Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Mi Corrido by Julion Alvarez Y Su Norteño Banda from Spanish to English.
(A ver compadre, ira no compadre
Let's see, buddy, go ahead, buddy
Aviéntese mejor ese
Throw that one instead
Ese corrido que me gusta
That corrido that I like
Ese el de usted, échalo)
That one of yours, go for it
Siempre yo quise escuchar un corrido
I always wanted to hear a corrido
Que fuera como mi vida
That was like my life
Que hablara de un vato
That talked about a guy
Que es muy buena gente
Who is a very good person
Y también muy alegre
And also very cheerful
Y le sobran agallas
And has plenty of guts
Cuando lo lastiman
When they hurt him
Alegre, humilde y honrado el muchacho
Cheerful, humble, and honest is the guy
Por eso muchos lo admiran
That's why many admire him
Es inteligente, bueno pa'l negocio
He's intelligent, good for business
Bueno para todo
Good at everything
Cuida sus palabras
He chooses his words carefully
Por eso está arriba
That's why he's on top
Es mujeriego, jalador y parrandero
He's a womanizer, a charmer, and a partygoer
Con sus amigos no se siente más ni menos
With his friends, he doesn't feel more or less
Dice que el dinero se hizo pa gastar
He says that money was made to spend
Y al fin cuando muera nada va a llevar
And in the end, when he dies, he won't take anything with him
Que traigan la banda, me quiero enfiestar
Bring the band, I want to party
Toquen mi corrido
Play my corrido
Que quiero pistear
I want to drink
(Échele compadre
Go for it, buddy
Cheque, Ramoncillo
Check, Ramoncillo
Ay nomas pa que polvo viejo
Just for old times' sake
Norteño Banda, oiga
Norteño Banda, listen
Este corrido es mio
This corrido is mine
Y tuyo también)
And yours too
Poco a poco, como todo sufriendo
Little by little, like everyone suffering
A el nada lo detenía
Nothing could stop him
A veces cayó pero se levantaba
Sometimes he fell, but he would get up
Y al paso del tiempo
And over time
Dio fruto su esfuerzo
His effort bore fruit
Pues lo merecía
Because he deserved it
Siempre yo quise escuchar un corrido
I always wanted to hear a corrido
Que fuera como mi vida
That was like my life
Que hablara de un vato
That talked about a guy
Que es muy buena gente
Who is a very good person
Y también muy alegre
And also very cheerful
Y le sobran agallas
And has plenty of guts
Cuando lo lastiman
When they hurt him
Es mujeriego, jalador, y parrandero
He's a womanizer, a charmer, and a partygoer
Con sus amigos no se siente más ni menos
With his friends, he doesn't feel more or less
Dice que el dinero se hizo pa gastar
He says that money was made to spend
Que al fin cuando muera nada va a llevar
That in the end, when he dies, he won't take anything with him
Que traigan la banda, me quiero enfiestar
Bring the band, I want to party
Toquen mi corrido
Play my corrido
Eso, échele viejo
That's it, go for it, old man
Que quiero pistear
I want to drink
