Below, I translated the lyrics of the song El Rico Pobre by Los Dos Carnales from Spanish to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Dicen que el vicio asesino, acaba con los humanos
They say that murderous vice kills humans
Que me traigan más tequila, y al rato todos pagamos
Bring me more tequila, and after a while we all pay
Para qué me cuido tanto, si de este mundo nos vamos
Why do I take care of myself so much, if we leave this world
Que me traigan un mariachi, y un conjunto norteño
That they bring me a mariachi, and a northern group
Cantinero no te rajes, ni digas que tienes sueño
Bartender do not give up, or say you are sleepy
Me gusta ver que amanezca, dice sonriendo un norteño
I like to see that dawn, says a northerner smiling
Yo quiero vivir tomando, no como aquel rico pobre
I want to live drinking, not like that poor rich
Que cuida mucho su lana, muy codo y no gasta el cobre
Who takes great care of his wool, very elbow and does not spend copper
Y el día que muera por algo, lo entierran pa que no estorbe
And the day he dies for something, they bury him so that he doesn't get in the way.
Traigan botellas de vino, cerveza de la mejor
Bring bottles of wine, beer of the best
Quiero gozar de lo bueno, mujeres al por mayor
I want to enjoy the good, wholesale women
El dinero hay que gastarlo, metalizado no estoy
The money has to be spent, metallic I'm not
A qué vienes a este mundo, si no se viene a gozar
What do you come to this world for, if you do not come to enjoy
Dinero nunca te llevas, en qué lo vas a gastar?
Money you never take, what are you going to spend it on?
Interpreta mi silencio, por puños va a derrochar
Interpret my silence, by fists will splurge
Yo quiero vivir tomando, no como aquel rico pobre
I want to live drinking, not like that poor rich
Que cuida mucho su lana, muy codo y no gasta el cobre
Who takes great care of his wool, very elbow and does not spend copper
Y el día que muera por algo, lo entierran pa que no estorbe
And the day he dies for something, they bury him so that he doesn't get in the way.
