Lyrics of El Orgullo de Mi Padre - Jenni Rivera

El Orgullo de Mi Padre (original)

Que mal concepto señores el que tenian de mi
confianza pa’los negocios disque yo no iba a servir
unos creen que la mujer solo sirve pa’parir…
Que bueno que yo fui hembra y les supe demostrar
que valor tambien me sobra y arma puedo portar
y si se ofrece le jalo no me tiembla pa’matar…
Mi padre queria un hijo pa’que siguiera el negocio
pero ahora esta muy feliz de tenerme como socio
ya ve que soy competente de eso se siente orgulloso…
Con un padre como tu pa’que quiero mas escuela
en menos que canta un gallo desiencueto mi clientela
mejor me dejo el negocio se dio cuenta que soy buena…
Aprendi a usar las armas para no traer niñera
soy dama muy respetada cariñosa a mi manera
pero si se portan mal luego me sale lo fiera…
No hay enemigo pequeño y yo no soy la excepccion
por eso es que me respetan no les tengo compacion
el que me la hace la paga si no los mando al panteon.

(translation)

What a bad concept, gentlemen, that you had of me
Confidence for businesses that I was not going to serve
Some believe that women are only used to give birth...
It's good that I was a female and I knew how to show them
What value I also have left over and a weapon I can carry
and if she offers, I'll pull her, she doesn't tremble to kill me...
My father wanted a son to continue the business
but now he is very happy to have me as a partner
He already sees that I am competent in that he feels proud...
With a father like you, why do I want more school?
in less than he sings a rooster I lose my clientele
I better leave the business, he realized that I'm good...
I learned to use weapons so as not to bring a babysitter
I am a very respected lady affectionate in my own way
but if they misbehave then I get the hell out of it...
There is no small enemy and I am not the exception
That's why they respect me, I have no compassion for them
The one who does it to me pays if he doesn't send them to the pantheon.
