Gracias Lyrics in English Tego Calderón

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Gracias by Tego Calderón from Spanish to English.
Hey
Hey
¿Donde estaban cuando más falta me hacían?
Where were you when I needed you most?
Ni siquiera una llamada
Not even a call
Ni siquiera me escribían
Not even a call
Se dan golpes de pecho por el parentesco
They didn't even write to me
Pero mandan más papas si más merezco
They beat their chests because of family ties
Yo sabía que esto venía
But they send more potatoes if I deserve more
Por eso insistía
I knew this was coming
Aunque sufría, mañana será mi día me decía
That's why I persisted
Que bien se siente, sentir el cariño de mi gente
Even though I suffered, tomorrow will be my day, I told myself
De mi isla y lugares adyacentes
How good it feels to feel the love of my people
Tengo una familia inmensa ahora
From my island and surrounding places
Que está conmigo a todas horas
I have a huge family now
Que me vigila y que me aconseja de cora'
That's with me at all times
Que habla de frente las verdades y las mentiras
That watches over me and gives me heartfelt advice
Que si estoy pegao' me apoyan
That speaks truths and lies straight
Y si no sirvo me tiran
That supports me when I'm successful
Gracias a los barrios y los caseríos
Thank you, damn it, thank you
Por apoyar lo que yo hago, por ser de los míos
Thanks to the neighborhoods and the housing projects
Gracias al publico en general que me apoya
For supporting what I do, for being one of me
Gracias, declaro
Hey, and to the general public who supports me
Gracias, puñeta, gracias
Thank you, I declare
Gracias a los barrios y los caseríos
Thank you, damn it, thank you
Por apoyar lo que yo hago, por ser de los míos
Thanks to the neighborhoods and the housing projects
Gracias al publico en general que me apoya
For supporting what I do, for being one of me
Gracias, declaro
Hey, and to the general public who supports me
Gracias, puñeta, gracias
Thank you, I declare
Por permitirme lograr el sueño de mi vida
Thank you, damn it, thank you
Y con letras mantenerle un hogar pa' mi hija
For allowing me to achieve my life's dream
Desahogarme
And to keep it going with lyrics A home for my daughter
Y de algún modo olvidarme de cosas que creo
To vent
Y debo callarme
And somehow forget about things I think
Gracias a los niños por tanto cariño
And should keep quiet about
Los llevo, y si te están maltratando comunícate con Tego
Thanks to the children for so much love
Gracias a todos los que me emplearon
I'll take them, and if you're being mistreated, contact Tego
Que me vieron jodido y me dieron la mano, mi hermano
Thanks to everyone who employed me
Yo he hecho to' tipo de trabajo
Who saw me struggling and gave me a hand, my brother
Y ahora gracias a ustedes no doy un tajo
I've done all kinds of work
Yo llevo diez años tratando, to' el mundo pichando
And now thanks to you, I don't have to work a day
Y ahora que estoy pegando me están tirando
I've been trying for ten years, everyone's been giving me a hard time
Gracias a los que en mi contra están conspirando
And now that I'm succeeding, they're tearing me down
Difamando, nombre dañando
Thanks to those who are conspiring against me
Gracias a los envidiosos, a los carchanchanes
Slandering, damaging my name
A los pirateros, a los bacatranes
Thanks to the envious, the gossips
Gracias a Latinoamérica entera
To the pirates, the thugs
Gracias a mis viejos
Thanks to all of Latin America
Gracias a Milo Rivera
Thanks to my parents
Gracias Rebeca, Ebony y Kenya
Thanks to Milo Rivera
Gracias a las prietas, las blancas y las trigueñas
Thanks to Rebeca, Ebony, and Kenya
Gracias gobierno, por robarnos tanto
Thanks to the dark-skinned, the light-skinned, and the light-skinned
Y cada cuatro años vestirse de santo
Thanks to the government, for robbing us so much
Gracias a los tribunales por tener dos barra
And every four years dressing up as saints
Y hacer de la justicia una cosa cara
Thanks to the courts for having two bar
Gracias al manda más, que la inspiración me da
And make justice expensive
Y a los abrayardes que todas van
Thanks to the boss, who gives me inspiration

Y al que me pirateo, papi
Thank you, damn it, thank you
Te llevaste uno, dos, tres en la cara
And to the one who ripped me off, papi
Pa' que sepas como es
You got one, two, three in the face
De parte del Abayarde, papi
So you know how it is
Oye, yo no juego, este negro sí que
From Abayarde, papi
Es a fuego, papi
Hey, I don't play around, this guy's the real deal
Oye, pa' que respete
He's on fire, papi
Oye, ¿pa' qué, pa' qué tú te mete'?
Hey, so you learn some respect
Si no tienes lo que toma, cógelo a broma
Hey, why, why are you getting involved?
Ando con Echo, metiendo cara contra el seto
I’m rolling with Echo, facing whoever blocks us
Pa' que sepa que yo sí que le meto
If you don't have what it takes, just take it as a joke
Afueguete
I'm with Echo, sticking my nose in the hedge
Oye, nos fuimos algarete
So you know I really hit it hard
Yo creía que tú sabías ya de este negro loco
Heavy fire
Yo creía que tú sabía de mí
Hey, we went wild
Saludando a mi gente de allá de Loiza
I thought you already knew about this crazy guy
Pa' que sepan, que en verdad me encoleriza
I thought you knew about me
Ando sin prisa, pero tu lentitud me intoleriza
Sending a shout-out to my people from Loiza
Eso es lo que pasa
So they know, it really pisses me off
Oye, nunca joda' con mi grasa pá'
I'm not in a hurry, but your slowness infuriates me
Este es Tego Calde, otra vez, pa' que sepan como es
That's what happens
Oye
Hey, never mess with my crew
Tú no habías visto antes nadie como yo, yo sé que tú no
This is Tego Calderón, again, so you know what it's like
Yo sé que no
Hey
¿Entonces pa' que va a frontear conmigo, canto de cabrón?
You haven't seen anyone like me before, I know you haven't
Es el Tego Calderon
I know you haven't
El hijo de la gran puta en el microphone
So why are you going to front on me, you son of a bitch?
No te meta a mono
Don’t go ape
Que yo siempre ando solo
It's Tego Calderon
Y como quiera los descojono
The son of a bitch on the microphone
Nos fuimos a fuego Echo
Don't mess with me
Córtalo pa'l carajo
Because I'm always alone
