Below, I translated the lyrics of the song El Tigre by Junior H from Spanish to English.
Que, ¿por qué soy muy agresivo?
What, why am I so aggressive?
Deme un momento y les explico
Give me a moment and I'll explain
Donde crecí no había cariño
Where I grew up, there was no love
Crecer en calles mi destino
Growing up on the streets was my destiny
La verdad no le temo a nada
The truth is, I'm not afraid of anything
Ya ni lo más feo me espanta
Not even the ugliest things scare me anymore
La vida te ofrece caminos
Life offers you paths
Pero mejor sigo en el mío
But I prefer to stay on mine
Puro Junior H
Pure Junior H
Puro Rancho Humilde
Pure Humble Ranch
Verdá, compa Chuchito
Truthfully, my friend Chuchito
Murió mi padre desde chico
My father died when I was a kid
Y embronque, que por vengativo
And I got angry, because I wanted revenge
¿Qué iba yo hacer?, si era mi sangre
What was I supposed to do? He was my blood
Nomás crecí, vengué a mi padre
I just grew up and avenged my father
En la cárcel hice pininos
I dabbled in crime in jail
No me compuse, soy el mismo
I didn't change, I'm still the same
Nadie puede quitarle al tigre
No one can take away from the tiger
Las rayas con que se distingue
The stripes that distinguish it.
