Lyrics of Mis Raíces - El Fantasma, Los Dos Carnales

Mis Raíces (original)

Ando listo para trabajar, no tengo tiempo de enredarme, menos andar con envidias
Si de frente me han de respetar y por la espalda han de ladrar debo saber que
así es la vida
Si nacimos entre chiva y vaca para qué se me alucina
Caballero en personalidad porque así me enseñó mi apá que no se me suba a la
mente
De todas las cosas que dirás, lo que sale de tu garganta se sostiene con los
dientes
Es por eso que no soy corriente, no agraviando a los presentes
Somos de sombrero, a gusto ancho de huaraches y de rancho humildemente sin
cimiento
Al tirante en calles empolvadas con toda la chavalada, aterrados y contentos
Pero lo mejor de mis raíces es que nunca me avergüenzo
Los cacales y caminos reales, los canales y nogales fueron parte de mi libro
No soy hombre de mucho pelear pero pa' poderme cuidar para eso me cargo un
fierrito
El respeto grande y buen amigo y en caliente se los digo
Yo nunca me atraso, somos hombres no payasos, verdaderos rancheros y con modales
Mis viejones muy bien me cuidaron, buena crianza me inculcaron, mil respetos
pa' mis padres
También me dijeron «ponte trucha si quieren hacerte males»
Vuela palomita tú que andas muy alineada ve y platícale a toda la chavalada
El haber nacido en cuna humilde es parte de la enseñanza
Nomás pa' que se pongan la pila los que niegan a su raza

(translation)

I'm ready to work, I don't have time to get tangled up, much less be envious
If they have to respect me from the front and bark from behind, I must know that
this is life
If we were born between a goat and a cow, why am I freaking out?
Gentleman in personality because that is how my father taught me not to get on the
mind
Of all the things you will say, what comes out of your throat is held with the
teeth
That's why I'm not ordinary, not offending those present
We are in hats, comfortable in huaraches and humbly from ranch without
foundation
To the strap in dusty streets with all the kids, terrified and happy
But the best thing about my roots is that I'm never ashamed
The cacales and royal roads, the canals and nogales were part of my book
I'm not a man who fights a lot, but to be able to take care of myself, that's why I take a
fierrito
Great respect and a good friend and I tell you warmly
I am never late, we are men not clowns, true ranchers and with manners
My old folks took very good care of me, they instilled good upbringing in me, a thousand respects
for my parents
They also told me "wear trout if they want to hurt you"
Fly popcorn you who are very aligned go and talk to all the kids
Being born in a humble cradle is part of the teaching
Just for those who deny their race to put on the battery
