Among the Poor

Among the poor I was born,
Among the poor I grew up,
Among the poor I am living,
And among the poor I will die.
 
I always wanted to live,
And because I wanted to, I live.
By merely saying yes,
Our destiny is fulfilled.
 
I come from where the Devil
Lost his status,
The conquerer, the power
And the innocence, Maria.
 
I come from where Francisco
Marries Teresa
Every night of the year
And practically all of the siestas.
 
I usually spend the winter
With the firewood that I gather.
I am neither a slave, nor a master
To be living off of others.
 
The hornero 1makes a nest
like I make my song.
To each his own,
it is the law of creation.
 
Perhaps tomorrow I will go
If it occurs to me to leave,
And if I don't feel like it
I will stay around here.
 
The world will not be poorer
The day that I die,
Another scoundrel will go around
Agitating throughout the land.
 
I don't waste time taking care of myself,
Life is a beautiful danger.
Out of the perils of love,
My mother had seven children.
 
If she had taken of herself
From my father and his passion,
At this gathering tonight
A singer would be missing.
