El Nery Lyrics in English Lenin Ramírez
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song El Nery by Lenin Ramírez from Spanish to English.
Fui muy pobre cuando niño no había nada
I was very poor as a child, there was nothing
Solo una necesidad que nos mandaba el destino
Just a necessity that destiny sent us
A mis padres agradezco lo que hicieron
I thank my parents for what they did
Y me dieron en la vida por ellos me abrí camino
And they gave me in life because of them I made my way
Pues ya no aguanté la vida que llevaba
Well, I couldn't stand the life I was leading
Ellos mucho trabajaban también sufrieron bastante
They worked a lot and also suffered a lot
Como pude yo me salí de mi casa
How could I, I left my house?
Aunque solo era un chiquillo logré salir adelante
Even though I was just a little boy, I managed to get ahead
Las fronteras conocía ya por mi infancia
I already knew the borders from my childhood
Me gustaba la vagancia solo tenía 15 años
I liked laziness I was only 15 years old
Me crucé pa'l otro lado de la barda
I crossed over to the other side of the fence
Empecé a rifar mi suerte en el lado americano
I started to raffle my luck on the American side
Trabajando desde abajo como todos
Working from below like everyone
Con los chuecos ya ni modo no nos quedaba otra cosa
With the crooks there was no way we had anything else left
Fui subiendo poco a poco a mi manera
I went up little by little in my own way
Siempre siendo bien derecho y pensando bien las cosas
Always being very straight and thinking things through
Casi 20 años duré en el otro lado
I lasted almost 20 years on the other side
Sin regresar a mi estado y sin mirar a mis viejos
Without returning to my state and without looking at my parents
Con un nudo en la garganta viví siempre
I always lived with a lump in my throat
Los que estaban creciendo ellos se encontraban lejos
Those who were growing were far away
A mi madre ya no pude yo mirarle
I could no longer look at my mother
Ay que tristeza tan grande ella se encuentra en el cielo
Oh how great sadness she is in heaven
Se que desde arriba siempre va a cuidarme
I know that from above he will always take care of me
Yo nunca voy a olvidarme de todito sus consejos
I will never forget all your advice
Y aunque no viva con sus hijos viejo
And even if he doesn't live with his old children
Sabemos que siempre los llevo en su mente
We know that I always carry them in my mind
Y puro pa' delante ayayay
And just ahead ayayay
Y ya despues de tanto tiempo en otro lado
And after so much time somewhere else
Cuando regresé a mi tierra casi me andaban matando
When I returned to my land they were almost killing me
Por falsas acusaciones en mi contra
For false accusations against me
Una raza en Mexicali y el gobierno reventaron
A race in Mexicali and the government burst
Era mucho el dinero que se llevaron
There was a lot of money they took
Los dueños se imaginaron que yo tenia que ver algo
The owners figured I had to see something
Pero es claro el que no debe nada teme
But it is clear that he who owes nothing fears
Gracias a Dios y alguien grande en libertad me dejaron
Thank God and someone great in freedom they left me
Siempre he sido muy derecho y es por eso
I have always been very straight and that is why
Que la gente a mi me aprecia y la vida me ha premiado
That people appreciate me and life has rewarded me
Lo que tengo lo he ganado con esfuerzo
What I have I have earned with effort
Con el sudor de mi frente yo no ocupo andar robando
With the sweat of my brow I don't have to go around stealing
Soy una persona seria no corriente
I am a serious non-ordinary person
Mi vicio son las mujeres también las peleas de gallos
My vice is women, also cockfights
En mis ratos libres me paseo en las vegas
In my free time I walk in Las Vegas
En el hotel César Palaza y me miran disfrutando
At the César Palaza hotel and they look at me enjoying
Saludos para el beño de la 21
Greetings for the beño of the 21st
También pa' mi compa compo sabe que estamos al 100
Also for my friend, he knows that we are 100%
A mi padre yo le mando un fuerte abrazo
I send my father a big hug
Todo lo que se le ofrezca yo siempre estare para el
Everything that is offered to him, I will always be there for him
Mientras Dios nos preste vida pa' delante
As long as God gives us life ahead
Seguiremos trabajando y echandole muchas ganas
We will continue working and looking forward to it
Se despide el companeri de Culichi
Culichi's colleague says goodbye
Y un saludo pa' la gente de Allá Adiós Maja Nebraska
And greetings to the people of There Goodbye Maja Nebraska
