Drinking alone, I started to think

That good things take time to arrive

That if it's in your mind, it can be achieved

Firm with what His hand has given me

The brake and reverse got f*cked up a while ago

I don't need to be lucky because I have a deal with God

I'm living what I once dreamed

I've already gotten used to living the good life

And if they see me spending greens

It's because the work is moving

I doubt they can get me off the ship

I'm the captain of my own life

Nobody has given me anything

I also thought about throwing in the towel

Everything that happens has its reason

And there's nothing left but to be grateful

The brake and reverse got f*cked up a while ago

I don't need to be lucky because I have a deal with God

I'm living what I once dreamed

I've already gotten used to living the good life

And if they see me spending greens

It's because the work is moving

I doubt they can get me off the ship

I'm the captain of my own life

Nobody has given me anything

I also thought about throwing in the towel

Everything that happens has its reason

And there's nothing left but to be grateful

The lyrics say, "El freno y la reversa se chingaron de hace rato" (The brake and reverse broke down a while ago). This colorful expression implies that the singer is moving forward without looking back, emphasizing a determined and unstoppable attitude towards life and success. It's a word that adds a lot of character and local flavor to the lyrics.

Get ready to feel inspired by LOS DOS DE TAMAULIPAS and their song "Gastando Verdes"! This track is all about celebrating hard work and the sweet rewards that come with it. The artist reflects on how "las cosas buenas tardan en llegar" [good things take time to arrive] but emphasizes that if you can dream it, you can achieve it.

He's living proof, stating, "Estoy viviendo lo que un día soñé" [I am living what I once dreamed]. The lyrics are a blunt declaration of self-made success: "Nadie me ha regalado nada" [Nobody has given me anything]. So, if you see him "gastando verdes" [spending greens], it's simply because "el trabajo se mueve" [the work is moving].
