El principiante
Colmillo NorteñoLyrics
Translation
Aumentaron personal
Increased personnel
El negocio va pa arriba
The business is going up
No esta mal pa un principiante
Not bad for a beginner
Ke se a jugado la vida
Who has gambled with life
Primero no hay ke komer
First, you don't have to eat
Y ahora con manteka guisan
And now, they cook with lard
Un dia ke estaba comido
One day, when I was well-fed
Se me ocurrio comenzar
I came up with the idea to start
Y le entre a lo prohibo
And I went for the forbidden
Con ramitas pa empezar
With little branches to begin
Estaban fuertes los chingasos
The beatings were strong
Pero no me eche pa atras
But I didn't back down
Llegaron la avionetas
Planes arrived
No mas cuatro pa empezar
Just four to start
Pero no tenian piloto
But they had no pilots
Y a guamuchil fui a parar
And I ended up in Guamuchil
Los mejores planeadores
The best gliders
Estan listos pa volar
Are ready to fly
Ase unos años atras
A few years ago
Por aire me la rifaba
I risked it by air
Y en la cajuela del carro
And in the car trunk
A la vista la llebaba
I carried it in plain sight
Despues inventan el clavo
Then they invented the problem
Y se puso mas pelada
And it became riskier
Siento ke lo ke ahora tengo
I feel that what I have now
Se lo debo al personal
I owe it to the personnel
Y tambien a los de arriba
And also to those above
Ke me enseñan mas y mas
Who teach me more and more
Ke el valor de un principiante
The courage of a beginner
Ke nunka se echa pa atraz
Who never backs down
Se ke soy un principiante
I know I'm a beginner
Con todo y mis avionetas
With all my planes
Las trokas ke van y vienen
The trucks that come and go
Muchos numeros me dejan
Leave me with many numbers
Seguire siendo el candado
I will continue to be the padlock
Ke ase fuerte a mi cadena
That strengthens my chain
