Below, I translated the lyrics of the song La Primera Piedra by Jenni Rivera from Spanish to English.
Por que soy como soy me critican
Because I'm the way I am, they criticize me
Si a mi modo yo vivo mi vida
If I live my life my own way
Si no saben lo que estoy sintiendo
If they don't know what I'm feeling
Si no saben lo que traigo dentro
If they don't know what I carry inside
Que me pueden venir a decir
What can they come and tell me
Yo soy piedra que por el camino
I am a stone that along the road
Va buscando tan solo un destino
That goes looking for just one destiny
Las veces que me he tropezado
The times that I've stumbled
Son las mismas que me he levantado
Are the same ones I've gotten back up
Y es la forma en que yo se vivir
And it's the way that I know how to live
Una milla tansolo les pido
One mile is all that I ask of them
Que recorran por este camino
That they walk along this path
Para comprender por que soy como soy
To understand why I'm the way I am
Y aquel que este libre de pecado
And the one that is free of sin
Y aquel que jamas se ha equivocado
And the one that has never been wrong
Que venga y se pare en donde yo estoy
Let that one come and stand where I am
Tu que vives juzgando mi vida
You that live judging my life
Que tu ojo primero la mida
Let your eye first measure it
Tu que a mi me presumes de santo
You that boast to me of being a saint
Compro tu santidad dime cuanto
I'll buy your holiness, tell me how much
Tu que vives juzgando mi vida
You that live judging my life
Vive la tuya y deja en paz la mia
Live yours and leave mine in peace
Y anda tira la primera piedra
And go on, throw the first stone
Limpia tu conciencia
Your conscience clean
Y quieren hacer leña
And they want to make firewood
Del árbol caido
From the fallen tree
Pero aqui toparon con tronco
But here they ran into a trunk
Don pedro rivera!!
Don Pedro Rivera!!
Una milla tansolo les pido
One mile is all that I ask of them
Que recorran por este camino
That they walk along this path
Para comprender por que soy como soy
To understand why I'm the way I am
Y aquel que este libre de pecado
And the one that is free of sin
Y aquel que jamas se ha equivocado
And the one that has never been wrong
Que venga y se pare en donde yo estoy
Let that one come and stand where I am
Tu que vives juzgando mi vida
You that live judging my life
Que tu ojo primero la mida
Let your eye first measure it
Tu que a mi me presumes de santo
You that boast to me of being a saint
Compro tu santidad dime cuanto
I'll buy your holiness, tell me how much
Tu que vives juzgando mi vida
You that live judging my life
Vive la tuya y deja en paz la mia
Live yours and leave mine in peace
Y anda tira la primera piedra
And go on, throw the first stone
Limpia tu conciencia
Your conscience clean
