Well, I guess with this one I’m officially “Back in the Saddle”; the last release of the album!
I decided to do something different, circle back to my home town #SanJuan, #PuertoRIco and sprinkle a bit of Spanish. If you grew up in the San Juan area, you probably know that Old San Juan is the ultimate place to hang out and have a good time. The history-rich cobblestone streets and sites of the 1500s mixed with the modern pubs, bars, restaurants, and clubs make this antique town one of the best places to enjoy time with friends. Add the countless nights I enjoyed (and still to this day) there with family close friends and you can picture how special this place is to me. By the way, “Joda” in this context simply means party / good times.
Jodiendo en San Juan
LA JODA EN SAN JUAN
By JR Gutierrez
Walking the cobblestones hanging out with my friends
Le joda es en San Juan, y vamo alla a joder
So many memories and stories that we need to share, (and if you’ve been there you’ll appreciate you will relate)
If you are looking for a joda San Juan is DA place
It gets a little crazy with the Hangy Boys and Girls,
I can’t wait to get home and get together with my friends, (do a reunion again and so the weekend begins)
De la placita, (nos vamos para el Batey), pa la Tortuga (y a Los Hijos de Borinquen)
Termina en San Sebastian (y Dos Hermanos despues), dale Karate a ese hamburger y volvemos otra vez
Walking the cobblestones hanging out with my friends
Living up Old San Juan, we feel alive again
Walking the cobblestones hanging out with my friends
Le joda es en San Juan, y vamo alla otra vez
As you walk up you taste you smell you touch those good old friendship memories
No matter how many times we’ve been there we’ll do it again, (we’ll get to do this again, and again and again)
I get a parking ticket on my 69 green Beetle
It never mattered cause I got to see my homeboys again, (and on the Saturday night we get to close the weekend)
De Dona Fela, (subimos al Patio de Sam), y ya en la Sanse, (Medalla es lo que hay)
Mira ya vamos (que se hizo de manana), dale pal Churri mata el hambre y le caemos otra vez
Walking the cobblestones hanging out with my friends
Living up Old San Juan, we feel alive again
Walking the cobblestones hanging out with my friends
Le joda es en San Juan, y vamo alla otra vez
Walking the cobblestones, y vamo alla otra a joder
Si yo no hubiera nacido, en la tierra en que naci
Yo estuviera arrepentido de no haber nacido aqui
Walking the cobblestones hanging out with my friends
Le joda es en San Juan, y vamo alla a joder
