Lyrics of Intro - Daddy Yankee, Alberto Stylee, Eddie Dee

Intro (original)

Nací en donde la vida me ha hecho hombre
Acorrala’o de gente buena
Entusiasma’o por la idea de ser grande
Evadiendo el dolor y la pena
Nací entre calles oscuras, nací en donde vivo
Nací en donde, sin duda, para mucha gente está prohibido
Aquí he soña'o con la vida, aquí he juga’o con la suerte
Aquí la maldad está prohibida, entre nosotros, entre mi gente
Lo llamo «barrio» con orgullo
Lo llaman «barrio» los de afuera
Y el honor por nacer aquí me lo atribuyo
Yo que soy quien soy, a mi manera
De barrio, pero de barrio fino, como mi gente
Gente que lucha, gente que siente
Yo no soy de un barrio a la deriva, sin destino
No, yo soy de barrio, pero de un barrio fino
Y de ahí nace un joven
Que no sabía lo que le tenía preparado el destino
Destino que lo llevó hasta la música
La cual le ha dado grandes satisfacciones y grandes galardones
Pero ninguno de ellos tiene tanto significado para él
Como lo ha sido el cariño y el respeto de su público
Yankee, usted tiene la última palabra

(translation)

I was born where life has made me a man
Acorrala'o of good people
Enthusiasm for the idea of ​​being great
Avoiding pain and sorrow
I was born between dark streets, I was born where I live
I was born where, without a doubt, for many people it is prohibited
Here I have dreamed of life, here I have played with luck
Evil is forbidden here, between us, between my people
I call it "neighborhood" with pride
Outsiders call it "neighborhood"
And I attribute the honor to be born here
I am who I am, in my own way
From the neighborhood, but from the fine neighborhood, like my people
People who fight, people who feel
I'm not from a drifting neighborhood, without a destination
No, I'm from the neighborhood, but from a fine neighborhood
And from there a young man is born
That he didn't know what fate had in store for him
Destiny that led him to music
Which has given him great satisfaction and great awards
But none of them mean so much to him
As has been the love and respect of his public
Yankee, you have the last word
