Lyrics
Mi viejo era muy pobre
y no tenia pa´ darme de comer.
Dejé segundo grado
y tuve que salir a trabajar.
Sí… A veces yo hago changas
Y otras soy peón de albañil,
Pues no me dan trabajo
si no soy perito mercantil.
La sociedad dice
que soy un marginado más
la misma que me usa
para poder escalar.
El Marginal me llaman, El Marginal,
El Marginal me llaman, El Marginal.
Sí… Mi viejo era muy pobre
y no tenia pa´ darme de comer.
Dejé segundo grado
y tuve que salir a trabajar.
No… No es fácil si no hay armas,
Armas para luchar.
La vida me dio una espada
Con la punta sin afilar.
El Marginal me llaman, El Marginal,
El Marginal me llaman, El Marginal.
Lyrics translation
My old man was very poor
and he didn't have to feed me.
I left second grade
and I had to go out to work.
Yeah ... sometimes I make changas
And others I'm a mason's pawn,
Well, they don't give me a job.
if I'm not a merchant expert.
Society says
that I'm an outcast more
the same one that uses me
to be able to climb.
The Marginal call me, the Marginal,
The Marginal call me, the Marginal.
Yes ... my old man was very poor
and he didn't have to feed me.
I left second grade
and I had to go out to work.
No... it's not easy if there are no weapons,
Weapons to fight.
Life gave me a sword
With the unsharp tip.
The Marginal call me, the Marginal,
The Marginal call me, the Marginal.
