Fortunate

Joan Sebastian

Afortunado

Yo nací con la fortuna
De no ser acaudalado
Mi ranchito y lo que tengo
Mi trabajo me ha costado
Duermo tranquilo mis noches
Porque a nadie le he robado

No hay que ser tan ambicioso
Con que alcance, aunque no sobre
Es verdad, me gusta el oro
Pero no desprecio el cobre
Lo que es más, hasta valoro
Las ventajas de ser pobre

Cuando no tienes de sobra
No hay amor interesado
Ni problemas con hacienda
Ni hay un pobre secuestrado
Siempre doy gracias al cielo
De ser tan afortunado

Ayer, parando la oreja
Se los cuento aquí en confianza
Escuché a un wey que se queja
Que la plata no le alcanza
Y en lugar de chambear duro
Se anda rascando la panza

No hay que ser tan ambicioso
Muchos menos conformista
Cuando yo no tenía carro
Me soñaba en la autopista
Y eso que andaba en burrito
En mis tiempos de agrarista

Cuando no tienes de sobra
No hay amor interesado
Ni problemas con hacienda
Ni hay un pobre secuestrado
Siempre doy gracias al cielo
De ser tan afortunado

Fortunate

I was born with fortune
If you are not wealthy
My little ranch and what I have
My work has cost me
I sleep peacefully at night
Because I have not stolen from anyone

There is no need to be so ambitious
With what scope, although not over
It's true, I like gold
But I don't despise copper
What's more, I even value
The advantages of being poor

When you don't have anything to spare
There is no interested love
No problems with the treasury
There is not even a poor kidnapped person
I always thank heaven
To be so lucky

Yesterday, listening carefully
I tell you here in confidence
I heard a guy complaining
That the money is not enough
And instead of working hard
He is scratching his belly

There is no need to be so ambitious
Much less conformist
When I didn't have a car
I was dreaming on the highway
And that he was riding a donkey
In my days as an agrarian

When you don't have anything to spare
There is no interested love
No problems with the treasury
There is not even a poor kidnapped person
I always thank heaven
To be so lucky
