Era la virgen más hermosa que existió en aquel lugar

Pa' quitarse el sombrero

Ahí esta la onda

No la compres ni te enganches luego

Pero ten cuidado con las sortijas de tus dedos

Pasan a la larga cola

De los sin familias indigentes

Emigrantes simplemente que desde África

En pateras compran su muerte de repente

Esto es para todos esos chulos que me escuchan

Con quien tu vienes de donde eres

Tu lo sabes, tu lo sabes
You know it, you know it
Tu lo sabes, Reina de la Calle
You know it, Queen of the Street
