No fui a la escuela porque no pude
I didn't go to school because I couldn't
No porque no haya querido
Not because I didn't want to
De sol a sol trabajaba
I worked from dawn to dusk
Con mi padre en el cultivo
With my father in the crop
Esa maldita pobreza
That damn poverty
Se había ensañado conmigo
He had been cruel to me
Como las tierras no eran de riego
Since the lands were not irrigated
A veces no había cosecha
Sometimes there was no harvest
Gracias a Dios no faltaban
Thank God there were no shortages
Los frijoles en la mesa
beans on the table
Mis hermanitos contentos
My happy little brothers
Y yo con tanta tristeza
And I with so much sadness
Con envidia de la buena
With envy of the good
Yo miraba a mis amigos
I looked at my friends
Vistiendo ropa de marca
Wearing designer clothes
Y botas de cocodrilo
And crocodile boots
Yo con huaraches de llanta
Me with tire huaraches
Y pantalones rompidos
And torn pants
Ahora las cosas cambiaron mucho
Now things have changed a lot
También yo visto elegante
I also dress elegant
Y la gente me pregunta
and people ask me
Si soy narcotraficante
Yes I am a drug dealer
Mi familia ya no sufre
My family no longer suffers
Y eso es lo más importante
And that's the most important thing
Les doy de todo lo que no pude
I give them everything I couldn't
Y eso me pone contento
And that makes me happy
Los números me confunden
The numbers confuse me
Porque soy analfabeto
Because I am illiterate
Pero con billetes verdes
But with green bills
Mi título es de maestro
My title is teacher
Hoy traigo pa' divertirme
Today I bring to have fun
La pobreza se acabó
Poverty is over
Si antes tomaba aguardiente
If I used to drink brandy
Hoy tomo de lo mejor
Today I drink the best
Cerveza si se me antoja
Beer if I feel like it
Buchanan's o del Patrón
Buchanan's or Patron's
