Below, I translated the lyrics of the song El Gordo by Lenin Ramírez from Spanish to English.
Me presento soy El Gordo
I introduce myself, I'm El Gordo
Soy del mero Guatemala
I'm from the very Guatemala
Andamos en el trabajo
We're out there working
Generando los billetes para darnos nuestros lujos
Generating the bills to give ourselves our luxuries
También pa' ayudar la raza
Also to help out the people
Yo también vengo de abajo
I also come from the bottom
Aunque empecé de muy joven
Even though I started very young
Siempre he sido cuidadoso
I've always been careful
Soy un hombre de respeto
I'm a man of respect
Traigo muy buenos consejos de quien me sacó de pobre
I bring very good advice from the one who got me out of poverty
La vida da muchas vueltas
Life takes many turns
Y hoy me siento agradecido
And today I feel grateful
Con la gente que me apoya
To the people who support me
El Ojos y los muchachos están al millón conmigo
El Ojos and the boys are a million with me
Le mando un abrazo al primo
I send a hug to my cousin
Le mando un abrazo al primo
I send a hug to my cousin
Mis respetos pa' mi socio
My respects to my partner
Siempre vamos pa' delante
We always move forward
Con los pies sobre la tierra
With our feet on the ground
Firmes en este negocio
Steadfast in this business
Y hasta Guatemala, viejón
And even to Guatemala, old man
Y así suena mi compa Luis R Conríquez, viejo, ajay
And that's how my buddy Luis R Conríquez sounds, old man, ajay
Y porque las cosas no son como ayer, compa Lenin Ramírez
And because things are not like yesterday, buddy Lenin Ramírez
Nunca disfrutó su infancia
He never enjoyed his childhood
Pues de lleno entró al trabajo
As he dove straight into work
Siempre le echó muchas ganas
He always put in a lot of effort
Para salir adelante y ayudar a su gente
To get ahead and help his people
Y al final pudo lograrlo
And in the end, he was able to achieve it
Su familia es lo primero
His family comes first
Siempre es lo más importante
It's always the most important thing
Su esposa y también su hija
His wife and also his daughter
Las ama con toda el alma
He loves them with all his soul
Y siente un dolor muy profundo por la ausencia de su madre
And he feels a deep pain for the absence of his mother
Aunque a habido muchos golpes
Even though there have been many setbacks
El señor va pa' delante
The man keeps moving forward
Aveces lo ven tomando
Sometimes they see him drinking
Con whiskito del 18
With an 18-year-old whiskey
Con los mejores artistas cerquita del río Suchiate
With the best artists close to the Suchiate River
Siempre disfrutando en grande
Always enjoying greatly
Eso sí sin descuidarse
But without neglecting himself
Se despide el compa Gordo con su escuadra
El Gordo says goodbye with his squad
Cachas de oro listas para detonarse
Golden handles ready to go off
