Juan Farfan's "Yo Si Cuido Lo Mio" is a lively joropo that's all about holding onto what you've got and being smart with your blessings. Farfan shares his wisdom, urging us to value our possessions, whether it's a little bit or a lot, because it all comes from hard work. He warns against throwing away what you have for something new, reminding us that "tienes que votar lo que tienes por ganar" [you have to throw away what you have to win], but then immediately follows up with a story of someone who lost everything by doing just that.
He pokes fun at those who get rich quickly through shady deals, contrasting them with the person who cares for their ranch and its simple, everyday things. Farfan even takes a jab at politicians, saying, "esto no lo digo yo me cuenta los que lo han visto" [I'm not saying this, those who have seen it tell me], implying they often say one thing and do another. It's a song filled with colorful stories and a clear message: appreciate what's yours, because once it's gone, it's hard to get back. He even compares a good singer to a fighting rooster, saying "el gallo que el matador no necesita de ti" [the killer rooster doesn't need you], meaning true talent speaks for itself!
