Enseñanza De Los Viejos (part. Pepe Aguilar)

From my mother I inherited being a good person
And my father taught me not to be ordinary
With pride I carry the teachings of my grandpa
Thanks to my nanny, today I am a decent man
I'm one who doesn't care about money
Because I wasn't born from bills

If I shake your hand, it's because I want to
If I deny you a greeting, there's a reason
I grew up with the teachings of the elders
It's not my style to pretend
For me, what matters most is the word
And I don't speak just to talk

I can't stand gossipers
And there are few people around me
When I feel like having a drink
If I have money to spend, then I'll have it
I take it easy over there, by the shore
But know that I notice everything

I have friends with money and without money
But what matters is always the person
What you wear, that doesn't matter to me
Respect is more beautiful than fashion
Whether you dress in patent leather or sandals
You know that death doesn't spare anyone

At my table, what's there is for everyone
Even if it's just beans with tortillas
When the jug has water, it's enough
Because the meat will sizzle on the grill
You have to be there for those who are always there for you
That's why I'm one hundred percent with my crew

I tip my hat to my elders
For giving me very good advice
A greeting to those who passed away
I have faith that we'll see them again
For now, I'm going to hit the road
It was a pleasure to greet them
