En El Camino

On the Road

En El Camino

On the road I found myselfEn el camino me encontré
That bastard who ignored meAquel cabrón que me ignoro
Talking to peoplePlaticándole a la gente
How he met meComo me conoció
When I was a kid, just messing aroundCuando niño por jodido
They denied me a favorMe negaron un favor
Now they request meAhora me solicitan
As a guest of honorComo invitado de honor

One thing is being niceUna cosa es ser buenazo
And another is being a foolY otra es ser un pendejo
That's why the list is shortPor eso es corta la lista
Which I navigateCuál yo navego
Of false friendshipsDe las falsas amistades
Like lightning, I move awayComo rayo yo me alejo
I don't like falsehoodsNo me gustan falsedades
I walk on the levelYo camino en lo parejo

The friends I haveLos amigos que yo tengo
I've always kept themDesde siempre los conservo
They are the real ones giving adviceSon los reales del consejo
Let me prove it to youDeja les compruebo
When I didn't earn muchCuando no ganaba mucho
There were few with pleasureFueron pocos los con gusto
Those who always supported meLos que siempre me apoyaron
And helped me outY me sacaron de apuros

Honestly, I thankLa neta le doy las gracias
Those who helped meA los quienes me ayudaron
I remember gathering penniesRecuerdo juntar centavos
Just to have a tacoSolo para echarme un taco
I struggled a lotBatallé bastantemente
And I never erase the pastY jamás borro el pasado
It's the reason for my beingEs la razón de mi ser
And what I have achievedY de lo que he progresado

There were days I sangHubo días que cante
And nights I criedY noches que yo llore
When I was a saplingCuando era arbólelo
It was where I jumpedFue donde yo brinqué
It was the hunger of my childrenEra el hambre de mis hijos
I had to overcomeLo tenía que vencer
And give them a good futureY darles un buen futuro
For their better behaviorPa' su mejor proceder

I did it as best as I couldA como pude lo hice
And look how I succeededY miren como logré
But I changed thingsPero ya cambié la cosa
Look where I gotMiren a dónde llegué
Now that I sing live to youAhora que les canto en vivo
I enjoy the applauseYo disfruto los aplausos
From all my people and my best friendsDe toda mi gente y mis mejores amigos
