Lyrics of Gracias - Tego Calderón

Gracias (original)

Hey!
Donde estaban cuando mas falta me hacian
Ni tan solo una llamada
Ni siquiera me escribian
Se dan golpes de pecho por el parentesco
Pero manda mas papa si mas merezco
Yo sabia que esto venia
Por eso insistia
Aunque sufria, maana sera mi dia me decia
Que bien se siente, sentir el cario de mi gente
De mi isla y lugares adyacentes
Tengo una familia inmensa ahora
Esta conmigo a to’as horas
Que me vigila
Y que me aconseja de cora
Que habla de frente las verdades y las mentiras
Que si estoy pegao me apoyan
Y si no sirvo me tiran
Gracias a los barrios y los caserios
Por apoyar lo que yo hago, por ser de los mios
Gracias al publico en general que me apoya
Gracias, declaro
Gracias, pueta, gracias
Gracias a los barrios y los caserios
Por apoyar lo que yo hago, por ser de los mios
Gracias al publico en general que me apoya
Gracias, declaro
Gracias, pueta, gracias
Por permitirme lograr el sueo de mi vida
Y con lirica mantener un hogar pa' mi hija
Desahogarme
Y de algun modo olvidarme de cosas que creo
Y debo callarme
Gracias a los nios por tanto cario
Los llevo, y si te estan maltratando comunicate con Tego
Gracias a todo los que me emplearon
Que me vieron jodido y me dieron la mano, mi hermano
Y yo he hecho to' tipo de trabajo
Y ahora gracias a ustedes no doy un tajo
Yo llevo 10 aos tratando, to' el mundo pichando
Y ahora que estoy pegando me estan tirando
Gracias a los que en mi contra estan conspirando
Difamando, nombre daando
Gracias a los envidiosos, a los carchanchanes
A los pirateros, a los bacatranes
Gracias a latinoamerica entera
Gracias a mis viejos
Gracias, Maelo Rivera
Gracias Rebeca, Ebony y Kenya
Gracias a las prietas, las blancas y las trigueas
Gracias gobierno, por robarnos tanto y cada 4 aos vestirse de santo
Gracias a los tribunales por tener dos barra y hacer de la justicia una cosa
cara
Gracias al manda mas que la inspiracion me da
Y a los abayardes que a todas van
Ito caanga, mi maestro de ostarga
La confinadas, y confinados por no chotear
Gracias a los barrios y los caserios
Por apoyar lo que yo hago, por ser de los mios
Gracias al publico en general que me apoya
Gracias, declaro
Gracias, pueta, gracias
Gracias a los barrios y los caserios
Por apoyar lo que yo hago, por ser de los mios
Gracias al publico en general que me apoya
Gracias, declaro
Gracias, pueta, gracias
Gracias a mi pana Elias, oye
Gracias a to' esa gente mia, oye
Y al publico general que me apoya
Gracias, declaro
Gracias, pueta, gracias
Y al que me piratio, papi
Te llevastes uno, dos, tres en la cara pa' que sepas como es
De parte del abayarde, papi
Oye, yo no juego
Este negro si que es afuego
Papi, oye pa' que respetes
Oye, pa' que tu te metes si no tienes lo que toma, coge la loma
Ando con Ekko, metiendo caras contra el ceto
Pa' que veas que yo si que le meto
Afueguete
Oye, nos fuimos algarete
Yo crei que tu sabias ya de este negro loco
Yo creia que tu ya sabias de mi
Saludando a mi gente de alla abajo, de Loiza
Pa' que sepan
Que en verdad me encoleriza
Ando sin prisa, pero tu lentitud me soleriza
Eso es lo que pasa
Oye, nunca jodas con mi casa, pa'
Este es el Tego Calde'
Otra vez
Pa' que sepan como es
Oye, tu no habias visto antes nadie como yo
Yo se que tu no, yo se que no
Asi que pa' que vas a frontear conmigo, canto de cabron?
Es el Tego Calde', el hijuelagranputa en el microphone
Jaja!
No te metas, mono
Que yo siempre ando solo
Y como quiera los descojono
Nos fuimos afuego, Ekko!
Sueltalo pal carajo!

(translation)

Hey!
Where were they when I needed them the most?
Not even a call
They didn't even write to me
They give each other chest blows for kinship
But send more dad if I deserve more
I knew this was coming
That's why I insisted
Although I suffered, tomorrow will be my day, he told me
How good it feels, to feel the affection of my people
Of my island and adjacent places
I have a huge family now
He is with me at all hours
who watches over me
And what advice do you give me?
Who speaks truths and lies face to face
That if I'm stuck or support me
And if I don't work, they throw me away
Thanks to the neighborhoods and the hamlets
For supporting what I do, for being one of mine
Thanks to the general public that supports me
Thank you, I declare
Thank you bitch, thank you
Thanks to the neighborhoods and the hamlets
For supporting what I do, for being one of mine
Thanks to the general public that supports me
Thank you, I declare
Thank you bitch, thank you
For allowing me to achieve the dream of my life
And with lyrics keep a home for my daughter
let off steam
And somehow forget about things I believe
And I must shut up
Thanks to the children for so much love
I take them, and if they are mistreating you, contact Tego
Thanks to everyone who employed me
That they saw me fucked up and they shook my hand, my brother
And I have done all kinds of work
And now thanks to you I don't give a cut
I've been trying for 10 years, everyone playing
And now that I'm hitting they're throwing me
Thanks to those who are conspiring against me
Slandering, name damaging
Thanks to the envious, to the carchanchanes
To the pirates, to the bacatranes
Thanks to all of Latin America
Thanks to my old
Thanks, Maelo Rivera.
Thank you Rebeca, Ebony and Kenya
Thanks to the prietas, the whites and the trigueas
Thank you government, for stealing so much from us and every 4 years dressing up as a saint
Thanks to the courts for having two bars and making justice a thing
expensive
Thanks to the boss more than the inspiration he gives me
And to the abayardes who go to all
Ito caanga, my ostarga teacher
The confined, and confined for not chatting
Thanks to the neighborhoods and the hamlets
For supporting what I do, for being one of mine
Thanks to the general public that supports me
Thank you, I declare
Thank you bitch, thank you
Thanks to the neighborhoods and the hamlets
For supporting what I do, for being one of mine
Thanks to the general public that supports me
Thank you, I declare
Thank you bitch, thank you
Thanks to my corduroy Elias, hey
Thanks to all those people of mine, hey
And to the general public that supports me
Thank you, I declare
Thank you bitch, thank you
And the one who pirated me, daddy
You took one, two, three to the face so you know how it is
From the abayarde, daddy
Hey I don't play
This black is fire
Papi, hey so you respect
Hey, so you get involved if you don't have what it takes, take the hill
I walk with Ekko, making faces against the keto
So you can see that I do put it
afuguete
Hey, we went to Algarete
I thought you already knew about this crazy black man
I thought that you already knew about me
Greeting my people from down there, from Loiza
So that they know
that really angers me
I walk slowly, but your slowness makes me lonely
That is what happens
Hey, never fuck with my house, pa'
This is the Tego Calde'
Again
So that they know how it is
Hey, you haven't seen anyone like me before
I know that you don't, I know that you don't
So why are you going to confront me, you bastard song?
It's the Tego Calde', the hijuelagranputa in the microphone
Haha!
Don't mess around, monkey
That I'm always alone
And as I want, I disown them
We went on fire, Ekko!
Drop it pal damn!
