Diana Lyrics in English by Gera MX
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Diana by Gera MX from Spanish to English.
Oh, Diana, tú no sabes to' lo que pasé
I made it big And I paid for your college with my R-A-P
Cuando apenas eras una niña y cumplirías 12
When you were just a little girl, about to turn 12
Cuando me salía a la calle yo siempre por ti recé
When I went out on the street, I always prayed for you
Trabajé varios turnos, pero nunca me cansé
I worked several shifts, but I never got tired
Yo no lo sé, pero entendí
I don't know, but I understood
Que esa colonia no era pa' ti
That that neighborhood wasn't for you
Por eso salí a buscarle
That's why I went out to find you
Y fue que nunca me rendí
And I never gave up
Como aquella vez que tomé
Like that time I took
El celular de algún extraño
A stranger's cell phone
Pa' envolverlo con un moño
To wrap it with a bow
Y dártelo de cumpleaños
And give it to you for your birthday
En el pecho sentía extraño
I felt something strange in my chest
Todo se movía deprisa
Everything was moving fast
Pero valió la pena
But it was worth it
Cuando miré tu sonrisa
When I saw your smile
Dije 'Todo bien, la causa justifica el medio'
I said, 'Everything's alright, the cause justifies the means'
Y el dinero por mi casa
And the money for my house
Siempre fue el mejor remedio
Was always the best remedy
Oh, Diana, tú no sabes to' lo que pasé
I made it big And I paid for your college with my R-A-P
Cuando mami trabajaba y te cuidaba de bebé
Oh, Diana, you don't know everything I went through
Cuando pisé fuerte el barrio, desde chico me enredé
When Mom worked and took care of you as a baby
La pegué y te pagué la uni con mi R-A-P
When I made my mark in the neighborhood, I got involved from a young age
Oh, Diana, tú no sabes to' lo que pasé
I made it big And I paid for your college with my R-A-P
Cuando mami trabajaba y te cuidaba de bebé
Oh, Diana, you don't know everything I went through
Cuando pisé fuerte el barrio, desde chico me enredé
When Mom worked and took care of you as a baby
La pegué y te cambié la vida con mi R-A-P (yeh, yeah)
I made it big and changed your life with my R-A-P (yeah, yeah)
Mi familia fue promedio, con problemas económicos
My family was average, with financial problems
Mami siempre tan linda, papi siempre tan tóxico
Mom always so sweet, dad always so toxic
Fue entonces que salí de casa, con mi rima
That's when I left home, with my rhymes
El amor de los abuelos fue nuestra materia prima
Grandparents' love was our raw material
24 en navidad, alguna fecha lastima
24 at Christmas, some date hurts
Te compré ese par de tenis
I bought you that pair of sneakers
Que veías en la vitrina
That you saw in the shop window
Y dije nomás 'No hay vuelta atrás
And I just said 'There's no going back
¿Apoco no miran que quiero volar?'
Can't you see I want to fly?'
Diana siempre fue el motivo
Diana was always the reason
Por el que aprendí a brillar
Why I learned to shine
Por el que aprendí a brillar
Why I learned to shine
Ah, ahora no quiero bajar
Why I learned to shine
Pobreza tuve que aguantar
Ah, now I don't want to come down
No, no nos volverá a pasar
I had to endure poverty
Llegué a los 20 todo cambiado, cuerpo tatuado
No, it won't happen to us again
Llenaba algunos bares
I turned 20 all changed, tattooed body
Sonaba en varios Estados
I filled some bars
Mi mami con mi hermana
My music played in several states
Buscando por otro lado
My mom and my sister
Tratando que estuviéramos
Looking elsewhere
Como no hemos estado
Trying to be
Juntos, a veces por la noche me pregunto
How we haven't been
La calle me hizo culto
Together, sometimes at night I wonder
Me metí en este asunto
The streets made me cultured
La vida da lecciones
I got into this business
Trata de entender el punto
Life teaches lessons
Ahora toco en festivales
Try to understand the point
Antes tocaba en el punto
Now I play at festivals
Ah, tenía esta plática pendiente
Before I played at the local spot
Ahora tienes 22 y algún par de pretendientes
Ah, I had this conversation pending
Solo era pa' que sepas
Now you're 22 and have a couple of suitors
Que siempre apreté los dientes
It was just so you know
Pues hay que darlo todo
That I always gritted my teeth
Si papá no está presente
Because you have to give it your all
Oh, Diana, tú no sabes to' lo que pasé
I made it big And I paid for your college with my R-A-P
Cuando mami trabajaba y te cuidaba de bebé
Oh, Diana, you don't know everything I went through
Cuando pisé fuerte el barrio, desde chico me enredé
When Mom worked and took care of you as a baby
La pegué y te pagué la uni con mi R-A-P
When I made my mark in the neighborhood, I got involved from a young age
Oh, Diana, tú no sabes to' lo que pasé
I made it big And I paid for your college with my R-A-P
Cuando mami trabajaba y te cuidaba de bebé
Oh, Diana, you don't know everything I went through
Cuando pisé fuerte el barrio, desde chico me enredé
When Mom worked and took care of you as a baby
La pegué y te cambié la vida con mi R-A-P, yeh
When I made it big in the neighborhood, I got involved from a young age

pretendientes — suitors
Pretendientes translates to "suitors" or "potential romantic partners." It's a more formal and somewhat old-fashioned word than common terms for boyfriends or girlfriends, making it stand out.
In the song, the artist, Gera MX, reflects on his sister Diana's growth, noting, "Ahora tienes 22 y algún par de pretendientes" (Now you're 22 and have a couple of suitors). This word choice highlights his protective, almost paternal, view of his sister as she enters adulthood and begins to attract romantic interest.
