La Escalera Lyrics in English Grupo Recluta
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song La Escalera by Grupo Recluta from Spanish to English.
No me subestimen si ahorita no cargo el peso
Don't underestimate me if I'm not packing money right now
Qué tanto tienes, tanto vales, dejen eso
However much you own is how much you're worth, drop that
Pa' los corrientes que andan tras de la ambición
For the low-lifes chasing ambition
Pa' los amigos de momento
For the here-for-now friends
Soy el mismo con el que brindaron en su mesa
I'm the same guy you toasted with at your table
Pero la vida un día se vuelve dispareja
But life turns lopsided one day
No me distingue una etiqueta ni una marca
No tag or brand sets me apart
Soy el mismo tenga o no
I'm the same, have it or not
Pero sé que a muchos no les sirvo de tanto
But I know I'm not that useful to many
Que les serví, solo me usaron pa' subir
When I was, they only used me to climb
Mientras detuve la escalera
While I held the ladder
Ya estando arriba, la patearon y acá abajo me dejaron
Once they were up, they kicked it and left me down here
Gracias a Dios, soy trabajador subiendo escalón a escalón
Thank God I'm a worker, climbing rung by rung
Tengo en la mente a dónde voy
I've got in my head where I'm headed
No les envidio ni les pido
I don't envy them or ask
Espero no estiren el brazo cuando caigan hasta abajo
I hope they don't reach out when they crash to the bottom
(Como de costumbre
(Like always
Puro lumbre, subiendo la escalera)
Straight fire, climbing the ladder)
No tengo necesidad de aparentarles nada
I have no need to fake a thing for them
Porque la envidia vuelve a las personas malas
'Cause envy turns people evil
Solo se fijan en los logros que uno tiene
They just focus on the wins one has
Y no en todo lo que costó
Not on all that it cost
Voy paso a pasito recorriendo cada milla
I'm going little by little covering every mile
Le puse peso al apellido Bobadilla
I put weight on the Bobadilla surname
Sé que estaría orgulloso
I know he'd be proud
Aquel niño curioso que de Jalisco salió
Of that curious kid who left Jalisco
Hoy que sé que a muchos no les sirvo de tanto
Now I know I'm not that useful to many
Que les serví, solo me usaron pa' subir
When I was, they only used me to climb
Mientras detuve la escalera
While I held the ladder
Ya estando arriba, la patearon y acá abajo me dejaron
Once they were up, they kicked it and left me down here
Gracias a Dios, soy trabajador subiendo escalón a escalón
Thank God I'm a worker, climbing rung by rung
Tengo en la mente a dónde voy
I've got in my head where I'm headed
No les envidio ni les pido
I don't envy them or ask
Espero no estiren el brazo cuando caigan hasta abajo
I hope they don't reach out when they crash to the bottom
