El Tocayo Lyrics in English Lenin Ramírez
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song El Tocayo by Lenin Ramírez from Spanish to English.
La vida da vueltas y nos ha mejorado
Life goes around and it has improved us
Venimos de abajo y eso nunca lo he olvidado
We come from below and I have never forgotten that
Por eso, me gusta a mi familia echar la mano
That's why I like to have my family lend a hand
Sé lo que han sufrido
I know what they have suffered
Y yo me propuse ayudarlos
And I decided to help them
Aunque había pobreza nunca me avergüenzo
Although there was poverty I was never ashamed
Todo lo contrario a eso, orgulloso me siento
Quite the opposite of that, I feel proud
Pues logré vencerla
Well I managed to beat her
Siempre echando pa' 'delante
Always pushing forward
Aunque si no tienes, ninguno quiere ayudarte
Although if you don't have one, no one wants to help you
Todo lo contrario, nada más ven la manera
Quite the opposite, they just see the way
Y lueguito, quieren chingarte
And then, they want to fuck you
Con mis hermanos, siempre dando mano
With my brothers, always giving a hand
Le dimos pa' 'dela' y pudimos lograrlo
We gave it a go and we were able to achieve it
Dejamos atrás la pobreza
We leave poverty behind
Y hoy sí podemos disfrutar
And today we can enjoy
Pero no crean que acá habrá prepotencia
But don't think there will be arrogance here
Somos buena gente y con
We are good people and with
Mucha decencia, palabra, honradez
A lot of decency, words, honesty
Y lo más importante, el grado la humildad
And most importantly, the degree of humility
Yo no me arrepiento de lo que he pasado
I don't regret what I've been through
Doy gracias a Dios, todo esto me ha ayudado
I thank God, all this has helped me
Pa' poder triunfar
To be able to succeed
Ahí le va, mi compa Beto
There you go, my friend Beto
Puro pa' 'delante, compa Cacho
Pure forward, compa Cacho
Me crucé pa'l norte, buscando un mejor futuro
I crossed to the north, looking for a better future
Pero no fue fácil, la verdad
But it wasn't easy, really
Siempre fue duro
It was always hard
Pero poco a poco, fui formando mi negocio
But little by little, I was building my business
Y ahora son millones los que
And now there are millions who
Hacemos con los socios
We do with partners
Hay muchos amigos, bueno, conocidos
There are many friends, well, acquaintances
Con los que hago trato
The ones I deal with
De México a con los gringos
From Mexico to the gringos
Aunque trabajamos, jamás nadie me ha mirado
Although we work, no one has ever looked at me
Soy como un fantasma, vale más tener cuidado
I'm like a ghost, you better be careful
Porque en este jale
Because in this pull
Vale más no estar dormido
It's better not to be asleep
Porque sales traicionado
Because you come out betrayed
Pasan los años y nunca he cambiado
Years go by and I have never changed
Todo lo contrario, vamos mejorando
On the contrary, we are improving
Y aunque no soy viejo
And although I am not old
La verdad que tengo experiencia de más

Mi súper rameada siempre va a cuidarnos
