Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Lo Caro No Es Pa' Tarifa by Regulo Caro from Spanish to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Hoy es cuando Chile verde
Today is when Green Chile
Le has de dar sabor al caldo
You have to flavor the broth
Mi familia humildemente
my family humbly
Tienen apellido Caro
They have the last name Caro
Llavudos son los toretes
Llavudos are the bullfighters
Entre los mas fuertes
among the strongest
De todo el ganado
Of all the cattle
Ya les aguante ser clavo
I already put up with being a nail
Ya eso hora de ser martillo
It's time to be a hammer
Y DEA me salio caro
And DEA was expensive
28 años vale un gringo
28 years is worth a gringo
Media vida me arrancaron
Half a life they took from me
Ni un día mas les pago
Not one more day I pay them
Ahí tuvo el castigo
There he had the punishment
Nomas por dejar el cerco
Nomas for leaving the fence
Inconforme al extranjero
dissatisfied abroad
Pa' los chillidos de puerco
For the pig squeals
Un nido de carnicero
a butcher's nest
Sigan cobrándome el muerto
keep charging me dead
Que pa mis respetos
what for my respects
No valía mi tiempo
Wasn't worth my time
Ando entre siglas por ahí
I'm between acronyms out there
Detrás de una sola cifra
Behind a single number
Ya no me dejo agarrar
I no longer let myself be caught
Lo caro no es pa tarifa
What is expensive is not for a fee
Mis ramas crecieron ya
my branches have grown
Y entre la amistad
and between friendship
Todos me cobijan
everyone shelters me
Mi vida monitoreada
my monitored life
Con los ojos siempre encima
With eyes always on top
Me toco la perra brava
I play the brava bitch
Hasta el de casa mordía
Even the one at home bit
La piedra es calculada
The stone is calculated
Según la camada
According to the litter
Del sapo que mira
Of the toad that looks
Ese tiempo que perdí
that time i lost
Fue la mitad de mi vida
It was half of my life
De pelo blanco salí
I came out of white hair
Por pensar descoloría
for thinking discoloration
Pero también aprendí
But I also learned
A sobrevivir entre la mala vida
To survive among the bad life
Como duele recordar
how it hurts to remember
Perder mi hermana fue duro
losing my sister was hard
Muchas cosas se te van
many things are gone
Viviendo entre 4 muros
living between 4 walls
Pero sacudí las sal
But I shook the salt
Supe conservar el numero 1
I knew how to keep number 1
