Ya llego la cal de piedra y aquí me tienen ahora
The stone lime has arrived and here I am now
No crean que soy un cualquiera, ni tampoco soy malora
Don't think I'm just anybody, nor am I bad
Dicen que soy golondrina, pero mi bolsa no llora
They say I'm a swallow, but my bag doesn't cry
Soy albañil es muy cierto, pero si soy parrandero
I am a bricklayer, it is very true, but I am a partyer
A mi no me llora el muerto, ni me grita el cantinero
The dead man doesn't cry for me, nor does the bartender shout at me
Cuando una copa yo ofrezco, es porque traigo dinero
When I offer a drink, it is because I bring money
Mi pantalón es de peto, mi chamarra es de mezclilla
My pants are dungarees, my jacket is denim
Y no me la hagan de pleito, porque también soy malilla
And don't sue me, because I'm also bad
Me gusta tomar correcto, con toda mi palomilla
I like to drink correctly, with all my passion
Por un amor no suspiro, ni el color pierdo en la cara
For a love I do not sigh, nor do I lose color in my face
Yo soy como el gallo giro, que canta donde se para
I am like the rooster that crows where it stops
El dinero que yo giro, lo gano con mi cuchara
The money that I turn, I earn with my spoon
Las mujeres me persiguen, pero eso no es cosa mía
Women chase me, but that's not my thing
Y si dinero me piden, se los doy con alegría
And if they ask me for money, I give it to them with joy
Para que nunca se olviden, de un albañil algún día
So that they are never forgotten, of a bricklayer someday
Aquí se apago el candil, señores hasta mañana
Here the lamp went out, gentlemen, until tomorrow
Se despide este albañil, ya se va a ganar más lana
This bricklayer is saying goodbye, he's going to earn more money
Pa' hacerle gasto al barril, los 6 días de la semana
To spend money on the barrel, 6 days a week
