Mis Manos Lyrics in English Junior H

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Mis Manos by Junior H from Spanish to English.
When many of you point with a finger
I'm still here jotting the number of heads of those that hurt
Many of you, a**holes
You remembered me when I was already in the ring
Do you really think that I'm dumb
A well-seasoned kid, and even though by my face I only seem
The total opposite, green, but that way I reaffirm myself
Ask my hands then, buddy
Notice the calluses, they mean the claws that I've worked for
Little by little I've earned my taco with f*cking punches
But meanwhile I'm still here, blessings to life
And one day I saw myself at the top
I've already tasted what the top is
One day I dreamed it and I imagined myself up there
A kid killing that craving
Now from up here I give you just one piece of advice, bro
Don't waste time, learn to hustle
So if you see that I burn through the racks
Sometimes on wh*rehouses and champagne, I'm at that all the time
The life I lead sometimes my God doesn't like
But it's that one bad one and we disappear
You're already in the coffin and your loved ones praying an Our Father for you
That's why I live first before the sun goes down
But meanwhile I'm still here, blessings to life
And one day I saw myself at the top
I've already tasted what the top is
One day I dreamed it and I imagined myself up there
A kid killing that craving
Now from up here I give you just one piece of advice, bro
Don't waste time, learn to hustle

SONG MEANING

Junior H’s “Mis Manos” feels like an open journal filled with grit, swagger, and hard-earned wisdom. The Mexican singer fires back at critics who once ignored him, proudly counting “the heads of those who hurt him” while showing the scars that prove his hustle. His hands become living proof of every fight, every sacrifice, and every late-night grind that earned him a seat “en la cima.” Surrounded by roosters (a classic symbol of courage in regional Mexican culture), he celebrates reaching the top yet never forgets the bruises it took to get there.

Despite the champagne, wild nights, and bursts of bravado, the song carries a reflective heart: life is short, God might frown on some choices, and a single misstep can put anyone “in the box.” That’s why Junior H urges listeners to stop wasting time and learn to work (“enséñense a chambear”). “Mis Manos” is both a victory lap and a cautionary tale, reminding us that success tastes sweeter when your own calloused palms can vouch for every moment of struggle.
