Below, I translated the lyrics of the song El Duro - El Original by Carlos Vives from Spanish to English.
Es el rock de mi pueblo
It's the rock of my people
El duro, el original
The hard, the original
Sólo cuesta quince pesos
It only costs fifteen pesos
En la tienda principal
In the main store
No te conformes con menos
Don't settle for less
No te dejes engañar
Don't be fooled
Que este ha sido un gran esfuerzo
That this has been a great effort
De la música local
Local music
Si lo compras pirateado
If you buy it pirated
O si lo quieres bajar
Or if you want to download it
No habrá plata pa' la leche
There will be no money for milk
Ni pa' volver a grabar
Ni pa' re-record
Por eso amigo resuelvo
That's why friend I resolve
Tu amor con amor pagar
Your love with love pay
Que este es el rock de mi pueblo
That this is the rock of my people
El duro, el original
The hard, the original
