When you're down, no one gets close to you

When you go up, envy begins

I remember that my parents told me one day

People are very curious, son, listen to this advice

They like to look good, but never better than them

Now that I'm going up I see the reason they had

I didn't think that envy would come even from the family

Also one or another who said he was my friend

It's a matter of fate and I also tell them something

I won't give you that pleasure of seeing me fucked up again

Today that they saw the fair, many acquaintances come out

Telling people they remember my beginnings

But they forget when a strike asked them

They always denied it to me and I never forget that

Now he can go, falsehood is not received

And only pure Afinarte Music, old men

And pure of Tamaulipas

Ay, ay, yay

Now they even judge me for being a presumptuous

Because I shake hands with the ungrateful

It's not that he's presumptuous, it's the blows of fate

The ones that made me recognize well the friends

When I was a dog they didn't give up on me

I always bring with me those who helped me

Also to my family, my parents, my siblings

I get feeling when I remember those nights

From when we were children we were very poor

We slept cold, but that was always without hunger

I'm already retiring, I'm heading for my little ranch

In order to be great, you first have to be a boy

Today I have many things that I never thought I would have

But I've deserved it, because I'm a good person

To become great, the person must be humble

There it was, old men

Pure tune up furious

Greetings

Tamaulipas Cigar

"Pa' Llegar A Ser Grande" (To Become Big) is a rags-to-success corrido with a chip on its shoulder. It opens with a rule his parents taught him: "Cuando estás abajo nadie se te arrima" (When you are down, nobody comes near you), and once you start climbing, the envy starts. People "les gusta verte bien, más nunca mejor que ellos" (like to see you doing well, but never better than them). Now that he has money, old acquaintances brag that they remember his beginnings, though they refused him "un paro" (a favor, Mexican slang) when he needed one.

The last verse softens. He remembers childhood nights when "dormíamos con frío, pero eso siempre sin hambre" (we slept cold, but never hungry), and lands on the moral in the title: "Pa' llegar a ser grande, humilde debe ser la persona" (to become big, a person has to be humble). Handy slang to note: feria is Mexican for money, de perro means having a dog's life, and viejones in the spoken shout-outs is a friendly "guys".
