La Moneda de La Vida

From Coloma he leftDesde coloma salio
He was only a few years oldContaba con pocos años
His childhood was very poorMuy pobre fue su niñes
He had many siblingsEran muchos sus hermanos
His father barely madeSu padre apenas sacaba
What he could from the cattleLo qe podia del ganado

He got tired of povertySe canso de la pobresa
He threw his luck to the windSu suerte al aire avento
The coin of lifeLa moneda de la vida
The good side it showedLa cara buena le dio
He picked up a professionAgarro una profesion
And earned a lot of moneyY mucho dinero gano

He began to take his first stepsEmpezo a ser sus pininos
In the famous borderEn la famosa frontera
He started making crystalEmpezo haciendo cristal
Cooking in his own wayCosinava a su manera
After he did betterDespues qe le fue mas bien
He made his own potsHacia sus propias cubetas

He came back to his landSe vino para su tierra
From there he went to CuliacanDe ahi se fue pa culiacan
Just as he dreamed as a childA como soño de niño
To help his parentsAyudar a sus papas
And his beloved siblingsY a sus hermanos qeridos
He achieved his luckSu suerte logro alcanzar

Ranches, many propertiesRanchos muchas propiedades
He indulges himself in a grand waySe da lujos a lo grande
New cars at the doorCarros del año a la puerta
Before he could ever imagineAntes qe iva a imaginarse
He gives everything for his childrenPor sus hijos lo da todo
He doesn't mind ruining himselfA el no le importa arruinarce

If I don't give a name, it's the sameSi no doy nombre es la misma
He knows I'm singing to himEl sabe qe a el se lo canto
And we avoid problemsY nos ahorramos problemas
You see, there's a lot of chaosYa ven qe ahi mucho relajo
Doña Angelina is his motherDoña angelina es su madre
And his father is a great manY su padre un señorazo
