El Consentido
Joan Sebastian
The Favorite
From Chiapas to Tijuana
Truly, men are born
I could talk about a dozen
But I don't want you to be surprised
I'd rather send them greetings
And keep the names to myself
In Guerrero was born the buddy
Who today deserves the corrido
Very brave, nothing crooked
God's favorite
Maybe because he's a good guy
And doesn't show off
On a good horse
Or wooing his beloved
He knows how to enjoy his life
Sometimes, threatened
And he thanks heaven
That has not denied him anything
I don't sing to bullies
Nor do I sing to braggarts
It's good to have money
But listen to me for two reasons
It's better to have friends
And wear your pants well
That's what the buddy thinks too
Who today deserves the corrido
Very brave, nothing crooked
God's favorite
Maybe because he's a good guy
And doesn't show off
On a good horse
Or wooing his beloved
He knows how to enjoy his life
Sometimes, threatened
And he thanks heaven
That has not denied him anything
On a good horse
Or wooing his beloved
He knows how to enjoy his life
Sometimes, threatened
And he thanks heaven
That has not denied him anything
