En El Camino Lyrics in English El Fantasma
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song En El Camino by El Fantasma from Spanish to English.
En el camino me encontré
On the road I ran into
Aquel cabrón que me ignoro
That bastard who ignored me
Platicándole a la gente
Telling the people
Como me conoció
How he met me
Cuando niño por jodido
When I was a broke kid
Me negaron un favor
He denied me a favor
Ahora me solicita
Now he asks me
Como invitado de honor
As guest of honor
Una cosa es ser buenazo
One thing is being a good guy
Y otra es ser pendejo
And another is being a dumb*ss
Por eso es corta la lista
That's why the list is short
Cual yo no dejo
That I don't abandon
De las falsas amistades
Of the fake friendships
Como las que yo me alejo
From which I stay away
No me gustan falsedades
I don't like fakery
Yo camino en lo parejo
I walk on the straight
Los amigos que yo tengo
The friends that I have
Desde siempre los conservo
I've always kept them
Son los reales del consejo
They're the real ones in the circle
Deja les compruebo
Let me prove it
Cuando no ganaba mucho
When I didn't earn much
Fueron pocos los con gusto
There were few who gladly
Los que siempre me apoyaron
The ones who always supported me
Y me sacaron de apuros
And got me out of trouble
La neta le doy las gracias
Honestly I thank
A los quienes me ayudaron
Those who helped me
Recuerdo juntar centavos
I remember collecting pennies
Solo para echarme un taco
Just to grab a taco
Batallé bastantemente
I struggled a lot
Y jamás borro el pasado
And I never erase the past
Es la razón de mi ser
It's the reason for my being
Y de lo que he progresado
And for how much I've progressed
Por dos días que cante
For the two days that I sang
Y noches que yo llore
And nights that I cried
Cuando era arbolero
When I was a tree cutter
Fue donde yo me ubique
That's where I found myself
Era el hambre de mis hijos
It was my kids' hunger
La tenia que vencer
I had to beat it
Y darles un buen futuro
And give them a good future
Pa eso me costó saber
For that it cost me to learn
A como pudo dormirse
However sleep could come
Y mira como logre
And look how I made it
Pero ya cambio la cosa
But things have changed
Mira a donde llegue
Look where I arrived
Ahora que les canto en vivo
Now that I sing to you live
Yo disfruto los aplausos
I enjoy the applause
De todo mi gente y mis mejores amigos
From all my people and my best friends
