El Rey
José Alfredo Jiménez
The King
I know well that I am outside
But the day I die
I know you will have to cry
Cry and cry, cry and cry
You will say you didn't love me
But you will be very sad
And that's how you will stay
With money or without money
I always do what I want
And my word is the law
I have no throne or queen
Or anyone who understands me
But I continue to be the king
A stone on the road
Taught me that my destiny
Was to roll and roll
Roll and roll, roll and roll
An old mule driver also told me
That it's not about arriving first
But knowing how to arrive
With money or without money
I always do what I want
And my word is the law
I have no throne or queen
Or anyone who understands me
But I continue to be the king
