Es Lo Que Hay Lyrics in English Carin Leon
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Es Lo Que Hay by Carin Leon from Spanish to English.
Un costal de cama
A sack of bed
Y pasar por hambre
And going through hunger
Le forjó el carácter
Forged his character
No hubo navidades
There were no Christmases
Pa' lo siete hermanos
For the seven siblings
Pero por si acaso
But just in case
Él ponía el guarache
He put on the sandal
El frío se colaba
The cold seeped in
Por entre las piedras
Through the stones
De la humilde casa
Of the humble house
En el Taciró
In Taciró
El ranchito austero
The austere little ranch
Donde correteaba
Where he used to run around
Allá por su infancia
Back in his childhood
Lleva bien grabados
He carries well engraved
Los buenos consejos
The good advice
No se han de olvidar
Must not forget
No olvida a su padre
He doesn't forget his father
Tampoco a su abuelo
Nor his grandfather
Los que le inculcaron
Those who instilled in him
'Trabaja pa' ganar'
'Work to earn'
Y sin enredarse
And without getting tangled
Porque es jaliciense
Because he's from Jalisco
No sabe rajar
He doesn't know how to back down
Así nomás, viejón
Just like that, old man
Y pa' que sepan cómo ruge el león
And so they know how the lion roars
Su compa Carin León, viejo
His buddy Carin León, old man
¡Vámonos!
Let's go!
Dejó atrás los altos
He left the highs behind
Le quedaron chicos
They were too small for him
Pa' su gran talento
For his great talent
Se brincó la barda
He jumped over the fence
Y hoy el hombre vale
And now the man is worth
Pa' hacerte de patas
To stand up to you
Hay que trabajarle
You have to work for him
Con buenos amigos
With good friends
Hay en Riverside

Blue label tomando

Ayuda a su gente
He helps his people
Porque es hombre fino
Because he's a fine man
Y con su chinita
And with his little Chinese girl
Él siempre ha contado

Bailando el regalo

Que su consentido

Se va a retirar
Is going to retire
Y los perros malos
And the bad dogs
Haciéndole guardia
Standing guard
También por si acaso
Just in case
Una forty-five
A forty-five
Pa' los envidiosos

Y al que no le guste
And whoever doesn't like it
Y así como dice el viejo
And just like the old man says
Pues es lo que hay
Well, that's how it is
