Singer: El Fantasma & Los Dos Carnales
He revisado el pasado de lo mal que me he portado
He sido cabrón, ni se diga vago
Muchas han tratado domar este potro
Mas, no me he dejado
I’ve reviewed the past of how badly I have behaved
I’ve been a bastard, can’t even say slacker
Many have tried to tame this foal
But, I have not allowed myself to
Al viejo le he aprendido que mientras esté vivo
Hay que celebrar, no importa el motivo
Por eso de gusto brindo por las damas
Y por los amigos
From the old man I’ve learnt that while he’s still alive
We have to celebrate, the motive doesn’t matter
That’s why I gladly toast to the women
And to friends
Así como don Gabino, nunca he entendido razones
He sido el villano de mil corazones
Vives pa’ morirte y al perder la vida
No hay devoluciones
And like Mr Gabino, I never understood reasons
I’ve been the villain of thousand hearts
You live to die and lose your life
There’s no take-backs
¡Ay, ay, ay! y échele compadre, su
Pero, ¿qué tanto es tantito?
Una toluca de vino
Ay, ay, ay! And give him godfather, yours
But, how much is that much?
One Toluca of wine
Pero, ¿qué tanto es tantito? Una toluca de vino
Un sincero abrazo para mis amigos
Cuando no hay dinero y eres requerido
Sé agradecido
But, how much is that much? One Toluca of wine
A sincere hug for my friends
When there’s no money and you’re needed
Be grateful
No tengo necesidades de mendigar amistades
Vale el corazón, no las cantidades
De arriba o de abajo, yo nunca me rajo
Esa no es mi clase
I don’t feel the need to beg for friendships
What matter is the heart, not quantities
From top or from bottom, I never crack
That’s not my class
Ahora que aquí estoy parado
Se me vienen pensamientos
De los que se fueron y que me quisieron
Hoy me tomo un trago y miro pa’l cielo
Llevo su recuerdo
Now that I’ve stopped here
Thoughts come to me
Of those ones who left and who loved me
Today I have a drink and look up to the sky
I carry their memory
