THE ROOF IS ON FIRE Lyrics (English Translation) – Trueno

The roof, the roof is on fire
Yes, sir
It is the TR1
Hey-yo, man, you know what I’m sayin’?

I walk with my ñeri on my back, rap sounds, at the party I’m Tupac
Walking through the neighborhood loose facts
Ah, did you want rap? I arrived, I have the entire neighborhood behind me
Nice to meet you, let me introduce myself (Your dad)

Mommy, I polish them with a track
With a dark past, but I think about the future (No cap)
Real quality music
Gangsta party, cool mom, cumbia cheta doesn’t sound here
It sounds T-R-U-E-N-O, and you know it very well
Cool mom doesn’t even think about it because she knows who with
I would be ashamed not to shine without gold chain
You don’t shine without gold chain

Burning the greens
Buenos Aires is celebrating, it never sleeps
Hands in the air, fu*k it up, baby
Rap for the turros and also for the ladies
I shine without gold chain

Burning the greens
Buenos Aires is celebrating, it never sleeps
Hands in the air, fu*k it up, baby
Rap for the turros and also for the ladies

The roof, the roof is on fire
Oh, no, no, no, baby, I’m high
No lie, we are live
Thunder, da-da-da-pai
Baby, I’m high

No lie, we are live
Thunder, da-da-da-pai
‘Toy rulay, ‘toy rulay
‘Toy rulay
What the fu*k?
Thunder, da-da-da-pai

I walk with my ñeri on my back
Baby, I’m high
No lie, we are live
Real rap, cool mom

Let’s show this guy how it’s done in Argentina
Thunder, da-da-da-pai
I walk with my ñeri on my back
We didn’t get into the middle of the sea to show him how the hell to surf the tide, you know what I’m saying?

From the damn neighborhood of La Boca
You already know who I am, Trueno, pai
The same ‘in the battle, the same as you know’, my love
Argentina is in the house, nothing happens
