Below, I translated the lyrics of the song El Rey De La Naturaleza by Carin Leon from Spanish to English.
Y ese grato corridón, compadre
And that pleasant corrido, buddy
Ahí le va mi viejo
There goes my old man
Compadrito y pa mi compa Erick también
Little buddy and for my buddy Erick too
Unos saludazos, compa y dice
Some big greetings, buddy, and he says
Allá por la madrugada
There in the early morning
Le suena el cuaco a una yegua
The horse whinnies to a mare
Parece ser Pancho Villa
It seems to be Pancho Villa
Montado en sus siete leguas
Riding his seven leagues
Es el viejo don Antonio
It's old man Antonio
Al lado de su teniente
Next to his lieutenant
Perro tuerto y algo chueco
One-eyed dog and somewhat crooked
Que se pasó de valiente
Who was too brave
El jinete muestra señas
The rider shows signs
De mil tropiezos y afanes
Of a thousand stumbles and efforts
Durmió bajo las estrellas
He slept under the stars
Le azotan los gavilanes
The hawks whip him
Y aún porta la elegancia
And he still carries the elegance
Y aunque viva en la pobreza
And even though he lives in poverty
Es hombre de palabra
He's a man of his word
Rey de la naturaleza
King of nature
Y hasta Colima, compa, Chiapas
And even to Colima, buddy, Chiapas
Saludazos, viejo
Big greetings, old man
Platica el viejo con calma
The old man talks calmly
La vida es perder y ganar
Life is about losing and winning
El único pobre del mundo
The only poor person in the world
Es el que no supo amar
Is the one who didn't know how to love
Dios nos dio los animales
God gave us animals
Para nuestro bienestar
For our well-being
Y aunque comamos su carne
And even if we eat their meat
Hay que saberlos cuidar
We must know how to take care of them
Rodeando por un sendero viejo
Riding along an old path
Sentado bien en la silla
Sitting well in the saddle
Sombrero gacho arriscado
Hat tilted, daring
Concentración de aguillilla
Focused like a hawk
Va en busca de un árbol seco
He goes in search of a dry tree
Del cual poder hacer leña
From which to make firewood
Sonrío al verse comparado
He smiles when compared
Le duele lo que hoy desempeña
It hurts him what he does today
Siempre labró con empeño
He always worked diligently
Al azar, enterrar esquineros
By chance, burying cornerstones
Lo hizo al estilo quileño
He did it in the Quileño style
De todos fue compañero
He was everyone's companion
Fueron pasando los años
The years went by
Hoy la hace de cocinero
Today he cooks
Ya me cansé de rebaños
I got tired of herds
Cuando fui yo el mero mero
When I was the top dog
El jinete muestra señas
The rider shows signs
De mil tropiezos y afanes
Of a thousand stumbles and efforts
Durmió bajo las estrellas
He slept under the stars
Le azotan los gavilanes
The hawks whip him
Y aún porta la elegancia
And he still carries the elegance
Y aunque viva en la pobreza
And even though he lives in poverty
Es hombre de palabra
He's a man of his word
Rey de la naturaleza
King of nature
