Paroles et traduction Los Carnales de Nuevo León - Qué Lindo Es Ser Rico

Qué Lindo Es Ser Rico

No tenías futuro conmigo.
Eso dijo tu buena familia.
Hoy que puedo llenarles el pico,
Se persignan al verme llegar.
Ay que rico y que lindo es ser rico.
Esta cosa me empieza a gustar.

Orgulloso de ser provinciano.
Lo que tengo lo hice chambeando.
Cada surco que ves en mis manos,
Me los hice cargando el arado.
Ay que rico, que lindo es ser rico.
Cada peso lo hice sudando.

Bendito cielo.
Mientras sigas lloviendo en la milpa.
Pa' mi gente y los buenos amigos.
Dios mediante no falte comida.
Bendito cielo.
Mientras siga teniendo tu abrigo.
Ay que rico y que lindo es ser rico.
Esta cosa me empieza a gustar.

Hoy que tengo me sobran parientes.
Cuando pobre ni quien me pelara.
Las mujeres que ayer me ignoraron,
Hoy se sueñan conmigo casadas.
Ay que rico y que lindo es ser rico.
Esta cosa me empieza a gustar.

Bendito cielo.
Mientras sigas lloviendo en la milpa.
Pa' mi gente y los buenos amigos.
Dios mediante no falte comida.

How Nice It Is to Be Rich

You didn't have a future with me,
That's what your good family said.
Now that I can fill their beaks,
They cross themselves when they see me coming.
Oh, how rich and nice it is to be rich,
I'm starting to like this thing.

Proud to be a provincial.
What I have I made by working hard.
Every furrow you see in my hands,
I made them carrying the plow.
Oh, how rich and nice it is to be rich.
I earned every penny sweating.

Blessed heaven,
As long as you keep raining on the cornfield.
For my family and good friends,
God willing, there will be no shortage of food.
Blessed heaven,
As long as I keep having your shelter.
Oh, how rich and nice it is to be rich,
I'm starting to like this thing.

Now that I have money, I have plenty of relatives,
When I was poor, no one would even look at me,
The women who ignored me yesterday,
Today they dream of marrying me.
Oh, how rich and nice it is to be rich,
I'm starting to like this thing.

Blessed heaven,
As long as you keep raining on the cornfield.
For my family and good friends,
God willing, there will be no shortage of food.
