Me gusto la vida recia
I liked the tough life
Hice cosas malas, buenas
I did bad, good things
Y una súper del 40 me enseno
And a .40 caliber taught me
A la vida hay que apostarle
That life must be bet on
Y batallarle
And fought for
Para no ser del montón
To not be ordinary
Hay historias que contar
There are stories to tell
Y amigos que recordar
And friends to remember
Más no quiero
But I don't want
Contagiarles mi dolor
To infect them with my pain
Tanto tiempo la perrie
I partied for so long
Gane y probé del poder
I won and tasted power
Ya me tocaba perder
It was my turn to lose
No hice pacto con el diablo
I made no deal with the devil
No firme ningún contrato
I signed no contract
Al contrario siempre
On the contrary, I always
A dios me encomendé
Entrusted myself to God
No olvido las hamburguesas
I don't forget the hamburgers
Ni los carros que lave
Nor the cars I washed
La balanza se inclino
The scale tipped
Puse todo a mi favor
I put everything in my favor
Y lo que tanto espere
And what I waited for so much
Por fin llego
Finally arrived
El dinero me sobro
I had money to spare
Y no lo niego me ayudo
And I don't deny it helped me
Y aquel perro
And that dog
Se convirtió en un señor
Became a gentleman
Fui blanco de la envidia
I was a target of envy
Tal vez yo la llame
Maybe I called it upon myself
Quise comerme al mundo
I wanted to conquer the world
Y lo que había en el
And everything in it
Como llueve se seca
Like rain, it dries up
El café se enfría
Coffee cools down
Un día toreé mi suerte
One day I tested my luck
Gano holanda, perdió china
Holland won, China lost
A mí nadie va a contarme
No one can tell me
De venecia, de los alpes
About Venice, the Alps
De dubái, españa todo conocí
Dubai, Spain, I've seen it all
Y en las pirámides de egipto
And at the pyramids of Egypt
Raspe las suelas
I scuffed the soles
De mis louboutin
Of my Louboutins
Las más hermosas mujeres
The most beautiful women
Las actrices de la tele
The TV actresses
Y adornaban mi colchón
And they adorned my bed
Ese es otro rollo amigo
That's a different story, friend
Lo más perro que he vivido
The wildest thing I've lived
Aunque se los cuente
Even if I tell you
Desde la prisión
From prison
Festejaba el año nuevo
I celebrated New Year's
Con puro champagne del bueno
With only good champagne
Ese día nunca
That day I'll never
Los güeros de las paletas
The blonde guys from the popsicles
En la sala de abordar
In the boarding lounge
Era gente de interpol
They were Interpol people
De la dea que se yo
DEA, who knows
Apenas juntos
Barely together
Y pudieron detenerme
And they could arrest me
Es el gusto que me llevo
It's the pleasure I take with me
Y sé que sería otro juego
And I know it would've been a different game
Si hubiera cargado con mi 5.7
If I had carried my 5.7
Fui blanco de la envidia
I was a target of envy
Tal vez yo la llame
Maybe I called it upon myself
Quise comerme al mundo
I wanted to conquer the world
Y lo que había en el
And everything in it
Como llueve se seca
Like rain, it dries up
El café se enfría
Coffee cools down
Un día toreé mi suerte
One day I tested my luck
Gano holanda, perdió china
Holland won, China lost
