Below, I translated the lyrics of the song El Rey by Vicente Fernández from Spanish to English.
Yo sé bien que estoy afuera
I know very well that I'm out there
Pero el día que yo me muera
But the day I die
Sé que tendrás que llorar
I know you'll have to cry
Dirás que no me quisiste
You'll say you didn't love me
Pero vas a estar muy triste
But you'll be very sad
Y así te me vas a quedar
And this is how you'll stay with me
Con dinero y sin dinero
With money and without money
Yo hago siempre lo que quiero
I always do what I want
Y mi palabra es la ley
And my word is the law
No tengo trono ni reina
I have no throne or queen
Ni nadie que comprenda
Nor anyone who understands
Pero sigo siendo el rey
But I'm still the king
Una piedra en el camino
A stone in the road
Me enseñó que mi destino
Taught me that my destiny
Era rodar y rodar
Was to roll and roll
También me dijo un arriero
A muleteer also told me
Que no hay que llegar primero
That you don't have to arrive first
Pero hay que saber llegar
But you have to know how to arrive
Con dinero y sin dinero
With money and without money
Yo hago siempre lo que quiero
I always do what I want
Y mi palabra es la ley
And my word is the law
No tengo trono ni reina
I have no throne or queen
Ni nadie quien comprenda
Nor anyone who understands
Pero sigo siendo el rey
But I'm still the king
