Below, I translated the lyrics of the song El Ayudante by Hermanos Espinoza from Spanish to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Un tiempo fui campesino
I was once a farmer
Y desde muy niño me enseñé a sembrar
And from a very young age I taught myself to sow
Pero todo era tristeza
But everything was sadness
Vivía en la pobreza, tuve que cambiar
I lived in poverty, I had to change
Me convertí en traficante
I became a trafficker
Primero ayudante de un hombre famoso
First assistant to a famous man
Pero cambiaron las cosas
But things changed
La vida es curiosa, hoy soy poderoso
Life is curious, today I am powerful
Mucho anduve trabajando
I was working a lot
Allá por Durango y por Zacatecas
There in Durango and Zacatecas
Por muchos otros lugares
In many other places
Allá por Nogales, también Agua Prieta
There in Nogales, also Agua Prieta
De esa cárcel de Durango
From that Durango prison
Hace algunos años fui su prisionero
Some years ago I was your prisoner
Pero no pude aguantarme
But I couldn't hold back
Tuve que fugarme con mis compañeros
I had to run away with my companions
Me gusta tener amigos
I like to have friends
Que sean decididos y que me sean fieles
May they be determined and may they be faithful to me
Y cuando estoy con mi gente
And when I'm with my people
Tóquenme, cadetes, para estar alegres
Touch me, cadets, to be happy
Cantando ya me despido
Singing I say goodbye
Del rancho querido que me vio nacer
From the beloved ranch that saw me born
Ese rancho de la Palma
That ranch in La Palma
Tengo tantas ganas de volverlo a ver
I so want to see him again
