Un Mentado Ariel

A Mentioned Ariel

Un Mentado Ariel

I know very well that they still remember the MentionedSé muy bien que aún recuerdan al Mentado
That stubborn guy who leftEse plebe atrabancado que se fue
The one who lost it happy as to return the timeEl que la perdió contento como regresar el tiempo
How not to miss you, buddy ArielComo no hecharle de menos compa Ariel

This life is only lived onceEsta vida solo se vive un vez
That's why you have to enjoy it to the fullestPor eso hay que disfrutarla al cien por ciento
Every time there was a chance, the throat got wetCada vez que había chanza se mojaba la garganta
And he did it even in his last momentsY lo hizo hasta en sus últimos momentos

When you have the desire, you have to face the bullCuando hay ganas tienes que salirle al toro
And with his guitar on his shoulderY con su guitarra en el hombro
He decided to pursue his dreamDecidió buscar su sueño

Some guys also followed his leadUnos Plebes también le siguen el rollo
Support was not going to be lackingNo iba a faltar el apoyo
And we turned up the stereoY le subimos al estéreo

They talked about a mentioned Ariel CamachoPlaticaban de un mentado Ariel Camacho
The good stuff was startingEmpezaba lo mero bueno

That dream was already a whole adventureAquel sueño ya era toda una aventura
The boy from Angostura was going upEl muchacho de Angostura iba pa' arriba
After taking off his suit, he put on his sandalsDespués de quitarse el traje se ponía los huaraches
At the ranch, they nicknamed him La TuyiaEn el rancho lo apodaron La Tuyia

It was simple from beginning to endFue sencillo de principio hasta el final
And that's something his parents instilled in himY eso es algo que le inculcaron sus padres
He greeted everyone, he was my buddy and I boast about itSaludaba a todo mundo fue mi compa y lo presumo
His humility made him great among the greatLa humildad lo hacía grande entre los grandes

A mother with sadness looks to the skyUna madre con tristeza mira al cielo
And that old man with a hatY ese viejón de sombrero
Puts his hand on his shoulderPone su mano en el hombro

The Mentioned one morning in FebruaryEl Mentado una mañana de febrero
Decided to start firstDecidió arrancar primero
And now he is not with usY ahora no está con nosotros

Today we have to hit play on his memoriesHoy nos queda darle play a sus recuerdos
That's life and there's no way around itAsí es la vida y ni modo

You held on, you gave it your allTe aferraste le hechaste todas las ganas
Suddenly fame arrivedDe pronto llego la fama
And you got involved with your peopleY Te Metiste entre tu gente

As usual, wherever you go, El Karma is heardPa' variar en donde quiera se oye El Karma
Of course, you are missedPor supuesto se te extraña
And keep that in mindY eso tenlo bien presente

That phrase is in the mind of your peopleEsa frase está en la mente de tu raza
