El Tractor

I'm tired of being poor
And of being a farmer
I traded my shovel for a horn
My ranch for New York
I drive a truck from this year
I no longer drive the tractor

I remember I wandered like a dog
Until I found the jackpot
I threw that rusty shovel
Here comes a shotgun
Come to the tamarind
Come right now with me

Look how things are
How my destiny changed
Let them say what they want
Let them say I'm a bandit
I'm the monkey from the tamarind
I won't tell you my name

I have sailed alone
Through different paths
Until I found a buddy
Now that's a good friend
In good times and bad
He stands by me

The people who sailed me
Are no longer farmers
They stroll around the state
Now they are big shots
They drive only trucks from this year
They no longer drive tractors

If you want to meet me
I'll give you some directions
I'm the monkey from the tamarind
And when I see the airplanes
It reminds me of the cauque
Doing stunts in the air.
