Below, I translated the lyrics of the song El H by Grupo Arriesgado from Spanish to English.
Allá en Durango, por ahí nació un viejo
Over there in Durango, that's where an old man was born
Que, sin palabra, todos mis respetos
That, without a word, all my respects
Sé lo que sé y me lo enseñó el amigo
I know what I know and the friend taught me
De mis hazañas él siempre es testigo
Of my exploits, he is always a witness
Es buen maestro, trae largo el colmillo
He's a good teacher, he's got a long tooth
Y él cómo es mi padre, también es mi amigo
And since he is my father, he is also my friend
Se brincó el cerco pa acá con los güeros
He jumped the fence over here with the white folks
Junto con mi madre y acá me parieron
Together with my mother and here they gave birth to me
Con la vieja escuela de bota y sombrero
With the old school of boots and hat
Es la misma línea que navega el viejo
It's the same line that the old man sails
Si ahorita ando alegre, me siento contento
If right now I'm cheerful, I feel happy
Mas no hagan confianza, porque sigo atento
But don't trust, because I stay alert
También desde plebe demostré talento
Also since I was a kid, I showed talent
Soy hombre movido y con buenos cimientos
I'm a busy man with good foundations
Me apodan del H' y no es porque sea mudo
They nickname me 'H' and it's not because I'm mute
Pero pa el que busque traigo un tartamudo
But for the one who seeks, I bring a stutterer
Y no lo traemos de oquis, pariente
And we don't bring it for nothing, relative
Con este corrido vamos a agarrar camino pa Durando, oiga
With this corrido, we're going to hit the road to Durango, listen
Así suena, Arriesgado, compa
That's how it sounds, Arriesgado, buddy
Ahorita muy pocos saben ser amigos
Right now very few know how to be friends
Pero hay tanto plebe que son gallos finos
But there are so many kids that are fine roosters
Iván y Angelito los que andan conmigo
Iván and Angelito are the ones who are with me
Pa lo que se ofrezca, pegan bien el brinco
For whatever is needed, they jump well
Le ando echando ganas pa ganar lo mío
I'm putting in effort to earn what's mine
Calmado en el jale, no hago mucho ruido
Calm at work, I don't make much noise
Doy gracias a Dios por cuidar de mi vida
I thank God for taking care of my life
Mas no me preocupo, yo vivo mis días
But I don't worry, I live my days
Recuerdos bonitos me dan alegría
Beautiful memories give me joy
Disfruto lo simple de su compañía
I enjoy the simple things of their company
Palabras del viejo que son un tesoro
Words from the old man that are a treasure
Eso no lo compra ni con todo el oro
That can't be bought even with all the gold
Igual yo soy hombre y protejo lo mío
I'm also a man and I protect what's mine
Y es una güerita que me tiene engreído
And it's a little blonde that has me spoiled
Que toque Arriesgado pa bailar macizo
Let Arriesgado play to dance hard
Bonitas canciones y también corridos
Beautiful songs and also corridos
