Translation

Un ojo de agua en la sierra

A water spring in the mountains

Es una mina seniore

It's a mine, sir

Yo siembro,cosecho y vendo

I plant, harvest, and sell

Nunca hay sekia pa mis flores

There's never a drought for my flowers

Todo el anio es temporada

All year is the season

Ojito de mis amores.

Little eye of my loves


Si lo descubre el govierno

If the government discovers it

Ni sabra de ke trata poke

They won't know what it's about, why

Le puse un letrero pa ke lo lea

I put up a sign for them to read

Si alguien pasa ke dice

If someone passes, it says

"por ti vivimos att. las vacas".

"For you, we live - Regards, the cows"


Las manias te ahorran fuerza

Habits save you strength

Dijo mi padre una vez

My father said once

Si alguien te sigue la huella

If someone follows your trail

Monte el huarache al revez

Wear your sandal backward

Asi lo agarraz de frente

That way, you face them

Y te puedes defender.

And you can defend yourself


El ke persevera alcansa

He who perseveres achieves

Eso lo supe ase tiempo

I learned that a while ago

Hoy tengo lo ke yo kiero

Today, I have what I want

Aunke me siga el gobierno

Even if the government follows me

Pero eso no me preocupa

But that doesn't worry me

Ser pobre si me da miedo.

Being poor scares me


Tengo plantios ala vista

I have plantations in plain sight

Pa despistar al gobierno

To mislead the government

Y cada vez ke los keman

And every time they burn them

Los vuelvo a plantar de nuevo

I plant them again

Ellos piensan ke me arruinan

They think they ruin me

No saben ke hay cerros llenos.

They don't know there are hills full


Todo lo ke cosecho

Everything I harvest

Se lo mando a los gabachos

I send it to the gringos

Ellos me mandan billetes

They send me bills

Y se me enojan los huachos

And the spoiled ones get angry at me

"si sale el sol para todos

"If the sun rises for everyone

Por ke aser sombra muchachos".

Why cast a shadow, boys"


Para triunfar en la vida

To succeed in life

No hay ke ser un traficante

You don't have to be a trafficker

Pero si asi lo decides

But if you decide so

Eso ya es punto y aparte

That's a different story

Hechame un telefonaso

Give me a call

El ojo de agua es muy grande.

The water spring is very large
