Mis Raíces Lyrics in English El Fantasma , Los Dos Carnales
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Mis Raíces by El Fantasma from Spanish to English.
Ando listo para trabajar
I'm ready to work
No tengo tiempo de enredarme
I don't have time to get tangled up
Menos andar con envidias
Much less to walk with envy
Si de frente me han de respetar
If they have to respect me face to face
Y por la espalda han de ladrar
And bark behind my back
Debo saber que así es la vida
I must know that's how life is
Si nacimos entre chiva y vaca, ¿para qué se me alucinan?
If we were born among goats and cows, why do they pretend to be like me?
Caballero en personalidad
A gentleman in personality
Porque así me enseñó mi apá
Because that's how my dad taught me
Que no se me suba a la mente
Not to let it get to my head
De todas las cosas que dirás
Of all the things you'll say
Lo que sale de tu garganta
What comes out of your throat
Se sostiene con los dientes
Is held by your teeth
Es por eso que no soy corriente, no agraviando a los presentes
That's why I'm not ordinary, not offending those present
Somos de sombrero a gusto ancho
We are comfortable with wide-brimmed hats
De huaraches y de rancho
With huaraches and ranch
Humildemente es el cimiento
Humbly, it's the foundation
Al tirante en calles empolvadas
Walking on dusty streets
Con toda la chavalada
With all the young ones
Aterrados y contentos
Terrified and happy
Pero lo mejor de mis raíces es que nunca me avergüenzo
But the best thing about my roots is that I'm never ashamed
¡Ea!
Yeah!
Casi nada compadre
Almost nothing, buddy
Échenle Carnal
Go for it, bro
Los jacales y caminos reales
The shacks and royal roads
Los canales y nogales
The canals and walnut trees
Fueron parte de mi libro
Were part of my story
No soy hombre de mucho pelear
I'm not a man who fights a lot
Pero pa poderme cuidar
But to take care of myself
Para eso me cargo un fierrito
That's why I carry a little gun
El respeto, grande y buen amigo y en caliente se los digo
Respect, a great and good friend, and I'll tell you straight up
Yo nunca me atraso
I never fall behind
Somos hombres no payasos
We are men, not clowns
Verdaderos rancheros y con modales
True ranchers with manners
Mis viejones muy bien me cuidaron
My elders took good care of me
Buena crianza me inculcaron
They instilled good upbringing in me
Mis respetos pa mis padres
My respects to my parents
También me dijeron 'Ponte trucha si quieren hacerte males'
They also told me, "Be careful if they want to harm you"
Vuela, palomita
Fly, little dove
Tú que andas muy alineada
You who are very aligned
Ve y platícale a toda la chavalada
Go and tell all the young ones
El haber nacido en cuna humilde
Being born in humble cradle
Es parte de la enseñanza
Is part of the lesson
Nomás pa que se pongan la pila los que niegan a su raza
Just so those who deny their race can get motivated
