De no ser acaudalado

Mi ranchito y lo que tengo

Mi trabajo me ha costado

Duermo tranquilo mis noches
I sleep peacefully my nights
Porque a nadie le he robado

No hay que ser tan ambicioso
You don't have to be so ambitious
Con que alcance aunque no sobre

Es verdad, me gusta el oro

Pero no desprecio el cobre

Lo que es más hasta valoro

Las ventajas de ser pobre

Cuando no tienes de sobra

No hay amor interesado

Ni problemas con hacienda

Ni hay un pobre secuestrado
Nor is there a poor kidnapped
Siempre doy gracias al cielo

De ser tan afortunado
To be so lucky
¡Y a bailar mis cuates

Se acabaron las vacaciones!

Ayer parando la oreja

Se los cuento aquí en confianza

Escuché a un guey que se queja

Que la plata no le alcanza

Y en lugar de chambear duro
And instead of hard
Se anda rascando la panza

No hay que ser tan ambicioso

Mucho menos conformista

Cuando yo no tenía carro

Me soñaba en la autopista

Y eso que andaba en burrito

En mis tiempos de agrarista

Si señor!
