Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Rey Sin Palacio by Vicente Fernández from Spanish to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Es de barro y dolor mi corona
My crown is made of mud and pain
Me desprecia la fuerza del oro
The strength of gold despises me
Sin palacio ni amor ni fortuna
No palace, no love, no fortune
Yo soy rey para el bar en que lloro
I am king for the bar where I cry
He mirado a las torres del mundo
I have looked at the towers of the world
Ir cayendo en pedazos al suelo
Go falling to pieces to the ground
La pobreza es abismo profundo
Poverty is deep abyss
Pero se halla cerquita del cielo
But it's close to heaven
Todo el mundo me grita: '¡Plebeyo!'
Everybody yells at me: 'Commoner!'
Con desprecios me cubre la frente
With scorn covers my forehead
Pero el sol no se oculta en mi reino
But the sun does not set in my kingdom
A pesar de lo que hable la gente
Despite what people say
¡Soy el rey de la pobreza!
I am the king of poverty!
Pero en mi alma no hay orgullo
But in my soul there is no pride
Y mucho menos tristeza
and much less sadness
Soy un rey que nació sin palacio
I am a king who was born without a palace
Para mí la desgracia es riqueza
For me misfortune is wealth
Si me ven por las calles llorando
If they see me in the streets crying
Es que llevo en la sangre nobleza
It's that I carry nobility in my blood
Todo el mundo me grita: '¡Plebeyo!'
Everybody yells at me: 'Commoner!'
Con desprecios me cubre la frente
With scorn covers my forehead
Pero el sol no se oculta en mi reino
But the sun does not set in my kingdom
A pesar de lo que hable la gente
Despite what people say
