Lyrics and translation Fuerza de Tijuana feat. Omar Ruiz - El Americano (feat. Omar Ruiz)




El Americano (feat. Omar Ruiz)
The American (feat. Omar Ruiz)
Decidí desde niño que yo nunca sería pobre
I decided when I was a child that I would never be poor
Siempre fui firme en mis decisiones
I was always firm in my decisions
De muy joven tomé mi camino y me fui a California
When I was very young, I found my way and went to California
Dónde empeze a chambear con la mota
Where I started to work with marijuana
Hice socios y varios negocios
I made partners and several businesses
Y aquí es dónde comienza mi historia
And this is where my story begins
Se acababa el recurso, brincamos la línea a buscarle
When the resources ran out, we jumped the border to look for more
Allá en México, pude encontrarle
There in Mexico, I was able to find it
Varias libras y un avión robado cuando me agarraron
Several pounds and a stolen plane when they caught me
La libré y me peleé por un rato
I got away and fought for a while
Como perros me andaban buscando
They were after me like dogs
Le batallaron un par de años
They struggled for a couple of years
Se me fue una persona importante, no voy a olvidarla
I lost someone important. I will never forget her
Un amor que no tuvo esperanza
A love that had no hope
De visita llegué con mis padres, pues los extrañaba
I visited my parents because I missed them
Pero, jamás me lo imaginaba, agentes llegaron a la casa
But I never imagined that agents would come to the house
Y, por primera vez, me agarraban
And for the first time, they caught me
Fierro pa' Colombia con la fuerza de Tijuana, pariente
Fierro pa' Colombia with the strength of Tijuana, my friend
Así medita mi compita, Omar Ruiz
That's what my compa, Omar Ruiz, is thinking about
Y que se oiga la guitarrita, se oiga
And let the guitar be heard, let it be heard
La prisión fue para una escuela, cambiaron las cosas
Prison was a school for me. Things changed
Ahora, los kilos eran de coca
Now the kilos were cocaine
Me impliqué con la gente de arriba y me fui pa' Colombia
I got involved with the big guys and went to Colombia
Con Pablito Escobar y la bola
With Pablo Escobar and the gang
Tuve mucho poder y respeto
I had a lot of power and respect
De allí mi límite era el cielo
From there, the sky was the limit
Las traiciones también se asomaron y caí de nuevo
Betrayal also appeared, and I fell again
El día de mi cumpleaños cayeron
On my birthday, they came down
Después de que salí, ya solo importaba mi princesa
After I got out, all that mattered was my princess
Y pasaba mi tiempo con ella
And I spent my time with her
La acompañaba siempre a la escuela
I always walked her to school
Era feliz tan solo con verla
I was happy just to see her
Tengo unos pendientitos y nos vamos a California
I have a few loose ends, and we're going to California
Eso le prometí a mi princesa
That's what I promised my princess
Me conecté con viejos amigos pa' aventarme un jale
I connected with old friends to do a job
En caliente, levanto una feria
In the heat of the moment, I raise a lot of money
Pero, me dieron otra sorpresa
But they surprised me again
Y, por tercera vez, tras las rejas
And for the third time, behind bars
Cuántos errores he cometido, recordé a mi padre
How many mistakes I have made. I remembered my father
Cuántas veces que no le hice caso
How many times I ignored him
Fue real el dinero, por fin comprendí lo importante
The money was real. I finally understood what was important
Al viejillo, de veras, lo extrañó
I really miss the old man
60 años, mi última sentencia
60 years. My last sentence
Ya se despide el americano
The American bids farewell
