These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Yo no soy de rancho
I'm not from the ranch
soy de la jungla de asfalto
I'm from the concrete jungle
yo no usé huaraches
I did not wear sandals
pero nunca tuve para un buen par de zapatos.
but I never had for a good pair of shoes.
Yo crecí con deudas
I grew up in debt
con un cartoncito a mi fiaban en la tienda
with a little cardboard they trusted me in the store
yo nunca he soñado
I have never dreamed
aquí en la ciudad nunca se miran las estrellas.
here in the city you never look at the stars.
Aquí no hay caballos hay camiones
Here there are no horses, there are trucks
jalas como burro y sigues pobre
you pull like a donkey and you're still poor
el hambre se calma con un pan
hunger is calmed with bread
pero no las ilusiones.
but not the illusions.
Yo no soy ranchero
I am not a rancher
soy solo un prieto ordinario
I'm just an ordinary black
vivo con coraje
I live with courage
por que los que pueden
why those who can
siempre pisan al de abajo
they always step on the bottom
no acabé la escuela
I didn't finish school
me ha faltado suerte
I have lacked luck
y no lo digo con vergÜenza
and I do not say it with shame
siempre le he chingado
I have always fucked him
pa´que mi familia nunca pasé
so my family never passed
así como yo viven millones
millions live just like me
pero tengo fe en mis oraciones
but i have faith in my prayers
una caguamita y a jetear
a caguamita and jetear
por qué aquí no hay vacaciones
Why are there no holidays here?
