Below, I translated the lyrics of the song El Primero by La Vela Puerca from Spanish to English.
A ser el dueño
To be the owner
De mi caparazón
from my shell
De mis andadas
Of my walks
Con mas de un moretón
With more than one bruise
Vuelvo a ser el primero
I'm the first again
En rodar por el suelo
rolling on the ground
Y volverlo a intentar
and try again
Vuelvo a ser la caricia
I am the caress again
Que casi me asfixia
that almost suffocated me
Y no quiere aflojar
And he doesn't want to let up
Miles de anzuelos
Thousands of hooks
Solo para probar
Just to try
Las condiciones
The conditions
Que no voy a aceptar
that I will not accept
Traje al mundo canciones
I brought songs to the world
Que no me arrepiento
that I don't regret
Y te quiero contar
And I want to tell you
Traigo mis confesiones
I bring my confessions
Y la pesadilla
and the nightmare
Que quiero olvidar
What do I want to forget?
Siento digo lo siento
I'm sorry I say I'm sorry
Ya encontraré mi mal
I will find my evil
Vivo siempre estoy vivo
I'm always alive I'm alive
Cuando me pongo a andar
When I start walking
Vuelvo a ser el primero
I'm the first again
En rodar por el suelo
rolling on the ground
Y volverlo a intentar
and try again
Traigo mis confesiones
I bring my confessions
Y la pesadilla
and the nightmare
Que quiero olvidar
What do I want to forget?
Quiero olvidar
I want to forget
Did you know?
