Las Águilas Andan Solas Lyrics in English Beto Quintanilla
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Las Águilas Andan Solas by Beto Quintanilla from Spanish to English.
Verse 1
Siempre me verán solito
You'll always see me alone
Como anda el águila real
Like the golden eagle roams
Que se sube a las alturas
That soars to the heights
Para divisar el plan
To survey the plan
Me gusta ver para abajo
I like to look down
Los pajarracos volar
The lesser birds fly
Yo también fui pajarito
I was also a little bird
Antes con ellos volaba
I used to fly with them before
Para subir las alturas
To climb the heights
Siempre me sobraron alas
I always had wings to spare
Como solo me estorbaban
Since they only got in my way
La parte de su parvada
That whole flock of theirs
Chorus 1
Las águilas andan solas
Eagles roam alone
Las urracas en parvada
Magpies in a flock
¿Pa' qué les digo quien soy?
Why tell you who I am?
Mi nombre no dice nada
My name says nothing
Soy el negrito de Brownsville
I'm the dark one from Brownsville
De aquella clica mentada
From that notorious crew
Verse 2
Antes tenía mucha gente
Before, I had a lot of people
Según pa' que me cuidaran
Supposedly to watch my back
Siempre me dejaron solo
They always left me alone
Nomás broncas me llevaban
They only brought me trouble
Nomás manchaban el palo
They just gave me a bad name
Conmigo se escudaban
They used me as a shield
A los malagradecidos
To the ungrateful ones
Que de mí se mantenían
Who lived off of me
Los que mordieron la mano
The ones who bit the hand
Que les daba su comida
That gave them their food
Que piensan que con un kilo
Who think that with a kilo
Podrán llegar hasta arriba
They can get to the top
Que importante es la cabeza
How important your head is
Para andar en este jale
To be in this game
Solito vine a este mundo
I came into this world alone
Cuando me trajo mi madre
When my mother brought me
La mera paipa entra y sale
The real top dog comes and goes
Y no necesita a nadie
And needs nobody
Chorus 2
Las águilas andan solas
Eagles roam alone
Las urracas en parvada
Magpies in a flock
¿Pa' qué les digo quien soy?
Why tell you who I am?
Mi nombre no dice nada
My name says nothing
Soy el negrito de Brownsville
I'm the dark one from Brownsville
De aquella clica mentada
From that notorious crew
