El Terror Lyrics in English Los Alegres Del Barranco

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song El Terror by Los Alegres Del Barranco from Spanish to English.
Me encasillaron por malo
They branded me bad
Porque defiendo lo mío
Because I defend what's mine
Soy hombre que piensa en grande
I'm a man that thinks big
Pues he trabajado
Well, I've worked
Desde que era niño
Since I was a kid
Mi libertad vale oro
My freedom's worth gold
Por eso trocé el mecate
That's why I cut the rope
Ahora me van achacando
Now they're blaming me
Todos los destrozos
For all the wreckage
Que los perros hacen
That the dogs make
Dios me dotó un gran cerebro
God gifted me a great brain
Y yo lo he desarrollado
And I've developed it
No tengo ningún diploma
I don't have any diploma
Yo no soy doctor, maestro ni abogado
I am not a doctor, teacher, or lawyer
Pero me siento orgulloso
But I feel proud
De ser lo que soy
To be what I am
Y hasta dónde he llegado
And how far I've come
Tengo un corazón muy bueno
I have a very good heart
Bueno para los que quiero
Good for the ones I love
Pero pa' mis enemigos yo soy el terror
But for my enemies I am the terror
Y también pa'l gobierno
And also for the government
Dicen que van agarrarme
They say that they're going to catch me
Miren cómo estoy temblando
Look how I'm trembling
Ya saben dónde encontrarme
They already know where to find me
Que vengan por mí los marinos y guachos
Let the marines and soldiers come for me
Más vale mañas que fuerza
Cleverness beats strength
Y eso a mí me ha funcionado
And that has worked for me
Las águilas vuelan alto
The eagles fly high
Mientras que los sapos
While the toads
Siguen en los charcos
Stay in the puddles
