Below, I translated the lyrics of the song El Compa Lako by Los Alegres Del Barranco from Spanish to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Nació pobre y no es delito
He was born poor and it is not a crime
El compa Lako lo dijo

Que le tocó batallar
That she had to fight
Así han nacido los grandes

La necesidad y el hambre

Te hacen salirle a buscar
They make you go looking for him
Aquel tiempo ya es historia

El que no arriesga no logra
He who does not risk he does not achieve
Salir del hoyo en que está
Get out of the hole he's in
Pa' poder tener billetes
To be able to have tickets
Hay que ser inteligente

Y saber bien trabajar

70 años en la cárcel
