La Chapiza Lyrics in English El Fantasma
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song La Chapiza by El Fantasma from Spanish to English.
Siempre se arriman al árbol
They always come close to the tree
Cuando buena sombra tiene
When it has good shade
Pero si se encuentra seco
But if it's dry
Nunca hay nadie que lo riegue
There's never anyone to water it
De ese pelo hay mucha gente
There are many people like that hair
Que se arriman cuando conviene
Who come close when it's convenient
Sé acercan a lo barrido
They approach what's been swept away
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
It's better to have friends
Cuando el saludo les niego
When I deny them a greeting
Es porque lo han merecido
It's because they've deserved it
Todos los que son corrientes
All those who are common
Aquí no son bienvenidos
Are not welcome here
Yo siempre brindo mi mano
I always offer my hand
Sin fijarme en la cartera
Without looking at the wallet
El que viene por las buenas
Those who come with good intentions
Camina por la vereda
Walk on the right path
Pero aquel que agarra monte
But those who grab the mountain
Buena intención nunca lleva
Never carry good intentions
Tengo bien reconocida
I have the trail of snakes
La huella de las culebras
Well recognized
Con los dedos de la mano
With the fingers of my hand
Son contados los amigos
I can count my friends
Y me sobran varios dedos
And I have several fingers left
Eso está reconocido
That's well recognized
Al que tú le das la mano
To the one you give your hand
Pocas veces te ha servido
They've 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
It's better to have friends
Cuando el saludo les niego
When I deny them a greeting
Es porque lo han merecido
It's because they've deserved it
Todos los que son corrientes
All those who are common
Aquí no son bienvenidos
Are not welcome here
Yo siempre brindo mi mano
I always offer my hand
Sin fijarme en la cartera
Without looking at the wallet
El que viene por las buenas
Those who come with good intentions
Camina por la vereda
Walk on the right path
Pero aquel que agarra monte
But those who grab the mountain
Buena intención nunca lleva
Never carry good intentions
Tengo bien reconocida
I have the trail of snakes
La huella de las culebras
The footprint of the snakes
