Los Benjamines Lyrics in English Los Dareyes De La Sierra

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Los Benjamines by Los Dareyes De La Sierra from Spanish to English.
Comprarme una Nissansita vieja
Buying an old Nissan
Fue mi sueño desde niño
It was my dream since I was a kid
Y tuve que ponerme al tiro
And I had to take action
La neta estaba jodido
The truth is, I was screwed
La mera neta pa
The truth is, pa
No voy a renegar del pasado
I'm not going to deny the past
Lo pasado ya pisado
The past is over
Y lo que importa es el presente
And what matters is the present
Ahora si tengo billetes
Now I have money
Porque cuando yo estaba morrillo
Because when I was a kid
Se me antojaba un gansito
I craved a goose
Y nomas pelaba los dientes
And I just bared my teeth
Aguas en los cachetes
Water in my cheeks
Pero las cosas cambiaron
But things changed
Y ahora todo es diferente
And now everything is different
Ahora tengo carros nuevos
Now I have new cars
Porque yo supe moverme
Because I knew how to move
Cuando tu no tienes nada
When you have nothing
Pues no hay nada que perder
Well, there's nothing to lose
Por eso le entre al negocio
That's why I got into the business
Y sin pensarla me arriesgue
And without thinking, I took a risk
Y de repente
And suddenly
Los Benjamines empezaron a llover
The Benjamins started to rain
Hubo caídas
There were falls
Pero gracias a Diosito la libre
But thank God I'm free
Y ahora si me sobran los amigos
And now I have plenty of friends
Pero cuando estaba ruino
But when I was broke
Muy pocos se me arrimaron
Very few approached me
Dos, tres perros me humillaron
Two, three dogs humiliated me
Pa tomar una cerveza helada
To have an ice-cold beer
Un tequila y un whiskito
A tequila and a whiskey
Con un buen aperitivo
With a good appetizer
Que toquen música en vivo
Play music I live
La super dorada en la cintura
The golden super around my waist
Para los que me critican
For those who criticize me
Y aquellos que me maldicen
And those who curse me
El de arriba me bendice
The one above blesses me
Que bonito les tape la jeta
How nice it is to hide their faces
Aquellos que decían
Those who said
Que yo siempre seria un Don Nadie
That I would always be a nobody
Y ahora me ven para arriba
And now they look at me from above
Varios años encerrado
Several years locked up
Pero ya estamos afuera
But we're out now
Allá adentro te das cuenta
In there you realize
Del amigo de a deveras
Of the true friend
Y seguimos
And we continue
Trabajando en lo que a mi me gusta hacer
Working on what I like to do
Yo soy el Felix
I am Felix
Gracias a Dios ahora si tengo pa' comer
Thank God now I have something to eat
