Paroles et traduction Gerardo Díaz y su Gerarquia - Un Día de Rey y Otro de Wey

Un Día de Rey y Otro de Wey

Portate bien para que a ti te vaya al cien
Has un favor y se te devolverán dos
Se muy humilde y no le agas de fanfarrón
Son los consejos que mi viejo a mi me dio
No los olvido y presente los tengo yo
Y es lo que me a echo ser la persona que hoy soy
Si naces pobre ay que buscar a la riqueza
Si eres rico que no se suba a la cabeza
Eh visto ricos que presumen de grandeza
No ayudan a sus padres y asta se avergüenzan
No ayudan al pobre y a ni un santo le rezan
Nunca se olviden que lo que hacen se regresa
Por eso cuando yo un día agarro la parranda
Es porque tengo y sobra pa comer mañana
Yo no soy de esos que viven un día de rey
Y la semana se la avientan como wey
Yo tengo poco pero lo administro bien
Si hasta me alcanza pa tener hermosa mujer
Y esta es otra el de las composiciones viejo!
Pa que presumir ropa cara de milientos
Si en la cartera no trais ni uno de a quinientos
Ahora ya cualquier tlacuache se cree león
Y andan cinco días con el mismo pantalón
La ropa que yo visto tal vez no sea cara
Pero a mi bolsa siempre la traigo cargada
Ya me despido y espero no se molesten
Quieren tener azul celeste que les cueste
Son los consejos que mi viejo a mi me a dado
El diablo mas sabe por viejo que por diablo
Nunca presuman lo que no puedan tener
No vivan un día como rey y otro de wey

One Day King, Another Day Fool

Behave so that things go well for you
Do a favor and you'll get two in return
Be humble and don't act like a show-off
Those are the pieces of advice my old man gave me
I haven't forgotten them and I keep them in mind
And those are what have made me the person I am today
If you're born poor, you must seek wealth
If you're rich, don't let it go to your head
I've seen rich people who brag about their greatness
They don't help their parents and even feel ashamed of them
They don't help the poor and don't pray to any saint
Never forget that what you do comes back to you
That's why when I party for a day
It's because I have enough to eat for tomorrow
I'm not one of those who live like a king one day
And act like a fool for the rest of the week
I have little but I manage it well
I can even afford to have a beautiful wife
And here's another one from the old compositions!
Why show off expensive clothes that cost a thousand?
If in your wallet you don't even have a five hundred
Nowadays any animal believes itself to be a lion
And they spend five days with the same trousers on
The clothes I wear may not be expensive
But I always have money in my pocket
I'll take my leave and I hope you aren't offended
You want to have blue sky? It will cost you
That's the advice my old man gave me
The devil knows more because he's old, than because he's the devil
Never show off what you can't have
Don't live one day like a king and another like a fool
