Cantando En Espanol Lyrics

Despues de 235
Canciones, los liricos se valuan mas
Y no tengo ningunos para esta

El Hefe canta melodia triste
O canta amor de la corazon
Haz como que hable español

Ojala que la mayoria
De nuestros aficionados
No entiendan nada que canto
Para los otros, chinga su madre, guey

I'm fluent in Spanish and a lot of this song doesn't mean a lot to me... The grammar is pretty awful. Does Hefe actually speak Spanish or is he just of Mexican parents in the States? If he speaks Spanish and the horrible Spanish in this song is on purpose then it's pretty fucking funny...

Anywho, I'll offer a rough translation.

I'm interpreting the first stanza as "After 235 songs, lyrics are more valued and I have none for this one [song]". I'm assuming that "liricos" is supposed to mean "lyrics", otherwise it doesn't make a lot of sense.

The second stanza is probably "El Hefe sings a sad melody, or he sings love from the heart." The last line I'm not sure about, but it could mean "pretend he speaks Spanish".

The last stanza is the best part. It says "I hope the majority of our fans don't understand any of what I'm singing. To the others [i.e. those who understand the lyrics] "Chinga su madre, guey". Now, I speak European Spanish and I've only been to Mexico once, but I know that this is a pretty rude expression in Mexican Spanish. It translates roughly as "Fuck your mother, dude". Which is cool, because it's a big "Fuck you" to everybody who "gets" the song. Very punk.

@tronak u got it the right way

translation anyone? something about 235 songs, el hefe singing songs aobut love and such, and fucking your mom...?

Yeah, you're right, dude. The line "Haz como que hable español" would definitely mean something like "pretends he speaks spanish" And In Mexico "Chinga tu madre" isn't as offensive as it used to be... "Fuck your mother" is too literal, though, I'd translate it like "Fuck you" instead... 'cause that's what people mean when they say that.

Despues de 235(after 235) Canciones, los liricos se valuan mas(songs the... dudes who write lyrics value themselves more ) Y no tengo ningunos para esta(and i have nothing for this one)

El Hefe canta melodia triste(the chief sings a sad melody) O canta amor de la corazon(or he sings love from the heart) Haz como que hable español(pretend i speak spanish)

Ojala que la mayoria(hopefully the majority) De nuestros aficionados(of our fans) No entiendan nada que canto(dont understand nothing of what im singing) Para los otros, chinga su madre, guey (for the others... fuck your mother , guuuueyyy) im not really sure about the chinga tu madre part ... since im not mexican , but well here it is, i hope its useful:)

El Hefe is actually the nickname of the singer, but thanks for the translation!
