Below, I translated the lyrics of the song El Árbol Del Mayo by Fuerza Regida from Spanish to English.

A veces me pongo a pensar

Sometimes I start to think

Mayormente andando pedo

Mostly while I'm drunk

Si habrá valido la pena

If it will have been worth it

Llevar la vida que llevo

To live the life I lead

Vivo entre lujo y riquezas

I live among luxury and riches

Pero no están los que quiero

But the ones I love are not here

Mi nieto ya se me fue

My grandson has already left me

Su padre sigue cautivo

His father is still captive

Mi hermano gran compañero

My brother, a great companion

También se encuentra en presidio

Is also in prison

Y el resto de mis retoños

And the rest of my children

Muy pocas veces los miro

I rarely see them

Sesenta y tantos cumplí

I turned sixty-something

Pero aún me siento fuerte

But I still feel strong

A veces siento quebrarme

Sometimes I feel like breaking

Cuando recuerdo a Vicente

When I remember Vicente

Pero si no llora el niño

But if the child doesn't cry

Como va a llorar el jefe

How will the boss cry?

Bernardo, Alonso y Ramón

Bernardo, Alonso, and Ramón

Gracias por seguir conmigo

Thank you for staying with me

Habido buenas y malas

There have been good times and bad times

Y aún seguimos unidos

And we're still together

Compa Peña no se sienta

Compa Peña, don't feel bad

Sabe que nunca lo olvido

You know I never forget you

El dinero da poder

Money gives power

Pero no compra una vida

But it doesn't buy a life

Si no ya hubiera comprado

If it did, I would have already bought

La de aquel que se fue un día

The life of the one who left one day

Pa' hacerle un regalo a mi hijo

To give my son a gift

Sería su eterna alegría

Would be his eternal joy

El árbol sigue de pie

The tree is still standing

Sus ramas le dan la vida

Its branches give it life

No se quebrará el viejón

The old man won't break

Hace falta todavía

He is still needed

No se preocupe compadre

Don't worry, compadre

Que este hombre no se retira

This man is not retiring
