Lyrics
ЎPara mi gente,
gente alegre, honrada y trabajadora!
Yo nac con la fortuna
de no ser acaudalado
mi ranchito y lo que tengo
mi trabajo me ha costado
duermo tranquilo mis noches
porque a nadie le he robado.
No hay que ser tan ambicioso
con que alcance aunque no sobre,
es verdad, me gusta el oro
pero no desprecio el cobre
lo que es mЎs hasta valoro
las ventajas de ser pobre.
Cuando no tienes de sobra
no hay amor interesado
ni problemas con hacienda
ni hay un pobre secuestrado
siempre doy gracias al cielo
de ser tan afortunado
ЎY a bailar mis cuates,
se acabaron las vacaciones!
Ayer parando la oreja,
se los cuento aqu en confianza,
escuch© a un gјey que se queja
que la plata no le alcanza
y en lugar de chambear duro
se anda rascando la panza.
No hay que ser tan ambicioso
mucho menos conformista
cuando yo no tena carro
me so±aba en la autopista
y eso que andaba en burrito
en mis tiempos de agrarista.
Cuando no tienes de sobra
no hay amor interesado
ni problemas con hacienda
ni hay un pobre secuestrado
siempre doy gracias al cielo
de ser tan afortunado.
ЎY creo en la Divina Providencia
Si se±or!
Lyrics translation
And for my people,
cheerful, honest and hardworking people!
I am born with Fortune
of not being wealthy
my little ranch and what I have
my job has cost me
I sleep peacefully my nights
because I haven't robbed anyone.
Don't be so ambitious
with that reach though not over,
it's true, I like gold
but I don't despise copper.
what is mYs up to value
the perks of being poor.
When you don't have enough
no love interested
no problems with the Treasury
nor is there a poor kidnapped
I always give thanks to heaven
of being so lucky
YY to dance my cuates,
the holidays are over!
Yesterday stopping the ear,
I tell you here in confidence,
listen to a gjey complaining
that the money is not enough
and instead of pounding hard
he's scratching his belly.
Don't be so ambitious
much less conformist
when I don't have a car
I sleep on the freeway
and that thing that was in burrito
in my time as an agrarian.
When you don't have enough
no love interested
no problems with the Treasury
nor is there a poor kidnapped
I always give thanks to heaven
of being so lucky.
And I believe in Divine Providence
And they are!
