Mis Raíces Lyrics in English Los Dos Carnales
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Mis Raíces by Los Dos Carnales from Spanish to English.
Ando listo para trabajar
I'm ready to work
No tengo tiempo de enredarme
I don't have time to get tangled up
Menos andar con envidias
Much less to walk with envy
Si de frente me han de respetar
If they must respect me to my face
Y por la espalda han de ladrar
And bark behind my back
Debo saber que así es la vida
I must know that's how life is
Si nacimos entre chiva y vaca
If we were born among goats and cows
¿Para qué se me alucina?
Why do I imagine myself?
Caballero en personalidad
A gentleman in personality
Porque así me enseñó mi apá
Because that's how my dad taught me
Que no se me suba a la mente
Not to let it get to my head
De todas las cosas que dirás
Of all the things you'll say
Lo que sale de tu garganta
What comes out of your throat
Se sostiene con los dientes
Is held up by your teeth
Es por eso que no soy corriente
That's why I'm not ordinary
No agravian a los presentes
Don't offend those present
Somos de sombrero a gusto
We are comfortable in our hats
Ancho de huaraches y de rancho
Wide with sandals and from the ranch
Humildemente es el cimiento
Humbly is the foundation
Al tirante en calles empolvadas
With the strap on dusty streets
Con toda la chavalada
With all the young folks
Aterrados y contentos
Terrified and happy
Pero lo mejor de mis raíces
But the best of my roots
Es que nunca me avergüenzo
Is that I'm never ashamed
Y no se rajen chavalada, ua
And don't back down, young folks, ua
Puros Dos Carnales señores
Pure Two Brothers, gentlemen
Los cacales y caminos reales
The fields and real roads
Los canales y nogales
The canals and walnut trees
Fueron parte de mi libro
Were part of my story
No soy hombre de mucho pelear
I'm not one to fight much
Pero pa poderme cuidar
But to be able to take care of myself
Para eso me cargo un fierrito
That's why I carry a little iron
El respeto grande y buen amigo
Great respect and good friend
Y en caliente se los digo
And I'll tell you straight up
Yo nunca me atraso
I never fall behind
Somos hombres, no payasos
We are men, not clowns
Verdaderos rancheros y con modales
True ranchers with manners
Mis viejones muy bien me cuidaron
My elders took good care of me
Buena crianza me inculcaron
They instilled good upbringing in me
Mis respetos pa mis padres
My respects to my parents
También me dijeron 'ponte trucha
They also told me 'stay sharp
Si quieren hacerte males'
If they want to harm you'
Vuela, palomita
Fly, little dove
Tú que andas muy alineada
You who are very aligned
Ve y platícale a toda la chavalada
Go and tell all the young folks
El haber nacido en cuna humilde
Being born in humble beginnings
Es parte de la enseñanza
Is part of the lesson
Nomás pa que se pongan la pila
Just so those who deny their race get motivated
Los que niegan a su raza
Those who deny their race
