Es mi orgullo haber nacido

En el barrio más humilde

Alejado del bullicio
Away from the hustle and bustle
Y de la falsa sociedad

Yo no tengo la desgracia

De no ser hijo del pueblo
Of not being a son of the people
Yo me cuento entre la gente

Que no tiene falsedad

Mi destino es muy parejo

Yo lo quiero como venga
I want it as it comes
Soportando una tristeza

O detrás de una ilusión

Yo camino de la vida

Voy feliz con mi pobreza

Como no tengo dinero

Descendiente de Cuauhtémoc

Desdichado en los amores

Pa' que el pueblo me las cante

Y el día que el pueblo me falle
