El Abelito
Gerardo Ortiz
Lyrics
Translation
Si yo soy el abelito
If I am the little Abel
Del que tanto platicaban
About whom they talked so much
Aquel niño inofencivo
That innocent child
Al que nadie respetaba
Whom nobody respected
Ahora ya crecio abelito hoy si pesan sus palabras
Now Abel has grown, and his words carry weight
Botellas martel y banda
Bottles, hammer, and band
Ekis so pa la plevada
"X" for the ruckus
Una escuadra por el cinto
A gun by his waist
Por supuesto endiamantada
Of course, diamond-studded
Una plebe por un lado
A girl on one side
De su gusto la muchacha
He likes the girl
De sangre fuerte el muchacho
The boy with strong blood
Tenia que ser sinaloense
Had to be from Sinaloa
Educado y desididio
Educated and determined
Bien ase que lo respeten
Makes sure he is respected
La bendicion de su madre siempre la tiene presente
His mother's blessing always in mind
Lo mira llegar wamuchil
He is seen arriving in Guamuchil
Al muchacho siempre al tiro
Always ready for anything
A arreglar unos negocios visitar alos amigos
To settle some business, visit friends
Nomas sale de las vueltas
As soon as he finishes his rounds
Se va pa estados unidos
He goes to the United States
Estoy bien apoderado
I am well supported
De respaldo esta mi tio
My uncle has my back
Y si ai algun problema
And if there's a problem
Tambien cuento con mi primo
I also have my cousin
Ellos saben el camino y tropiesan muy pokito
They know the way and stumble very little
Por el frente yno m erajo por que soy bien positivo
On the front, I don't worry because I'm very positive
Y auqnue todo se sacuda aqui voi en el camino
And even if everything shakes, here I go on the path
Y aunque viva en california sinaloa me ve seguido
And although I live in California, Sinaloa sees me often
Si yo soy el abelito
If I am the little Abel
Del que tanto platicaban
About whom they talked so much
Aquel niño inofencivo
That innocent child
Al que nadie respetaba
Whom nobody respected
Ahora ya crecio abelito hoy si pesan sus palabras
Now Abel has grown, and his words carry weight
