Текст и перевод песни El Coyote y Su Banda Tierra Santa - El Compita

El Compita

En una troquita vieja
Lo mire cuando empezaba
Tenia 2 o 3 vaquitas y unas tierritas sembradas
A puro maiz y frijol
Así se la navegaba

Salia a trabajar temprano
Volvia al anochecer
Unas veces a caballo
Y otras veces se iba a pie
Muy pobre vivía en su rancho, con sus hijos y mujer

Pero el destino te ofrece aveces alternativas
Y al compita de repente, le dio un cambiazo la vida
Porque ahora tiene billetes
Hasta pa' aventar pa' arriba

(MUSICA)

Hoy lo ven en una Tahoe
Su mujer trae un 300
Sus hijos no andan descalzos
Tambien traen su carro nuevos
Canta el Coyote en su rancho
Nomas con cualquier pretexto

Ya le ha caido el gobierno
Haciendo investigaciones
Pero el compita sereno le responde a los señores
Es derecho lo que tengo, me ha costado mis sudores

Asi es la vida señores
La suerte siempre es pareja
Cuando percebera el hombre siempre cunplira sus metas
Y al compa por sus acciones
Lo admiran y lo respetan

The Compadre

In an old pickup truck
I watched him when he was starting out
He had 2 or 3 cows and some planted land
Only corn and beans
That's how he got by

He went to work early
Returned at dusk
Sometimes on horseback
And other times he went on foot
Very poor living on his ranch, with his children and wife

But fate sometimes offers you alternatives
And suddenly, life gave my compadre a boost
Because now he has money
Even to throw in the air

(MUSIC)

Today you see him in a Tahoe
His wife has a 300
His children don't go barefoot
They also have new cars
El Coyote sings on his ranch
Just for any excuse

The government has already come to see him
Conducting investigations
But my compadre calmly tells the gentlemen
What I have is legal, it has cost me my sweat

That's life, my dear
Luck is always even
When a man perseveres, he will always meet his goals
And for his actions, my compadre
Is admired and respected
