Below, I translated the lyrics of the song El Rey by José Alfredo Jiménez from Spanish to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Yo sé bien que estoy afuera
I know I'm out there
Pero el día en que yo me muera
But the day I die
Sé que tendrás que llorar
I know you're going to have to cry
Llorar y llorar
Crying and crying
Llorar y llorar
Crying and crying
Dirás que no me quisiste
You'll say you didn't love me
Pero vas a estar muy triste
But you're going to be very sad
Y así te vas a quedar
And that's how you're going to stay
Con dinero y sin dinero
With money and no money
Hago siempre lo que quiero
I always do what I want
Y mi palabra es La Ley
And my word is The Law
No tengo trono ni reina
I have no throne or queen
Ni nadie que me comprenda
Nor anyone who understands me
Pero sigo siendo El Rey
But I'm still The King
Una piedra del camino
A stone of the way
Me enseñó que mi destino
He taught me that my destiny
Era rodar y rodar
It was rolling and rolling
Rodar y rodar
Roll and roll
Rodar y rodar
Roll and roll
Después me dijo un arriero
Then he told me a harrier
Que no hay que llegar primero
That you don't have to get there first
Pero hay que saber llegar
But you have to know how to get there
Con dinero y sin dinero
With money and no money
Hago siempre lo que quiero
I always do what I want
Y mi palabra es La Ley
And my word is The Law
No tengo trono ni reina
I have no throne or queen
Ni nadie que me comprenda
Nor anyone who understands me
Pero sigo siendo El Rey
But I'm still The King
