And this is a bit of my life
And what I've lived
A good nature and knowing how to work
Little by little it's grown
The respect for my Alvarado, for being a loyal man
Very humble and simple
Life already hit me and though I was scared
And there was no escape
The little saint shielded me and Sulpano and here I am
And I thank you, Lady
And though I don't have much, well I do
It cost me hard work and a lot of effort
Shout out to my people
And to my dad, this goes up to heaven
And this one goes up to heaven, old man
Yeah!
And what can they tell me, if I was born with nothing
Humility isn't for complaining
You gotta hit life hard
And you'll see little by little, you get ahead
And even though I'm not there right now
Very soon they'll see me strolling through my streets
So the banda rumbles
The norteño and my toast, along with my friends
And though I don't have much, well I do
It cost me hard work and a lot of effort
Shout out to my people
And to my dad, this goes up to heaven

Blindo comes from the verb blindar, which means to shield or armor. It's a strong and somewhat uncommon word in everyday conversation, making it stand out.

In the context of the song, the lyric "La santita me blindo" (The little saint shielded me) suggests a powerful, almost miraculous protection from a difficult past. It evokes a sense of gratitude and resilience, hinting at a deeper story within the song.

"Mi Vida" is Luis Coronel looking back at where he started and giving credit for how far he's come. He opens with “Y esto es un poco de mi vida” (“And this is a bit of my life”), tracing a path built on hard work and staying humble rather than luck.

The heart of the song is gratitude: “Y a mi padre ahí le va hasta el cielo” (“And to my dad, this goes up to heaven”) dedicates the success straight to his father, and “La humildad no es para quejarse” (“Humility isn't for complaining”) sums up the attitude that got him there — keep your head down, work hard, and let the banda do the celebrating.
