El Pato Nada

Sometimes the duck swims
Sometimes it doesn't even drink water
And don't get upset, friends
Times come and go
Sometimes you have a lot
Sometimes you have nothing

It's nice to have everything
Women, money, and friends
But if you have nothing
How are you going to get it?
As much as you have, that's how much you're worth
Says a well-known saying

The world turns a lot
You have to know how to endure
The blows that life gives
You must bear them
Even if the boat tilts
Don't let yourself drown

I remember times back then
When everything was different
Everyone treated me well
Maybe because I was influential
Maybe because they valued me
Or maybe because of the bills

The Virgin of Guadalupe
And the image of Malverde
They watch over me from all sides
Even if death doesn't come
Because there are many envious ones
Who don't want to see me alive

The world turns a lot
You have to know how to endure
The blows that life gives
You must bear them
Even if the boat tilts
Don't let yourself drown
