El Hijo Del Pueblo

It's my pride to have been born
in the humblest neighborhood
away from the hustle
and the fake society

I am not unlucky
not to be a son of the people
I count myself among the people
who have no falsehood

My destiny is very even
I want it as it comes
enduring sadness
or chasing an illusion

I walk through life
very happy with my poverty
because I don't have money
I have a lot of heart

Descendant of Cuauhtemoc
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 pain

That's why it's my pride
to be from the humblest neighborhood
away from the hustle
and the fake society

I compose my songs
to be sung by the people
and the day the people fail me
that day I will cry
