Translation of the song lyrics Motivos - Dante

Motivos (original)

Un día me dijeron: «No olvides de donde vienes
Los pies en el suelo, Javi, sabes lo que tienes
Siempre ten en mente a las personas que más quieres
Y pide perdón cuando les hieres
A quienes vengan a joderte muestrales una sonrisa
Que todos sepan bien que a este chaval no se le pisa
Que tengan claro que nunca tuviste prisa
Y que tú siempre encontraste la manera más precisa
De hacer lo que quisiste en el momento más preciso
Que a paso lento lo conseguiste, y eso es precioso
Y siempre ten en mente que no hay nada más valioso
Que disfrutar despacio de lo que siempre se quiso»
Nunca imaginé que me pidiesen una foto
Que me diesen las gracias con el corazón roto
O que la gente se rompiese al abrazarme
Y entre lágrimas me digan: «Muchas gracias por salvarme»
Nunca imaginé cuando el Rap se volvió mi vicio
Que doce años después iba a decir que era mi oficio
Y tampoco imaginé cuando subí mi primer vídeo
Que gracias a mis letras pararía hasta un suicidio

Motivos (translation)

One day they told me: "Don't forget where you come from
Feet on the ground, Javi, you know what you have
Always keep in mind the people you love the most
And ask for forgiveness when you hurt them
To those who come to fuck you, show them a smile
Let everyone know well that this kid is not stepped on
Make it clear that you were never in a hurry
And that you always found the most accurate way
To do what you wanted at the most precise moment
That at a slow pace you got it, and that's precious
And always keep in mind that there is nothing more valuable
Than to slowly enjoy what was always wanted»
I never imagined that they would ask me for a photo
Thank me with a broken heart
Or that people broke when they hugged me
And between tears they tell me: «Thank you very much for saving me»
I never imagined when rap became my vice
That twelve years later he was going to say that it was my job
And I didn't even imagine when I uploaded my first video
That thanks to my lyrics I would stop even a suicide
