Mundo Ahí Te Quedas

World, You Stay There

Mundo Ahí Te Quedas

I was born there in the hot landYo nací allá por tierra caliente
Among hills of the green mountainsEntre cerros de la sierra verde
I know poverty from childhoodLa pobreza conozco de niño
Where I am, I never forget my peopleDonde estoy nunca olvido a mi gente
Today, blessed be God, workingHoy bendito sea Dios trabajando
In my pocket, there are no missing billsEn mi bolsa no faltan billetes

Working in the United StatesTrabajando en Estados Unidos
I have achieved what I dreamed of beforeHe logrado lo que antes soñaba
Those of you who work dailyUstedes que trabajan a diario
Know well the cost of making it throughSaben bien lo que cuesta librarla
Today, I don't have extra moneyHoy no tengo dinero de sobra
But very few things are missing for mePero muy pocas cosas me faltan

With the money I bring in my pocketCon dinero que traigo en mi bolsa
And a Barbie to pass the timeY una barbie pa' matar el tiempo
I don't like to be exaggeratedNo me gusta ser exagerado
But don't think it's a tale eitherPero tampoco piensen que es cuento
If someone says I'm a big spenderSi alguien dice que soy mal gastado
It's my money, and I'm happy like thisEs mi lana y así ando contento

I'm going to enjoy the good lifeVoy a disfrutar de la gran vida
And spend as much as neededY a gastar hasta donde se ofrezca
I'm not one of those who save it allNo soy de esos que lo van guardando
And complain about everything dailyY que a diario de todo se quejan
When you die, you don't take anythingAl morirse no se llevan nada
What's left for those who haven't workedAl que no ha trabajado le queda

If money is not abundant, it's okaySi el dinero no sobra no le hace
I'm content with what I haveMe conformo que vaya alcanzando
I don't give life problemsA la vida no le doy problemas
As long as I can keep workingMientras pueda seguir trabajando
And if you're waiting for money from aboveY si esperas dinero de lo alto
You'll keep pinching yourselfTe la vas a seguir pellizcando

When I die, I want them to take meCuando muera quiero que me lleven
To the land where I was bornA la tierra donde yo naciera
And without tears, bury meY sin llanto me den sepultura
If possible, in my plotSi es posible que sea en mi parcela
I'm aware of a saying that goesSoy consiente de un dicho que dice
Enjoy it now because the world stays thereGózala ahora que mundo ahí te quedas
