Que Lindo Es Ser Rico

How Lovely It Is to Be Rich

Que Lindo Es Ser Rico

You had no future with meNo tenías futuro conmigo
That's what your good family saidEso dijo tu buena familia
Now that I can fill their mouthsHoy que puedo llenarles el pico
They cross themselves when they see me comingSe persignan al verme llegar
Oh, how rich and lovely it is to be richAy, qué rico y qué lindo es ser rico
This thing is starting to appeal to meEsta cosa me empieza a gustar

Proud of being a country boyOrgulloso de ser provinciano
Everything I have, I earned by workingLo que tengo lo hice chambeando
Every furrow you see on my handsCada surco que ves en mis manos
I made them by carrying the plowMe los hice cargando el arado
Oh, how rich, how lovely it is to be richAy, qué rico, qué lindo es ser rico
Every penny I made by sweatingCada peso lo hice sudando

Blessed skyBendito cielo
As long as you keep raining on the cornfieldMientras sigas lloviendo en la milpa
For my people and good friendsPa' mi gente y los buenos amigos
God willing, there won't be a lack of foodDios mediante no falte comida

Blessed skyBendito cielo
As long as I keep having your shelterMientras siga teniendo tu abrigo
Oh, how rich, how lovely it is to be richAy, qué rico, qué lindo es ser rico
This thing is starting to appeal to meEsta cosa me empieza a gustar

Now that I have, I have plenty of relativesHoy que tengo me sobran parientes
When I was poor, no one would even look at meCuando pobre ni quien me pelara
The women who ignored me yesterdayLas mujeres que ayer me ignoraron
Today dream of being married to meHoy se sueñan conmigo casadas
Oh, how rich, how lovely it is to be richAy, qué rico, qué lindo es ser rico
This thing is starting to appeal to meEsta cosa me empieza a gustar

Blessed skyBendito cielo
As long as you keep raining on the cornfieldMientras sigas lloviendo en la milpa
For my people and good friendsPa' mi gente y los buenos amigos
God willing, there won't be a lack of foodDios mediante no falte comida

Blessed skyBendito cielo
As long as I keep having your shelterMientras siga teniendo tu abrigo
Oh, how rich, how lovely it is to be richAy, qué rico, qué lindo es ser rico
This thing is starting to appeal to meEsta cosa me empieza a gustar
