Angel Del Villar

From the cold river where it beginsDel río frío donde inicia
He walked quickly through the streetsPor las calles andaba de prisa
And sometimes barefoot, he had nothing elseY aveces descalso no tenia pa' mas
Poor neighborhood full of hopeBarrio pobre y de esperanza
Where he lived in his childhoodDonde vivio alla en su infancia
But the world turns, he had to changePero el mundo gira tenia que cambiar

There was a school of the streetsHubo escuela de la calle
A thousand pieces of advice my mother gave meMil consejos que me dio mi madre
Also, with the old man, I learned to workTambién con el viejo aprendí a trabajar
Today life is differentHoy la vida es diferente
A firm path forwardFirme camino hacia alfrente
Luck has changed and the sun shines brighterLa suerte a cambiado y el sol brilla mas

With the fingers of one handCon los dedos de la mano
I count my friendsMis amigos los tengo contados
In good times and bad, they will never failEn buenas y malas nunca an de fallar
Pepé and Juan are always readyEl pepé y el juan al tiro
And I wanted the 'cruzesillo'Y yo queria el cruzesillo
And Joe is with me, he's like my brotherY el joe va conmigo es como mi carnal

What they live, what they're worthLo que viven lo que valen
How they move in the hustleComo se moviliza en el jale
And measure their words, never speaking too muchY mide sus palabras nunca habla de mas
Removing obstacles that hinderQuita obstáculos que estorban
And work is done diligentlyY el trabajo es a la zorda
I don't need to show off, just to misleadNo ocupo lucirme se bien despistar

Good things and bad things tooCosas buenas también malas
Are the blows that destiny gives youSon los golpes que te da el destino
There's no remedy, no turning backNo existe remedio ya no hay vuelta atrás
A strong pain in my lifeUn dolor fuerte en mi vida
The Lord bids farewellEl señor da despedida
I have faith that one day I'll see him againTengo fe de que un día lo vuelvo a mirar

My princesses are my eyesMis princesas son mis ojos
I fulfill my whimsLo que quiero cumplo mis antojos
It's always my way and no more needs to be saidSiempre es a mi modo y no se diga mas
I stand firm with my two sonsFirme estoy con mis dos hijos
Andrew and the little angelEl andrew y el angelito
For them, there's no doubt, I'll always fightPor ellos no hay duda siempre eh de luchar

My delirium is the ladiesMi delirio son las damas
And with a glass of good 'buchanas'Y con un vaso de un buen buchanas
Often in the ranch, I like to drinkSeguido en el rancho me gusta pistear
Serious when requiredSerio cuando se requiere
But a thousand with my dutiesPero al mil con mis deberes
And I'll respect those who respect meY al que es respeto lo eh de respetar

Today we move forwardPor hoy vamos adelante
Because life passes in an instantPues la vida se va en un instante
And the beautiful lady doesn't warn when she arrivesY la bella señora no avisa al llegar
I've learned to live through everythingYa aprendí a vivir de todo
Rich, poor, and in my own wayRico pobre y a mi modo
Angel by inheritance, I am from the VillarAngel por herencia yo soy del villar
