El Primo

They call me the cousin and I'm from Guerrero
From a small ranch stuck to the mountains

They call me the cousin and I'm from Guerrero
From a small ranch stuck to the mountains
Being a hot-head is my pride
And at 14 I crossed the border

Since I was very young, I worked very hard
I was very poor, I'll never forget it
I suffered a thousand actions and many slights
Today, thanks to God, things have changed

I don't have friends because I don't buy them
And from the heart, I help my people
If there's an interested party, I don't turn away
Because to rob you, they come at you differently

I don't have extra, but I don't lack
Working hard for what I have
I thank my dear mother
Because she takes care of me while being so far away

I have my family, my wife, and my children
Who are the most precious in this life
I continue to be humble and very respectful
Because that's what my parents taught me

I bid you farewell, take this advice
For all those who have a peso
Respect the poor so you'll be respected
Life takes turns, never forget that
