La Vieja Escuela Lyrics in English El Fantasma
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song La Vieja Escuela by El Fantasma from Spanish to English.
A veces austero tal vez bien vestido
Sometimes plain, maybe well-dressed
Me miran tranquilo surcando el camino
They see me chill, cruising down the road
Tomando cerveza o con un buen vino
Drinking beer or with a good wine
En mi camioneta rodeado de amigos
In my truck surrounded by friends
Andamos alegres gozando la vida
We're happy, enjoying life
Escuchando a chalino
Listening to Chalino
Desde muy Chavalo le andamos buscando
Since I was a kid, we've been hustling
Correteando el peso pa' Poder gastarlo
Chasing the peso to be able to spend it
Habido altibajos y no nos rajamos
There've been ups and downs and we don't back down
La vida es bonita pa' que nos quejamos
Life is beautiful, why should we complain
Hay que disfrutarla porque lo vivido
You have to enjoy it 'cause what you've lived
Es lo que nos llevamos
Is what we take with us
Cuento con la vieja escuela
I count on the old school
Y tengo buen cuero pa' buenas correas
And I've got thick skin for tough straps
Si se trata de chambearle
When it comes to working
Me aviento con gusto pal jale que sea
I'll gladly jump into any gig
Desde que yo vine al mundo
Since I came into the world
Los buenos principios los traigo de herencia
I carry good principles by inheritance
Pa' que sea buena la cuña
For the wedge to be good
Se tiene que hacer de la misma madera
It has to be made of the same wood
Y no me ablanda cualquiera
And not just anyone can soften me
Si me da la gana me ven en el rancho
If I feel like it, you'll see me at the ranch
Donde tengo amigos a lo largo y ancho
Where I have friends far and wide
Estrecho la mano de gente importante
I shake the hands of important people
Porque han demostrado que están al tirante
Because they've shown they're on point
Yo nunca me fijo en lo que traigan puesto
I never pay attention to what they're wearing
Eso es punto y aparte
That's a separate matter
Yo traigo la rienda y el fuerte en la mano
I hold the reins and the whip in my hand
Por si hay un caballo que me salga bravo
In case a horse comes out wild on me
Ya son otros tiempos ya nadie es dejado
Times have changed, nobody's a pushover now
Ahora los pollos piensan que son gallos
Now the chicks think they're roosters
Cundo se a ofrecido no piensen que
When it's been necessary, don't think that
Me dejo curar parado
I'll let myself be taken for a fool
Cuento con la vieja escuela
I count on the old school
Y tengo buen cuero pa' buenas correas
And I've got thick skin for tough straps
Si se trata de chambearle
When it comes to working
Me aviento con gusto pal jale que sea
I'll gladly jump into any gig
Desde que yo vine al mundo
Since I came into the world
Los buenos principios los traigo de herencia
I carry good principles by inheritance
Pa' que sea buena la cuña
For the wedge to be good
Se tiene que hacer de la misma madera
It has to be made of the same wood
Y no me ablanda cualquiera
And not just anyone can soften me
