Los Que Porto Lyrics in English Alfredo Olivas

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Los Que Porto by Alfredo Olivas from Spanish to English.
I've always relied on what I carry and I can't stand
That they say no while they still hold the stone in their hand
And it's not in vain that I urge them
That with me they play it safe
Whoever wants to be an eagle, let him take flight
And whoever is a worm, let him crawl on the ground
But let him not scream if I step on him
Just like the leader from Morelos said
If they've already dirtied it, they're gonna clean it
Or unless they want to deal with
My SCAR, I know what I have and what I don't
And if there's something I don't have, that's fear
There's bad memories and pleasant ones from my childhood
I come from where the orange falls
And on my farms the best roosters are born
Mark the line so you know what I'm talking about
Here's another phrase from the leader mentioned before
"I'd rather die standing than live kneeling"
I've proved that more than enough
To be exact, on a day that was a holiday
I don't think it over much if I have to decide
If it wasn't clear, I'll repeat it again for you
I know what I have and what I don't
And if there's something I don't have, that's fear

SONG MEANING

Alfredo Olivas brings swagger and steel to “Los Que Porto,” crafting an anthem of fearless self-reliance. He lays it out from the start: I only trust what I carry—my principles, my grit, maybe even a sidearm—and I have zero patience for hypocrites who pretend to be clean while still clutching the stone. He dares listeners to choose their place in the food chain: if you want to be an eagle, fly high; if you are a worm, stay low and do not squeal when someone steps on you. Borrowing revolutionary fire from José María Morelos, Olivas warns that whoever makes a mess had better clean it, because he certainly will.

The second verse digs into proud roots: a rough-and-tumble childhood, lineage from “where the oranges fall,” and ranches that raise champion roosters. Olivas repeats the Morelos rallying cry—“I would rather die standing than live kneeling”—to prove his point. He knows exactly what he possesses and what he lacks, and the one thing missing is fear. The song becomes a bold corrido that celebrates authenticity, heritage, and the unbreakable will to defend them both.
