Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Soy El Calentano by LOS DOS DE TAMAULIPAS from Spanish to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Desde muy chiquillo, le entro en el negocio
Since he was very little, he got into the business
Y siempre al amigo, el le da la mano
And he always extends a hand to his friend
Cuando estaba niño, anduvo descalzo
When he was a child, he went barefoot
Viene desde abajo y no hay por que negarlo
He comes from the bottom and there’s no reason to deny it
De allá de la sierra de tierra caliente
From there, from the hot land of the mountains
Orgulloso dice, yo soy calentando
Proudly he says, I am hot-blooded
Conoce de todo ya no hay quien le cuente
He knows about everything, there’s nothing anyone can tell him
Y las amistades ha seleccionado
And he has carefully chosen his friendships
Ayuda a la gente y sin intereses
He helps people without any self-interest
Pero como dije, viene desde abajo
But as I said, he comes from the bottom
Pero no le gusta, que le jueguen chueco
But he doesn’t like being played unfairly
Pues como enemigo, mejor ni jalarlo
Because as an enemy, it’s better not to provoke him
Cuerno de disco y una copa de oro
An antler disc and a golden cup
Las que lo protegen de algún mal habido
They protect him from any ill-intentioned person
Aunque el hombre es bueno, cabal y decente
Although the man is good, upright, and decent
Para los envidiosos trae arriba el tiro
For the envious, he raises his aim
Mejor no le busquen, por que trae su gente
Better not to look for trouble, because he has his people
Lista y preparada, para cualquier ruido
Ready and prepared for any commotion
Que toque la banda, también el norteño
Let the band play, also norteño music
Y ser calentando, junto a sus amigos
And to be hot-blooded, alongside his friends
Que se sirva vino y cerveza helada
May he serve wine and cold beer
Canciones bonitas y buenos corridos
Beautiful songs and good ballads
Ahí traigo unos gallos, apuesten muchachos
Here I bring some roosters, bet, guys
Huele amanecida, les dice el amigo
It smells like dawn, says the friend
Cuerno de disco y una copa de oro
An antler disc and a golden cup
Las que los protegen de algún mal habido
They protect them from any ill-intentioned person
Aunque el hombre es bueno, cabal y decente
Although the man is good, upright, and decent
Para los envidiosos trae arriba el tiro
For the envious, he raises his aim
Mejor no le busquen, por que trae su gente
Better not to look for trouble, because he has his people
Lista y preparada, para cualquier ruido
Ready and prepared for any commotion
