Yo Tengo Un Ángel

I have an angel who protects me from the jealous
And that angel protects me, doesn’t care if I’m a sinner
I have an angel who’s always right behind me
And an army of warriors
And that angel protects me from those who aren’t sincere

The drama begins
I get up from my bed
I brush my teeth
And watch the sun rise

I light a candle with great care
And outside I hear the neighborhood, not knowing who’s gonna die
And fate isn’t written
We write it ourselves

It’s up to us to write our fate
And even if life gets tough
And the government makes it worse
It’s up to us to decide

There are days when I cross the neighborhood
In the middle of a shootout, he’s right behind me
If I sometimes hate being alive
And lose hope, he’s right behind me

If I get confused and lose my faith
Halfway through, the angel tells me
Get up from the bed and face
Life because you were born to survive

I have an angel
Who protects me from the jealous
And that angel protects me, doesn’t care if I’m a sinner
I have an angel who’s always right behind me
And an army of warriors
And that angel protects me from those who aren’t sincere

And I confess that what I just described in this verse
Is the story of the pain that wanted to break my bones
Like any human, I’ve had my stumbles
But the angel stays with me even when I have no cash

His protection is priceless
Goes beyond the real, spiritual, I know he won’t fail me
He’s seen me laugh but also cry
Everyone has their angel, their way of dealing

There are days when I cross the neighborhood
In the middle of a shootout, he’s right behind me
If I sometimes hate being alive
And lose hope, he’s right behind me

If I get confused and lose my faith
Halfway through, the angel tells me
Get up from the bed and face
Life because you were born to survive
Get up from the bed and face
Life because you were born to survive

I have an angel
Who protects me from the jealous
And that angel protects me, doesn’t care if I’m a sinner
I have an angel who’s always right behind me
And an army of warriors
And that angel protects me from those who aren’t sincere

My mom always told me I had an angel
Hey, who was always protecting me
And now I realize it’s true
I’m not the only one, everyone has an angel behind them
You just have to know him and push forward in life
This is the Gallego, the neighborhood theater
There are days when I cross the neighborhood

In the middle of a shootout, he’s right behind me
If I sometimes hate being alive
And lose hope, he’s right behind me

If I get confused and lose my faith
Halfway through, the angel tells me
Get up from the bed and face
Life because you were born to survive
Get up from the bed and face
Life because you were born to survive
