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

El Americano (feat. Omar Ruiz)

Decidí desde niño que yo nunca sería pobre
Siempre fui firme en mis decisiones
De muy joven tomé mi camino y me fui a California
Dónde empeze a chambear con la mota
Hice socios y varios negocios
Y aquí es dónde comienza mi historia

Se acababa el recurso, brincamos la línea a buscarle
Allá en México, pude encontrarle
Varias libras y un avión robado cuando me agarraron
La libré y me peleé por un rato
Como perros me andaban buscando
Le batallaron un par de años

Se me fue una persona importante, no voy a olvidarla
Un amor que no tuvo esperanza
De visita llegué con mis padres, pues los extrañaba
Pero, jamás me lo imaginaba, agentes llegaron a la casa
Y, por primera vez, me agarraban

Fierro pa' Colombia con la fuerza de Tijuana, pariente
Así medita mi compita, Omar Ruiz
Y que se oiga la guitarrita, se oiga

La prisión fue para mí una escuela, cambiaron las cosas
Ahora, los kilos eran de coca
Me impliqué con la gente de arriba y me fui pa' Colombia
Con Pablito Escobar y la bola
Tuve mucho poder y respeto
De allí mi límite era el cielo

Las traiciones también se asomaron y caí de nuevo
El día de mi cumpleaños cayeron
Después de que salí, ya solo importaba mi princesa
Y pasaba mi tiempo con ella
La acompañaba siempre a la escuela
Era feliz tan solo con verla

Tengo unos pendientitos y nos vamos a California
Eso le prometí a mi princesa
Me conecté con viejos amigos pa' aventarme un jale
En caliente, levanto una feria
Pero, me dieron otra sorpresa
Y, por tercera vez, tras las rejas

Cuántos errores he cometido, recordé a mi padre
Cuántas veces que no le hice caso
Fue real el dinero, por fin comprendí lo importante
Al viejillo, de veras, lo extrañó
60 años, mi última sentencia
Ya se despide el americano

The American (feat. Omar Ruiz)

I decided when I was a child that I would never be poor
I was always firm in my decisions
When I was very young, I found my way and went to California
Where I started to work with marijuana
I made partners and several businesses
And this is where my story begins

When the resources ran out, we jumped the border to look for more
There in Mexico, I was able to find it
Several pounds and a stolen plane when they caught me
I got away and fought for a while
They were after me like dogs
They struggled for a couple of years

I lost someone important. I will never forget her
A love that had no hope
I visited my parents because I missed them
But I never imagined that agents would come to the house
And for the first time, they caught me

Fierro pa' Colombia with the strength of Tijuana, my friend
That's what my compa, Omar Ruiz, is thinking about
And let the guitar be heard, let it be heard

Prison was a school for me. Things changed
Now the kilos were cocaine
I got involved with the big guys and went to Colombia
With Pablo Escobar and the gang
I had a lot of power and respect
From there, the sky was the limit

Betrayal also appeared, and I fell again
On my birthday, they came down
After I got out, all that mattered was my princess
And I spent my time with her
I always walked her to school
I was happy just to see her

I have a few loose ends, and we're going to California
That's what I promised my princess
I connected with old friends to do a job
In the heat of the moment, I raise a lot of money
But they surprised me again
And for the third time, behind bars

How many mistakes I have made. I remembered my father
How many times I ignored him
The money was real. I finally understood what was important
I really miss the old man
60 years. My last sentence
The American bids farewell
