Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Humilde De Abolengo by LOS DOS DE TAMAULIPAS from Spanish to English.
Cuando era niño, antes no tenía nada
When I was a child, I didn't have anything before
Ahora, la vida se ha portado diferente
Now, life has treated me differently
Me ha dado cosas que jamás pensé tenerlas
It has given me things that I never thought I would have
Soy hombre serio, una persona influyente
I am a serious man, an influential person
Le di a mi madre un porvenir y un buen presente
I gave my mother a future and a good present
Dejé muy claro que soy un hombre decente
I made it clear that I am a decent man
Ella me dio algo que jamás podré pagarle
She gave me something that I can never repay
Me dio la vida y esa no la compra nadie
She gave me life and no one can buy that
Nací con hambre de algún día superarme
I was born with the hunger to surpass myself someday
Si a algo le tiras, un día tienes que pegarle
If you throw something at it, one day you have to hit it
Poco a poquito, fui escalando en esta vida
Little by little, I climbed in this life
Nadie ha podido ser amigo de la ruina
No one has been able to be a friend of ruin
Tengo negocios que con ellos me mantengo
I have businesses that sustain me
Para qué creerme si yo sé de dónde vengo
Why should I believe in myself if I know where I come from
La sencillez es la que me ha dado el respeto
Simplicity is what has earned me respect
Y la humildad, esa la traigo de abolengo
And humility, I come from a noble lineage
Yo soy nativo de un ranchito entre la sierra
I am native to a little ranch in the mountains
Entre barrancos, entre brechas y entre piedras
Among ravines, among trails and among stones
Ahí me enseñé a dar mis primeros pasos
There I learned to take my first steps
Mientras mi madre, me tomaba de la mano
While my mother held my hand
Las injusticias de la vida he superado
I have overcome the injustices of life
Porque al trabajo, yo jamás me le he rajado
Because I have never backed down from work
Aquí seguimos, trabajando día con día
Here we are, working day by day
Para que no le falte, nada a la familia
So that the family lacks nothing
A una persona le agradezco su confianza
I am grateful to a person for their trust
Por sus consejos y también sus enseñanzas
For their advice and also their teachings
A ese hombre, le tengo mucho respeto
I have a lot of respect for that man
Nunca se olvide de lo mucho que lo quiero
Never forget how much I love him
Mando un abrazo para toda la manada
Sending a hug to the whole gang
Tengo el carácter para hacer lo que plazca
I have the character to do as I please
Nunca se olviden cuando hay vida, hay esperanza
Never forget that where there is life, there is hope
Y un hombre vale lo que vale su palabra
And a man is worth as much as his word
