Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Pateando Latas by Grupo Marca Registrada from Spanish to English.
De Mexicali cruzo con los gringos
From Mexicali I cross with the Americans
Y de LA, voy para el terre del frío
And from LA, I go to the land of the cold
Yo soy Fernando y me serví dos veces
I am Fernando and I served myself twice
Por comer callado y sin hacer ruido
For eating quietly and without making noise
Pateando latas y buscando jale
Kicking cans and looking for work
No me alcanzaba y tuve que buscarle
It wasn't enough for me and I had to figure it out
Abrí mi mente y crucé la frontera
I opened my mind and crossed the border
Pues de mi familia yo era el responsable
Because I was responsible for my family
Fui desmadroso pero nunca un flojo
I was wild but never lazy
Rodeado de muchos, amigo de pocos
Surrounded by many, friend of few
Muchos creyeron que me estaba hundiendo
Many thought I was sinking
Algunos corrieron qué poca fe tuvieron
Some ran, how little faith they had
En el pueblo la vida es bonita de más
In the town life is very beautiful
Le llevo flores a mi hermano también a mi apa
I bring flowers to my brother and also to my dad
Ya la vida me los quito
Life has taken them away from me
Pero por ellos lucho yo
But I fight for them
Pa conseguir lo conseguido, tuve que entrar en acción
To achieve what I achieved, I had to take action
Ya la he perreado con mi hermano el Chaco
I have partied with my brother El Chaco
También hay triunfos juntos realizados
We have also achieved triumphs together
Aunque el gobierno ya me ha correteado
Although the government has chased me
No uso la violencia, tampoco soy dejado
I don't use violence, nor am I lazy
Dejé el pasado pa ver mi futuro
I left the past to see my future
Tengo ya tiempo qué bateamos duro
We've been hitting hard for a while now
Y mis dos damas que nunca me falten
And my two ladies, may they never be missing
Una es mi señora y la otra es mi madre
One is my wife and the other is my mother
Buenas comidas, finos restaurantes
Good meals, fine restaurants
Desempeñándome en varios lugares
Working in various places
Con los vecinos metiéndoles jale
Getting involved with the neighbors
Por ahí suena el Cape pa los que no saben
The Cape sounds around there for those who don't know
Y a todos les toca parte del pastel
And everyone gets a piece of the pie
Si yo gano todos ganan a como debe de ser
If I win, everyone wins as it should be
A Dios le agradezco yo
I thank God
Por todo lo que me dio
For everything He gave me
Y si les doy un regalo, se los doy de corazón
And if I give you a gift, I give it from the heart
