Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Los Principios by Ariel Camacho from Spanish to English.
Cómo no cantar corridos
How can I not sing corridos
Cómo no cantar canciones
How can I not sing songs
Si asen buena la tonada
If they make the tune good
Asen vibrar corazones
They make hearts vibrate
Para cantar lo que canto
To sing what I sing
Creo que me sobran razones
I think I have enough reasons
El hombre pa ser bien visto
A man to be well seen
Lo asen sus buenas acciones
Is made by his good actions
Si un amor es verdadero
If a love is true
Nunca jamás lo traiciones
Never betray it
La amistad se da de frente
Friendship is given face to face
No se anda por los rincones
It doesn't go around the corners
Yo no le temo al camino
I do not fear the road
El camino ya está echo
The road is already made
Conduzco bien la carreta
I drive the cart well
No me quedo voy derecho
I do not stop, I go straight
Para mis amigos traigo
For my friends I bring
Un Corazón en el pecho
A heart in my chest
Quiero que lo sepan todos
I want everyone to know
Soy humilde de nasencia
I am humble by birth
Mi madre es mi fortaleza
My mother is my strength
La familia es la esencia
Family is the essence
Eredada de mi padre
Inherited from my father
Hombre de mucha experiencia
A man of much experience
