Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Seguimos Bateando by Luis R Conriquez from Spanish to English.
Verse 1
Hay altas, también bajas
There are highs, and also lows
Los equis como todo
The X's like everything
De lo que sube baja
What goes up must come down
Y lo que no es pa' ti ni modo
And what's not for you, too bad
Yo vengo desde abajo
I come from below
Y sé lo que se siente
And I know what it feels like
Sin ni un peso en la bolsa
With not a penny in my pocket
Te humillaban y te ofenden
They humiliated and offended you
Pero me puse verga
But I got tough
Y aquí andamos chambeando
And here we are working
También traigo con queso
I also bring cheese
No ando humillando a la gente
I don't humiliate people
Y si me ven bateando
And if you see me batting
Yo no ando escatimando
I'm not holding back
Los que me han apoyado
Those who have supported me
Siempre los he alivianado
I have always helped them out
Y no ando de prepotente
And I'm not arrogant
Verse 2
Te llegan las envidias
Envy comes to you
Cuando ya andas bateando
When you're already batting
Se disfrazan de amigos
They disguise themselves as friends
Te terminan traicionando
And end up betraying you
Un tiempo estuve preso
I was in prison for a while
Y anduve analizando
And I was analyzing
Quien estuvo conmigo
Who was with me
Los demás los hice a un lado
I left the others behind
Y ahora me prendo un gallo
And now I light up a rooster
Porque ahorita ando libre
Because now I'm free
Junto toda mi gente
I'm with all my people
No me dejaron abajo
They didn't leave me behind
Y ahorita ando contento
And now I'm happy
Seguiremos bateando
We'll keep batting
Si jalo la bandona
If I pull the bandoneon
Que toque buenos corridos
Let it play good corridos
Para enfiestarnos un rato
To party for a while.
