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 in Durango, that's where an old man was born
Que, sin palabra, todos mis respetos
Who, wordlessly, has all my respect
Sé lo que sé y me lo enseñó el amigo
My friend taught me what I know
De mis hazañas él siempre es testigo
He's always a witness to my exploits
Es buen maestro, trae largo el colmillo
He's a good teacher, he's very experienced
Y él cómo es mi padre, también es mi amigo
And since he's my dad, he's also my friend
Se brincó el cerco pa acá con los güeros
He jumped the fence to get over here with the gringos
Junto con mi madre y acá me parieron
Along with my mother, and I was born here
Con la vieja escuela de bota y sombrero
With the old school style of boots and a hat
Es la misma línea que navega el viejo
It's the same path the old man follows
Si ahorita ando alegre, me siento contento
If I'm cheerful right now, I feel happy
Mas no hagan confianza, porque sigo atento
But don't get comfortable, 'cause I'm still alert
También desde plebe demostré talento
Ever since I was a kid, I showed talent
Soy hombre movido y con buenos cimientos
I'm a man of action with a solid foundation
Me apodan del H' y no es porque sea mudo
They call me 'H' and it's not because I'm mute
Pero pa el que busque traigo un tartamudo
But for whoever's looking, I'm carrying a stutterer
Y no lo traemos de oquis, pariente
And we don't carry it for nothing, cousin
Con este corrido vamos a agarrar camino pa Durando, oiga
With this corrido we're gonna hit the road to Durango, listen
Así suena, Arriesgado, compa
That's how it sounds, Arriesgado, homie
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's a lot of young guys who are real ones
Iván y Angelito los que andan conmigo
Iván and Angelito are the ones who roll with me
Pa lo que se ofrezca, pegan bien el brinco
For whatever's needed, they jump right in
Le ando echando ganas pa ganar lo mío
I'm working hard to earn what's mine
Calmado en el jale, no hago mucho ruido
Chill on the job, I don't make much noise
Doy gracias a Dios por cuidar de mi vida
I thank God for looking after my life
Mas no me preocupo, yo vivo mis días
But I don't worry, I live my days
Recuerdos bonitos me dan alegría
Good memories bring me joy
Disfruto lo simple de su compañía
I enjoy the simple things of his company
Palabras del viejo que son un tesoro
The old man's words which are a treasure
Eso no lo compra ni con todo el oro
You can't buy that, not even with all the gold
Igual yo soy hombre y protejo lo mío
Likewise I'm a man and I protect what's mine
Y es una güerita que me tiene engreído
And it's a blonde girl who has me spoiled
Que toque Arriesgado pa bailar macizo
Let Arriesgado play so we can dance hard
Bonitas canciones y también corridos
Pretty songs and also corridos
