Feeding of the OT: Songs with Spanish Need translations -Help a gringo out

Spanglish has few rules and many variations and the guys from cypress hills are of Cuban descent in a Mexican environment and totally baked with the loser leaf so you have to try to get the message they are trying to send, that sometimes they don’ even know themselves because of the loser leaf effects.

Anyhow this is what the Spanish portion of the song is talking about:

CYPRESS HILL – LOCOS LYRICS

Spanish portion:

The song has two conversations/dialogues/stories going on about the heists of cannabis dispensaries the one that Sick Jacken is telling is the one in Spanish and starts with Jack talking to his accomplice to get ready for the first heist:

Orale loco
Orale loco, Ponte las pilas wey e?
Aquí se va a hacer el jale ahorita de volada
Estos vatos tienen un chingo de feria
Listo? ponte la máscara, vámonos...

Get ready man
Get ready man, (put batteries on) be alert Ok?
This job takes place now and fast
These guys have a lot of cash
Ready? Put the sky mask on, let’s go

Then is the conversation between Jack and the victim; the dispensary employee:

Amonos, dámelo, caete con ese paquetón
Yo no quiero usar el cuete no
Es muy baqueton
El bote no me asusta a mi
Es como vacación
Pero yo te asusto a ti
Miados en el pantalón
5, 4, 3 y 2 y 1
Yo quiero la hierba y el nudo
Es lo que le queda a este cuetazo de budo
Pierde puro verde o pierdes el culo
Tu di

Let’s go, give it to me, give up the package
I don’t want to use the gun/firearm, no
Is too much for this situation.
Going to prison doesn’t scare me
Is like a vacation
But I scare you
You pissed your pants
5, 4, 3 y 2 y 1
I want the grass/cannabis and the money
It is all is left, this gun/firearm
Lose the money or lose your ass/life
You tell me.

Of course the employee is going to give up the merchandise and the money rather than lose his life.

Then we is talking with his accomplice again about going to the next dispensary:

Ahí esta la otra que te decía loco
Estos vatos tienen más feria
Aquí vamos a chingar, ¿listo?
Vámonos pues...

This I the other place I told you about
These guys have even more cash
Here we are going to Fuck them, ready?
Let’s go now...

The song repeats one verse at the end as a chorus.

Again I don’t know why people glorify criminals but it is what it is.

Let me know if you have any questions or comments or opinions or...

I believe at my University we have the best Chicano Studies professors in the Nation, probably the World.
