roundabout at the entrance to the track is clear gentlemen
Ya no hay guardia, pueden pasar
There's no longer a guard, you can pass

Did you like this lyrics translation?
majalulo — adolescent camel / young hustler
Majalulo is a fascinating word with a double meaning that makes it incredibly enticing. Literally, it refers to a young camel that has been weaned but is not yet ready to procreate, as explained in the lyrics.
However, in the context of the song, it's used as slang to describe a young person, likely an adolescent, who is already involved in street life, hustling, and making money. It captures the essence of someone who is still young but already navigating a complex world, making it a unique and memorable word from the song.
