Below, I translated the lyrics of the song El Retrato by Aldo Trujillo from Spanish to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Doy la vuelta un rato
I turn around for a while
Por las calles de mi barrio
Through the streets of my neighborhood
Y me recuerdan
And they remind me
Aquellas fechas
Those dates
Cuando andabamos todos en bola
When we were all in a ball
Con los fierros en cajuela
With the irons in the trunk
El tiempo vuela
Time flies
Para llegar donde estoy
To get where I am
Disciplinado soy
Disciplined I am
Me propuse chambear
I set out to chambear
Y mi vida cambiar
And my life change
Recuerdos del ayer
Memories of yesterday
Gente que vi caer
People I saw fall
También varios crecer
Also several grow
Y uno me tocó ser
And one of me had to be
Y porque no todo es como lo pintan, no se vayan con la pinta
And because not everything is as they paint it, do not leave with the pint
Y puro Aldo Trujillo, viejo
And pure Aldo Trujillo, old
Un Cartier brillante
A brilliant Cartier
Cachas de oro con diamantes
Gold handles with diamonds
De bien cuidarme
Good care of myself
El destino lo cargo en un hilo
Destiny loads it in a thread
Y en mi boca el humo vuela
And in my mouth the smoke flies
Historias pa' contar
Stories to tell
La ley nos fue a llegar
The law was going to come to us
Dinero al por mayor
Wholesale money
Tuve yo que pagar
I had to pay
Buen power traigo yo
Good power I bring
Alinéense o voy a
Align or I'll go to
Las armas detonar
Detonate weapons
Aquí se van a topar
Here they are going to run into
