Soy Albañil Lyrics in English El Fantasma , Voz de Mando, Julian Mercado
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Soy Albañil by El Fantasma from Spanish to English.
Ya llego la cal de piedra
The lime of stone has arrived
Y aquí me tienen ahora
And here they have me now
No crean que soy un cualquiera
Don't think I'm just anyone
Ni tampoco soy malora
Nor am I a troublemaker
Dicen que soy golondrina
They say I'm a swallow
Pero mi bolsa no llora
But my wallet doesn't cry
Soy albañil es muy cierto
I'm a bricklayer, it's very true
Pero si soy parrandero
But I'm also a partygoer
A mí no me llora el muerto
The dead don't cry for me
Ni me grita el cantinero
Nor does the bartender yell at me
Cuando una copa yo brindo
When I raise a glass
Es porque traigo dinero
It's because I have money
Mi pantalón es de peto
My pants have bibs
Mi chamarra es de mezclilla
My jacket is denim
Y no me la hagan de pleito
And don't start a fight with me
Porque también soy malilla
Because I'm also tough
Me gusta tomar correcto
I like to drink properly
Con toda mi palomilla
With all my buddies
Por un amor no suspiro
I don't sigh for love
Ni el color pierdo en la cara
Nor do I lose color in my face
Yo soy como el gallo giro
I'm like the gray rooster
Que canta donde se para
That crows wherever it stands
El dinero que yo tiro
The money I throw
Lo gano con mi cuchara
I earn it with my spoon
Las mujeres me persiguen
Women chase me
Pero esa no es cosa mía
But that's not my thing
Y si dinero me piden
And if they ask me for money
Se los doy con alegría
I give it to them joyfully
Para que nunca se olviden
So they never forget
De un albañil algún día
About a bricklayer one day
Aquí se me apagó el candil
Here my lantern went out
Señores, hasta mañana
Gentlemen, until tomorrow
Se despide este albañil
This bricklayer bids farewell
Ya se va a ganar más lana
He's off to earn more wool
Pa' darle gusto al barril
To please the barrel
7 días de la semana
7 days of the week
