Below, I translated the lyrics of the song La Mata Esta Dando by Ovi from Spanish to English.
Verse 1
Recogiendo a diario, la mata está dando
Collecting daily, the bush is giving
Los que no creyeron me la están pelando
Those who did not believe are beating me
Gracias a mi madre que sigue rezando
Thanks to my mother who continues to pray
Pa' que yo esté bien
So that I am well
Verse 1
En carros de lujo me la he navegado
I have navigated it in luxury cars
Y me mantengo muy humilde y respetado
And I remain very humble and respected
Puro con los puros y con lo que han estado
Pure with the pure and with what they have been
Aquí estamos al cien
Here we are at one hundred
Sé que tal vez no le gusto a dos o tres
I know maybe two or three don't like me
Porque quisieran tener lo que ahora mismo yo tengo
Because they would like to have what I have right now
Yo no sé si mañana en este mundo yo estaré
I don't know if tomorrow in this world I will be
Por eso lo último que pierdo es la fe
That's why the last thing I lose is faith
Puro pa' adelante y nunca me detengo
Pure forward and I never stop
Así suena el Ovi, pa'
This is how the Ovi sounds, pa'
Verse 2
Sangre de toro de Lidia es la que me corre por las venas
Lidia's bull's blood is what runs through my veins
La gente está pendiente siempre pa' las desgracias ajenas
People are always on the lookout for other people's misfortunes
En boca cerrada nunca entran moscas, la lengua condena
Flies never enter a closed mouth, the tongue condemns
Siempre en lo mío, no meto narices en otros problemas
Always in my business, I don't poke my nose into other problems
Honra a tu madre y siempre te irá bien, eso decía la abuela
Honor your mother and you will always be well, that's what grandma used to say
Lo que aprendí me lo enseñó la vida, eso no fue la escuela
What I learned was taught to me by life, that was not school
Altas y bajas, la vida da vueltas como una rueda
Ups and downs, life turns like a wheel
A mi Dios siempre le encargo porque me mantego en la polvareda
I always entrust my God because I stay in the dust
