Below, I translated the lyrics of the song El Rey Pobre by Los Dos De Tamaulipas from Spanish to English.
Cuando sientas cansada la vida y odies a ese hombre
When you feel tired life and hate that man
Y si acaso te queda memoria recuérdame a mí
And if you have memory remind me of me
Que te sigue esperando con ansias siempre este rey pobre
That this poor king is still waiting for you always
Que vendió hasta el palacio por verte dichosa y feliz
Who sold to the palace to see you happy and happy
Porque yo no compre tu pobreza, ni tu amor, ni tus besos
Because I do not buy your poverty, or your love, or your kisses
Por amarte con toda mi vida y con palabra de rey
For loving you with all my life and with a king's word
Mi fortuna la puse en tus manos y con ella te fuiste
My fortune put her in your hands and with her you left
Y a un rey pobre dejaste con ganas de volverte a ver
And to a poor king you left wanting to see you again
Un rey pobre llorando día y noche veras por las calles sufriendo de amor
A poor king crying day and night you will see the streets suffering from love
Y sus ojos mirando un retrato sin decirle a nadie cual es su dolor
And his eyes looking at a portrait without telling anyone what his pain is
Si se caen las torres más altas por eso un rey pobre por amor quedo
If the highest towers fall, that's why a poor king for love was
Porque yo no compré tu pobreza, ni tu amor, ni tus besos
Because I did not buy your poverty, or your love, or your kisses
Por amarte con toda mi vida y con palabra de rey
For loving you with all my life and with a king's word
Mi fortuna la puse en tus manos y con ella te fuiste
My fortune put her in your hands and with her you left
Y a un rey pobre dejaste con ganas de volverte a ver
And to a poor king you left wanting to see you again
Un rey pobre llorando día y noche veras por las calles sufriendo de amor
A poor king crying day and night you will see the streets suffering from love
Y sus ojos mirando un retrato sin decirle a nadie cual es su dolor
And his eyes looking at a portrait without telling anyone what his pain is
Si se caen las torres mas altas por eso un rey pobre por amor quedo
If the highest towers fall, that's why a poor king for love was
