Poderoso Caballero Es Don Dinero

Mother, I humble myself to gold,
He is my lover and my beloved,
For being so in love
He is always yellow;
For whether a doubloon or a penny,
He does everything I want,
Powerful gentleman
Is Sir Money.

He is born honored in the Indies
Where the world accompanies him;
He comes to die in Spain
And is buried in Genoa;
And since whoever brings him by his side
Is handsome even if he is fierce,
Powerful gentleman
Is Sir Money.

He is gallant and is like gold;
He has a broken color,
Person of great value,
As Christian as Moor;
For he gives and takes away dignity
And breaks any law,
Powerful gentleman
Is Sir Money.

His parents are important,
And he is of noble descent,
Because in the veins of the East
All bloodlines are royal;
And since he makes equal
The duke and the rancher,
Powerful gentleman
Is Sir Money.

But who is not amazed
To see in his boundless glory
That the least of his household
Is Lady Blanca of Castile?
But since he gives to the lowly
And makes the coward a warrior,
Powerful gentleman
Is Sir Money.

His noble coat of arms
Are always so important,
That without his royal coat of arms
There are no double coat of arms;
And since even the oaks
Are coveted by his miner,
Powerful gentleman
Is Sir Money.

For his importance in business
And giving such good advice,
In the houses of the elderly
Cats guard him from cats;
And since he breaks restraints
And softens the strictest judge,
Powerful gentleman
Is Sir Money.

And his majesty is such,
Although his sorrows are many,
That even having been quartered,
He does not lose his authority;
But since he gives status
To the noble and the beggar,
Powerful gentleman
Is Sir Money.

I have never seen ungrateful ladies
To his taste and affection,
Who for the faces of a doubloon
Make their faces cheap;
And since he makes the bravest boasts
From a leather purse,
Powerful gentleman
Is Sir Money.

In any land they are worth more
Look how clever he is,
His coat of arms in peace,
Than shields in war;
And since he buries the poor
And makes the stranger his own,
Powerful gentleman
Is Sir Money.
