Translation

Yo nunca pido opiniones

I never ask for opinions

Y vaya que las ofrecen

And oh, how they offer them

Rara vez pido favores

I rarely ask for favors

Porque los pago con creces

Because I repay them in abundance


Traigo bastante coraje de tanta pregunta

I carry a lot of anger from so many questions

Cuando el interrogador

When the interrogator

Ayer estuvo en mi junta

Was at my meeting yesterday

Solicitando mi ayuda

Seeking my help


Oiga pues el que no escucha

Listen, those who don't listen

Nótese mi descontento

Notice my discontent

La gente no tiene lucha

People have no struggle

Ni tampoco sentimientos

Nor do they have feelings


Señor no tiro la toalla por no ser cobarde

Sir, I don't throw in the towel for not being a coward

Pero es que a mi situación

But it's just that in my situation

No hayo porque lado darle

I can't figure out which way to go

Más que puro pa' delante

Other than straight ahead


Y es que aún

And it's still

Hay tantas bocas por callar

There are so many mouths to silence

Aún hay que poner en su lugar

There are still those to put in their place

A tanta gente que ha perdido la memoria

So many people who have lost their memory

A quien nadaba junto a mí en un mar de gloria

Those who swam with me in a sea of glory

Y simplemente ahora no está porque quiso y porque pudo

And simply now aren't because they wanted to and because they could

Y solamente porque ahora

And only because now

No tiene tunas el nopal

The nopal cactus has no prickly pears


Para que quede más claro

So that it's clearer

Yo no pongo resistencia

I don't put up resistance

Solo les pido un favor

I just ask you a favor

Que no agoten mi paciencia

Don't exhaust my patience


No se sientan ofendidos me hago responsable

Don't feel offended, I take responsibility

Lo que ahora digo dolido

What I say now, hurt

Lo sostengo en modo amable

I stand by it in a friendly manner

Creo que es lo más razonable

I think it's the most reasonable


Y es que aún

And it's still

Hay tantas bocas por callar

There are so many mouths to silence

Aún hay que poner en su lugar

There are still those to put in their place

A tanta gente que ahora ya tiene memoria

So many people who now have memory

A los que quieren volver conmigo a la gloria

Those who want to return with me to glory

Y simplemente ya no estoy porque quiero y porque puedo

And simply, I'm not there because I want to and because I can

Y sepan que a partir de ahora

And know that from now on

Metemos mente y corazón

We put in mind and heart
