El de Tamazula

The one from Tamazula

El de Tamazula

I start the story with much respectEmpiezo la historia con mucho respeto
I write these notesEscribo estas notas
For a sincere manPa un hombre sincero

Who offers his hand to those who need itQue brinda su mano a aquel que lo ocupa
He never backs down and is rarely scaredEl nunca se raja y muy poco se asusta
He likes good things and works hardLe gusta lo bueno y trabajar bastante

To deserve it, you have to make an effortPara merecer ahí que esforzarse
They show him respect because he is respectfulLe brindan respeto porque es respetoso
They offer him their hand because he is friendlyLe brindan su mano porque es amistoso

It's hard when there's nothing to offerSe sufre cuando no hay nada que ofrecer
You fight hard to be able to growBatallas bastante pa poder crecer
You enjoy greatly reaching the topDisfrutas en grande llegando a la sima

And you endure and lead a peaceful lifeY duras y llevas la vida tranquila
He likes extreme things and fixed carsLe gusta lo extremo y carros arreglado
He loves racing, he's very daringCorrerlos le encanta es muy aventado

He's a patient person, just don't push itEs gente paciente nomas no se pasen
Because after a while, he might get angryPues de tanto y tanto puede que se enfade
And don't you agree, friends, put effort into it, friendsY apoco no compas échenle ganas compas
We're hanging in the balanceQue andamos como hueso

At the parties, you hear corridosEn las pisteadas se escuchan corridos
That of the genius and also the gansitoEse del genio y también el gansito
They are the ones who ask and sing with meSon los que pide y canta con migo

And my friend never gets upsetY nunca se altera mi compa es amigo
His blood descends from TamazulaDe tamazula desciende su sangre
He is very helpful, attentive, and kindEs muy servicial, atento y amable

He has plenty of women because he knows how to treat themMujeres le sobran pues sabe tratarlas
He takes his chances like a deck of cardsSe rifa su suerte como una baraja
I say goodbye for now because we continue hereMe despido luego porque aquí seguimos

We are involved if there are no commitmentsAndamos entrados si no hay compromisos
That's why I go to parties listening to the corridoPor eso ando fiestas escuchando el corrido
I don't give nicknames, names, or last namesNi apodo, ni nombre, ni apellido les digo
