El Rey

I know well that I'm outside
but the day I die,
I know you'll have to cry,
cry and cry, cry and cry.
You'll say you never loved me
but you'll be really sad,
and that's how you'll 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’m still the king.

A stone in the road
taught me that my destiny
was to roll and roll,
roll and roll, roll and roll.
Then a muleteer told me
that it’s not about being 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’m still the king.
