Los Que Porto Lyrics in English by Alfredo Olivas

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Los Que Porto by Alfredo Olivas from Spanish to English.
Siempre me he atenido a los que porto y no soporto
I've always relied on what I carry and I can't stand
Que digan que no cuando aún traen la piedra en la mano
That they say no while they still hold the stone in their hand
Y no en vano es que los exhorto
And it's not in vain that I urge them
A que conmigo se la lleven por lo sano
That with me they play it safe
El que quiera ser águila que emprenda su vuelo
Whoever wants to be an eagle, let him take flight
Y aquel que es gusano, que se arrastre por el suelo
And whoever is a worm, let him crawl on the ground
Pero que no grite si lo piso
But let him not scream if I step on him
Tal como lo dijo el caudillo de Morelos
Just like the leader from Morelos said
Si ya la ensuciaron, la van a limpiar
If they've already dirtied it, they're gonna clean it
O a menos que quieran entenderse
Or unless they want to deal with
Con mi escarse qué tengo y no tengo
My SCAR, I know what I have and what I don't
Y si algo no tengo eso es miedo
And if there's something I don't have, that's fear
Hay recuerdos malos y otros gratos de mi infancia
There's bad memories and pleasant ones from my childhood
Traigo descendencia de donde cae la naranja
I come from where the orange falls
Y en mis granjas nacen los mejores gallos
And on my farms the best roosters are born
Échenle raya pa que sepan de lo que hablo
Mark the line so you know what I'm talking about
Ahi les va otra frase del caudillo antes citado
Here's another phrase from the leader mentioned before
'Prefiero morir de pie a vivir arrodillado'
"I'd rather die standing than live kneeling"
Lo he dejado más que comprobado
I've proved that more than enough
Pa ser exactos en un día que era feriado
To be exact, on a day that was a holiday
No la pienso mucho si hay que decidir
I don't think it over much if I have to decide
Si no quedó claro, se los vuelvo a repetir
If it wasn't clear, I'll repeat it again for you
Sé qué tengo y no tengo
I know what I have and what I don't
Y si algo no tengo eso es miedo
And if there's something I don't have, that's fear

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.
