Even if the world is upside down

I'll keep a smile

And all because I know very well that things

They're going to change one day, for the better

And for now I wait on the bench

But I never neglect Doña Blanca

And for now I try to entertain myself

It's bad to be impatient and time is a very good friend

For now I take it calmly

My laughter does not end even though there is no reason

How different you look from the outside

I thought school was going to be more exhausting

But I made friends

Quiet step by step I managed to get ahead

(And this is a small detail for my people

From the tebo of his friend Alfredo Olivas)

As long as the sand is still brown

And the sea waits for me until I leave

There is no rush either a reason to rush

You have to stay calm and endure

And for now I'm warming up

In case I leave the bench and return to the courts

And for now I forge a good cigar

Among friends I share it and kill it at my leisure

For now I see the picture of my blood

I know well that my god is great and I ask him

See them again! I don't regret it and I beat my chest

And thanks to this there has been bread on my table

But what I really regret is provoking mine

So much headache

And for now I have hope

That the scales are on my side

And for now I'm still enthusiastic

And I will take out the caste I have faith in my graduate

I'm going back even though the world is turned upside down

sacaré la casta — I will show my mettle / I will prove my worth

Sacar la casta is an idiomatic expression that literally translates to "to take out the caste," but it means "to show one's mettle" or "to prove one's worth." It implies demonstrating courage, resilience, and the inherent qualities of one's lineage or character when faced with a challenge.

In the song, Alfredo Olivas sings, "Y sacaré la casta tengo fe en mi licenciado" (And I will show my mettle, I have faith in my lawyer). This phrase highlights his determination and confidence in overcoming obstacles, relying on his own strength and the support of others.

Alfredo Olivas's "Y Por Lo Pronto" is all about keeping a positive outlook and staying patient, even when life throws you curveballs. He sings, "Aunque el mundo se encuentre al revés / Yo mantendré una sonrisa" [Even if the world is upside down / I will keep a smile], because he believes things will get better. For now, he's just waiting it out, saying, "Y por lo pronto yo espero en la banca" [And for now I wait on the bench], but he's not idle. He's making the most of his time, staying entertained, and recognizing that "el tiempo es muy buen amigo" [time is a very good friend].

It's a really personal song where Alfredo reflects on his past, mentioning how he made friends and got ahead in school, which he thought would be harder. He also touches on some heavy stuff, like missing his family ("Veo la foto de mi sangre / Sé bien que mi dios es grande y le pido / ¡Volver a verlos!" [I see the photo of my blood / I know my God is great and I ask him / To see them again!]) and the pain he's caused them. But through it all, he holds onto hope, believing that "la balanza esté de mi lado" [the scales are on my side] and that he'll return, no matter what. It's a powerful message of resilience and faith in the future.
