Pal Jefe Lyrics in English Lupillo Rivera
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Pal Jefe by Lupillo Rivera from Spanish to English.
De que me presumes rico vanidoso
Why do you boast, rich and vain
Si somos iguales
If we are the same
Si aun con tu dinero tambien tienes penas
If even with your money you also have sorrows
Tambien tienes males
You also have troubles
Para ti tu riqueza ante tu tristesa
For you, your wealth in front of your sadness
No te vuelve inmune y a mi la pobreza
Doesn't make you immune and to me poverty
Con los de mi clase mas y mas me une
With those of my class, more and more unites me
Tu estilo de vida la presion te aumenta
Your lifestyle, the pressure increases
Y te quita la calma
And takes away your calm
Yo vivo tranquilo con la pena en el pecho
I live peacefully with sorrow in my chest
Y paz en el alma
And peace in my soul
Tu tienes empleados que por unos pesos
You have employees who for a few pesos
La espalda te cuidan
Watch your back
Y yo tengo amigos que sin ni un centavo
And I have friends who without a penny
Dan por mi la vida
Would give their life for me
Tu casa es enorme pero se termina
Your house is huge but it ends
Donde esta la barda
Where is the fence
Y yo tengo un monte que no lo recorro
And I have a mountain that I don't explore
Ni en varias semanas
Not even in several weeks
Tu para refrescarte tienes una alberca
You have a pool to refresh yourself
De agua cristalina
With crystal clear water
El rio en que me baño no se donde empieza
The river where I bathe, I don't know where it starts
Ni donde termina
Nor where it ends
Malgastas tu tiempo y descuidas tu vida
You waste your time and neglect your life
Por buscar fortuna
In search of fortune
Mientras yo disfruto cantando a la noche
While I enjoy singing at night
Y a la luz de la luna
And in the moonlight
Vives angustiado pensando que puedan
You live in anguish thinking that
Caer tus finanzas
Your finances might fall
Yo al cielo bendigo si en el dia que vivo
I bless the sky if in the day I live
Pa'comer me alcansa
It's enough for me to eat
Te duermes soñando aullar las sirenas
You fall asleep dreaming of howling sirens
Siguiendo a los pillos cuando a mi me
Following the crooks when what lulls me
Arruya la noche serena y el canto del grillo
Is the serene night and the cricket's song
Pones 10 alarmas y a la media noche
You set 10 alarms and at midnight
Te levantas temblando despiertas
You wake up trembling
Yo duermo tranquilo de pierna tirante
I sleep peacefully with legs stretched out
Y con la puerta abierta
And the door open
Date cuenta de eso que aunque tengas
Realize that even if you have
Oro y yo tenga cobre
Gold and I have copper
Fija te por dentro di quien es el rico
Look inside and say who is the rich one
Y quien es el pobre
And who is the poor one
Si el dia de la muerte
On the day of death
Cuando alla en la tumba
When in the grave
Nuestro cuerpo enpolven
Our bodies turn to dust
Ya no va a aber nada que a mi me haga falta
There will be nothing I lack
Ni que a ti te sobre
Nor anything you have in excess
