El Chava

The Kid

El Chava

They all call me the kidEl chava me dicen todos
All my close friendsTodos mis grandes amigos
Because I always respondPor que siempre respondi
If they ever needed meSi se les habia ofrecido
They couldn't save meNo pudieron rescatarme
There was a misunderstandingHubo un mal entendido

I was born back in ColomaFui nacido aya en coloma
And I lived in GuadalajaraY vivia en guadalajara
Day and night workingDia y noche trabajando
Even through the early hoursHasta por las madrugadas
Now it's my turn to loseAhora me toco perder
Don't be sad, my crewNo se agüite mi plebada

Don't get into troubleNo te metas en problemas
That's what my dad taught meEso me enseño mi padre
From the sky, I watch over youDesde el cielo yo los cuido
Shoutout to my momSaludos para mi madre
To my wife and my kidA mi esposa y a mi hijo
Brothers and familyHermanos y familiares

I had some really good friendsTenia muy buenos amigos
Working on my teamTrabajando en mi equipo
With pesos, we made poundsCon pesos haciamos libras
A pound equals some greenLibra igual a verdecitos
That's why I treated myselfPor eso me di mis gustos
Thanks to those good folksGracias aquellos güeritos

Bring me some Buchanan'sTraiganme puras buchanans
'Cause I want to reminiscePorque quiero recordar
But make sure it's the eighteenPero que sean del dieciocho
And cousin, let's toastY pariente ah tocar
To those good old timesAquellos bonitos tiempos
I'll never forget themNunca los voy a olvidar

I'm heading back to my little ranchYa me voy a mi ranchito
To visit a graveA una tumba vicitar
I'm off to TamazulaYa me voy a tamazula
Durango saw me bornDurango me vio nacer
I'm saying goodbye, I'm the kidMe despido soy el chava
And I'll always be that wayY por siempre lo sere
