A Mi Gente de Acá

To My People Here

A Mi Gente de Acá

To that people who are my townA esa gente que es mi pueblo
I dedicate my songLes dedico mi canción
It's the way I canEs la forma que yo puedo
Vent my heartDesahogar el corazón
And it's the people I love the mostY es la gente que más quiero
From that same place, I comeDe esa misma, vengo yo

That people who are my townEsa gente que es mi pueblo
Have pride and dignityTiene orgullo y dignidad
That even though the land is dry and wornQue aunque seca y gasta el suelo
Never stops fightingNunca deja de luchar
Because it knows how to soarPorque sabe alzar el vuelo
When it's at its lowestCuando más caída está

Let no one offend you, let no one insult youQue nadie te ofenda, que nadie te insulte
They must respect youTe tienen que respetar
If they don't value you, let them not criticize youSi no te valoran, que no te critiquen
If you generate wealth, you deserve glorySi genera' riquezas, mereces la gloria
They don't know how to give it to youNo te la saben dar

That people who are my townEsa gente que es mi pueblo
Only seeks a futureSolo busca un porvenir
With courage and daringCon valor y atrevimiento
Where there's work, they're happyDonde hay jale, está feliz
How hard it is for them to make a livingCómo le cuesta el sustento
Ignored in their land, misunderstood hereIgnorada en su tierra, incomprendida aquí

Let no one offend you, let no one insult youQue nadie te ofenda, que nadie te insulte
They must respect youTe tienen que respetar
If they don't value you, let them not criticize youSi no te valoran, que no te critiquen
If you generate wealth, you deserve glorySi genera' riquezas, mereces la gloria
They don't know how to give it to youNo te la saben dar
