El Primer Lugar

I don't like second place
The best is to have the first
When it comes to love, my friend
I gladly hear 'I love you'
And speaking of material things
May money never be lacking in the pocket

Since I was a child, I dreamed of succeeding
But that doesn't make me feel on top of the world
I don't mock those who have nothing
On the contrary, I offer my help
Blessings come from heaven
If you give without hesitation

Many have and don't give a piece of bread
Not even a greeting of affection
I don't know what they can gain
If they walk sowing contempt
But my people do love me
They greet me warmly and respectfully

I told myself, if I'm going to fight
It's because I can win the battle
Whoever wants to reach the goal
Will have to put in a lot of effort
Work is sought early
Don't stay asleep in bed

Don't think I'm setting an example
Nor am I boasting
I've fought daily in life
To give to the people I love
I don't like second place
The best is to have the first
