Below, I translated the lyrics of the song El Dinero No Lo Es Todo by Kendo Kaponi from Spanish to English.
La heladera esta vacía
The fridge is empty
Las facturas ya vencidas
The bills are already overdue
En el baño los caños rotos
In the bathroom the pipes are broken
La vecina me dice
The neighbor tells me
Que soy un croto
That I'm a bum
No me fía el almacén
The store won't give me credit
Se enojo doña maria
Mrs. Maria got angry
Hice un mango el otro día
I made some money the other day
Pero lo gaste en bebida
But I spent it on drinks
Sin un centavo
Without a penny
Pero no limado
But not wasted
Que vas a hacer
What are you going to do
No aprendes mas
You never learn
La que ganas
What you earn
Que vas a hacer
What are you going to do
No aprendes mas
You never learn
La que ganas
What you earn
Con el diario en la mano
With the newspaper in hand
Salí a buscar un trabajo
I went out to look for a job
No encuentro un carajo
I can't find a damn thing
Mangueé una cerveza
I begged for a beer
Me quedo en la esquina
I stay on the corner
De quinielero, no!
As a lottery ticket seller, no!
De boquetero,no!
As a safecracker, no!
De motoquero, no!
As a biker, no!
De curandero, no!
As a healer, no!
De cana, no!
As a cop, no!
De streaper, no!
As a stripper, no!
De chorro, no!
As a thief, no!
Travesti, no!
As a transvestite, no!
De mi abuela
Of my grandma
Que con sabiduría
Who with wisdom
Que en la vida
That in life
Hay que aceptar
You have to accept
El dinero no es todo
Money isn't everything
Pero como ayuda
But how it helps
El dinero no es todo
Money isn't everything
Ay! como ayuda
Oh! how it helps
Con dinero compraria
With money I would buy
Un viaje al congo
A trip to the Congo
Pa' mi suegra
For my mother-in-law
El tapizado del torino
The upholstery for the Torino
Y los postizos
And the dentures
El dinero no es todo
Money isn't everything
Pero como ayuda
But how it helps
El dinero no es todo
Money isn't everything
Ay! como ayuda
Oh! how it helps
Con dinero o sin dinero
With money or without money
Hago siempre lo que quiero
I always do what I want
Ay! que bueno que seria
Oh! how good it would be
Ganarse la lotería
To win the lottery
Quiero dinero
I want money
Quiero dinero
I want money
Ya sé que no es todo
I know it's not everything
Quiero dinero
I want money
