El Hijo Del Pueblo
Enrique Bunbury
The Son of the People
It's my pride to have been born
In the humblest neighborhood
Away from the noise of false society
I didn't have the misfortune
Of not being a son of the people
I don't belong among the people
Who are fake
Destiny is very fair
And I want it as it comes
Enduring sadness
Or chasing an illusion
I'm on the path of life
Very happy with my poverty
Since I don't have money, I have a lot of heart
Descendant of Cuahutemoc
Mexican by fortune
Unlucky in love
I'm a drunkard and troubadour
But how many millionaires
Would want to live my life
To sing to poverty
Without feeling any fear
That's why I'm proud
To be from the humblest neighborhood
Away from the noise of false society
I compose my songs
For the people to sing them
And the day the people fail me
That day I will cry
