Lyrics
Español
Yo soy bien de abajo y anduve a los tumbos cuerpeando la mala y al fin le gané. Me pesó en el lomo conservar el rumbo. Me costó mis golpes, pero no aflojé. Peleé por la luz que quisieron robarme y si perdí cosas, salvé lo mejor. Hoy tengo el orgullo de no doblegarme. De saber que nadie me vende un buzón. Por eso mi tango nació retobado. Porque me he cansado de ver aguantar. Cuando creo en alguien, me pongo a su lado. Y si estoy jugado no me vuelvo atrás. Y si es que mi vida la vivo a los saltos, tengo tanto asfalto, que caigo 'parao'. Soy sangre rebelde, muchacho de abajo. Yo creo en mis brazos, en lo que ellos dan. Y del lado izquierdo me caigo a pedazos, cuando unos ojazos me miran de más. Mi barrio y mi gente escuchan mi credo que a los barquinazos aprendí a cantar. Como un canto arisco, donde el sol que muerdo calienta mis labios para protestar.

I'm from right down at the bottom and I went about stumbling dodging the bad luck and in the end I beat it. It weighed on my back to keep my course. It cost me my knocks, but I never gave in. I fought for the light they tried to steal from me and if I lost things, I saved the best. Today I have the pride of not bending. Of knowing that nobody sells me a postbox. And so my tango was born stubborn. Because I've got tired of watching people put up with it. When I believe in somebody, I stand at their side. And if I'm committed I don't go back. And if it's true that my life I live it in leaps and bounds, I've got so much asphalt in me, that I land on my feet. I'm rebel blood, a lad from the bottom. I believe in my arms, in what they can give. And on my left side I fall to pieces, when a pair of great eyes look at me too long. My neighborhood and my people hear my creed that through the batterings I learned to sing. Like a rough song, where the sun I bite into warms my lips so I can protest.
