Lyrics of Alma de Acero - José Alfredo Jiménez

Alma de Acero (original)

Podrás tener mucha suerte
Podrás andar por el mundo
Destrozando corazones
Podrás hacer lo que quieras
Podrás tener mil amores
Pero este que estás dejando
Aunque quisieras no lo repones
Tú sabes que soy parejo
Ya te lo dije una vez
Si yo no te causo penas
No quiero que me las des
Tú ya conoces mi vida
A veces me ando cayendo
Y el orgullo me levanta
Nací con alma de acero
Y aunque de veras te quiero
Te dejo que me abandones
Nomas no llores si alguien te canta
Tú sabes que soy parejo
Ya te lo dije una vez
Si yo no te causo penas
No quiero que me las des

(translation)

you can be very lucky
You can walk the world
shattering hearts
you can do what you want
You can have a thousand loves
But this one you're leaving
Even if you wanted, you don't replace it
you know i'm even
I already told you once
If I don't cause you pain
I don't want you to give them to me
you already know my life
Sometimes I'm falling
And the pride lifts me up
I was born with a soul of steel
And although I really love you
I let you leave me
Just don't cry if someone sings to you
you know i'm even
I already told you once
If I don't cause you pain
I don't want you to give them to me
