Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Con Todo Respetillo by Joss Favela from Spanish to English.
Me arranqué no más con ganas y con un capricho
I started off just with desire and with a whim
'Paso a paso no hay fracaso', dice el dicho
'Step by step there is no failure,' says the saying
Me arranqué no más con ganas y con un capricho
I started off just with desire and with a whim
'Paso a paso no hay fracaso', dice el dicho
'Step by step there is no failure,' says the saying
Y aquí vamos pa' adelante
And here we go forward
Los amigos que estuvieron saben quiénes fueron
The friends that were there know who they were
Les agradezco a los que sí
I thank those who did
Y a los que no creyeron
And those who didn't believe
Porque de ahí se agarra uno pa' tirarle al cielo
Because from there one grabs to aim for the sky
Y un abrazo pa' los que me tiraban de loco
And a hug for those who called me crazy
Poco a poco va llenándose de agua el coco
Little by little the coconut fills with water
Hoy disfruto saludarlos viéndole los ojos
Today I enjoy greeting you looking in your eyes
Si supieran que a penitas vamos empezando
If you knew that we're just starting
Lo mejor viene en camino, lo estoy decretando
The best is on the way, I'm declaring it
Acostúmbrese a mirarnos siempre trabajando
Get used to seeing us always working
Lo que es medible, no es discutible
What is measurable is not debatable
Pa' el que quiera medirse aquí voy a estar
For whoever wants to measure up, here I will be
Siempre disponible
Always available
Y ahí le va compa, Joss
And here it goes, buddy, Joss
Échele pa'delante, viejo
Keep going forward, old man
Puro Luis R Conriquez, pariente
Pure Luis R Conriquez, relative
Dicen que la envidia tiene el sueño livianito
They say envy has a light sleep
Pero, pa' uno que madruga o que no ha dormido
But, for one who gets up early or hasn't slept
Hay con queso pa' atorar, con todo respetillo
There's cheese to block, with all respect
Y un abrazo pa' los que me tiraban de loco
And a hug for those who called me crazy
Poco a poco va llenándose de agua el coco
Little by little the coconut fills with water
Hoy disfruto saludarlos viéndole los ojos
Today I enjoy greeting you looking in your eyes
Si supieran que a penitas vamos empezando
If you knew that we're just starting
Lo mejor viene en camino, lo estoy decretando
The best is on the way, I'm declaring it
Acostúmbrese a mirarnos siempre trabajando
Get used to seeing us always working
Lo que es medible, no es discutible
What is measurable is not debatable
Pa' el que quiera medirse aquí voy a estar
For whoever wants to measure up, here I will be
Siempre disponible
Always available
Siempre disponible
Always available
