Siempre se arriman al árbol
They always get close to the tree
Cuando buena sombra tiene
When good shade has
Pero si se encuentra seco
But if it's dry
Nunca hay nadie que lo riegue
There's never anyone to water it down
De ese pelo hay mucha gente
there are many people with that hair
Que se arriman cuando conviene
They come when it's convenient
Sé acercan a lo barrido
I know they approach the swept
Si está sucio nunca vienen
If it's dirty they never come
Se cosecha lo que siembras
You reap what you sow
Dice un dicho conocido
Says a well-known saying
El dinero se termina
money runs out
Más vale tener amigos
better to have friends
Cuando el saludo les niego
When the greeting I deny them
Es porque lo han merecido
It is because they have deserved it
Todos los que son corrientes
all who are ordinary
Aquí no son bienvenidos
here they are not welcome
Yo siempre brindo mi mano
I always offer my hand
Sin fijarme en la cartera
without paying attention to the wallet
El que viene por las buenas
The one who comes for good
Camina por la vereda
he walks down the sidewalk
Pero aquel que agarra monte
But the one who grabs mount
Buena intención nunca lleva
good intention never leads
Tengo bien reconocida
I have well recognized
La huella de las culebras
The footprint of the snakes
Con los dedos de la mano
With the fingers of the hand
Son contados los amigos
friends are counted
Y me sobran varios dedos
And I have several fingers left over
Eso está reconocido
that is recognized
Al que tú le das la mano
to whom you give your hand
Pocas veces te ha servido
He has rarely served you
Pero aquí somos arrieros
But here we are muleteers
Y andamos en el camino
and we walk on the road
Se cosecha lo que siembras
You reap what you sow
Dice un dicho conocido
Says a well-known saying
El dinero se termina
money runs out
Más vale tener amigos
better to have friends
Cuando el saludo les niego
When the greeting I deny them
Es porque lo han merecido
It is because they have deserved it
Todos los que son corrientes
all who are ordinary
Aquí no son bienvenidos
here they are not welcome
Yo siempre brindo mi mano
I always offer my hand
Sin fijarme en la cartera
without paying attention to the wallet
El que viene por las buenas
The one who comes for good
Camina por la vereda
he walks down the sidewalk
Pero aquel que agarra monte
But the one who grabs mount
Buena intención nunca lleva
good intention never leads
Tengo bien reconocida
I have well recognized
La huella de las culebras
The footprint of the snakes
