Intro
Nací en donde la vida me ha hecho hombre
I was born where life has made me a man
Acorrala'o de gente buena
Corner of good people
Entusiasma'o por la idea de ser grande
Enthusiastic about the idea of being great
Evadiendo el dolor y la pena
Avoiding pain and sorrow
Nací entre calles oscuras, nací en donde vivo
I was born between dark streets, I was born where I live
Nací en donde, sin duda, para mucha gente está prohibido
I was born where, without a doubt, for many people it is forbidden
Aquí he soña'o con la vida, aquí he juga'o con la suerte
Here I have dreamed of life, here I have played with luck
Aquí la maldad está prohibida, entre nosotros, entre mi gente
Here evil is forbidden, among us, among my people
Lo llamo 'barrio' con orgullo
I call it 'neighborhood' with pride
Lo llaman 'barrio' los de afuera
Outsiders call it 'neighborhood'
Y el honor por nacer aquí me lo atribuyo
And the honor for being born here I attribute to myself
Yo que soy quien soy, a mi manera
I who am who I am, in my own way
De barrio, pero de barrio fino, como mi gente
From the neighborhood, but from a fine neighborhood, like my people
Gente que lucha, gente que siente
People who fight, people who feel
Yo no soy de un barrio a la deriva, sin destino
I'm not from a neighborhood adrift, with no destination
No, yo soy de barrio, pero de un barrio fino
No, I'm from the neighborhood, but from a fine neighborhood
Y de ahí nace un joven
And from there a young man is born
Que no sabía lo que le tenía preparado el destino
That he did not know what destiny had in store for him
Destino que lo llevó hasta la música
Fate that led him to music
La cual le ha dado grandes satisfacciones y grandes galardones
Which has given him great satisfaction and great awards
Pero ninguno de ellos tiene tanto significado para él
But none of them have that much meaning to him
Como lo ha sido el cariño y el respeto de su público
As has been the affection and respect of its public
Yankee, usted tiene la última palabra
Yankee, you have the last word
