Lyrics of La Vieja Escuela - El Fantasma

La Vieja Escuela (original)

A veces austero tal vez bien vestido
Me miran tranquilo surcando el camino
Tomando cerveza o con un buen vino
En mi camioneta rodeado de amigos
Andamos alegres gozando la vida
Escuchando a chalino
Desde muy Chavalo le andamos buscando
Correteando el peso pa Poder gastarlo
Habido altibajos y no nos rajamos
La vida es bonita pa que nos quejamos
Hay que disfrutarla porque lo vivido
Es lo que nos llevamos
Cuento con la vieja escuela
Y tengo buen cuero pa buenas correas
Si se trata de chambearle
Me aviento con gusto pal jale que sea
Desde que yo vine al mundo
Los buenos principios los traigo de herencia
Pa que sea buena la cuña
Se tiene que hacer de la misma madera
Y no me ablanda cualquiera
Si me da la gana me ven en el rancho
Donde tengo amigos a lo largo y ancho
Estrecho la mano de gente importante
Porque han demostrado que están al tirante
Yo nunca me fijo en lo que traigan puesto
Eso es punto y aparte
Yo traigo la rienda y el fuete en la mano
Por si hay un caballo que me salga bravo
Ya son otros tiempos ya nadie es dejado
Ahora los pollos piensan que son gallos
Cundo se a ofrecido no piensen que
Me dejo curar parado
Cuento con la vieja escuela
Y tengo buen cuero pa buenas correas
Si se trata de chambearle
Me aviento con gusto pal jale que sea
Desde que yo vine al mundo
Los buenos principios los traigo de herencia
Pa que sea buena la cuña
Se tiene que hacer de la misma madera
Y no me ablanda cualquiera

(translation)

Sometimes austere maybe well dressed
They look at me calm furrowing the road
Drinking beer or with a good wine
In my van surrounded by friends
We are happy enjoying life
listening to chalino
We have been looking for him since he was very young
Running around the peso to be able to spend it
There have been ups and downs and we didn't back down
Life is beautiful so we complain
You have to enjoy it because what you lived
It's what we take with us
I count on the old school
And I have good leather for good straps
If it's about chambearle
I'm happy to pull it out
Since I came into the world
I bring the good principles by inheritance
So that the wedge is good
It has to be made of the same wood
And I don't soften anyone
If I feel like it they see me at the ranch
Where I have friends far and wide
I shake hands with important people
Because they have shown that they are on the tight side
I never notice what they are wearing
That's full stop
I bring the rein and the stronghold in my hand
In case there is a horse that I get brave
These are other times and no one is left
Now the chickens think they are roosters
When it was offered, do not think that
I let myself heal standing
I count on the old school
And I have good leather for good straps
If it's about chambearle
I'm happy to pull it out
Since I came into the world
I bring the good principles by inheritance
So that the wedge is good
It has to be made of the same wood
And I don't soften anyone
