The Cousin

El Primo

They call me the cousin and I'm from GuerreroMe dicen el primo y soy de guerrero
From a small ranch stuck to the mountainsDe un rancho pequeño pegado a la sierra

They call me the cousin and I'm from GuerreroMe dicen el primo y soy de guerrero
From a small ranch stuck to the mountainsDe un rancho pequeño pegado a la sierra
Being a hot-head is my prideSer un calientado ese mi orgullo
And at 14 I crossed the borderY al los 14 cruce la frontera

Since I was very young, I worked very hardDesde muy pequeño trabajé muy duro
I was very poor, I'll never forget itYo era muy pobre nunca me olvidarlo
I suffered a thousand actions and many slightsSufrí mil acciones y muchos desprecios
Today, thanks to God, things have changedHoy gracias a Dios los cosas cambiaron

I don't have friends because I don't buy themYo no tengo amigos porque no les compro
And from the heart, I help my peopleY de corazón ayudó a mi gente
If there's an interested party, I don't turn awayHay un interesado yo no hago para un lado
Because to rob you, they come at you differentlyPorque pa robarte te den diferente

I don't have extra, but I don't lackNo tengo de sobra pero no me falta
Working hard for what I haveTrabajando duro lo de lo que tengo
I thank my dear motherA mi madrecita yo le doy las gracias
Because she takes care of me while being so far awayPorque ella me cuida estando tan lejos

I have my family, my wife, and my childrenTengo mi familia, mi esposa, y mis hijos
Who are the most precious in this lifeQue hoy en está vida son lo más agrado
I continue to be humble and very respectfulSigo siendo humilde y muy respetuoso
Because that's what my parents taught mePorque eso mis padres a mí me enseñaron

I bid you farewell, take this adviceYo ya me despidió tomen este consejo
For all those who have a pesoPa todos aquellos que tienen un peso
Respect the poor so you'll be respectedRespeten el pobre pa que te respeten
Life takes turns, never forget thatLa vida da vueltas nunca olviden eso
