El Malcria'o (part. Juancho De La Espriella)

Here we are again, Juancho
At our last dance
I love you, brother

Spoiled at home and accepted on the street
But scared of God, that's how I started in the valley
I was the youngest of my friends, a natural leader
I kept knocking on doors until I managed to open them
I kept knocking on doors until I could open them

Oh, I walked, I soaked up the sun, I got wet
I was so strong, God was my guide
Many times I stayed up all night
It was worth it because I kept pushing
All those times I stayed up all night
It was worth it because I kept pushing

Oh, I dreamed, I danced, I sang
Patiently, I waited
I never gave up
While my turn was coming

Today, I want to thank
Those who supported me
Without any interest
Their applause lifted me

I bless the town and the upbringing from my grandparents
Who raised me by example, alongside my parents
I’m grateful for enduring mistakes and lies
It was from stumbling so much that I learned my worth
It was from stumbling so much that I learned my worth

The wounds I opened and didn’t close
Still hurt me, I want to heal them
The one who let me down, I forgave
Extend your hand, and it’s all good
The one who let me down, I forgave
Come on, extend your hand, and it’s all good

Oh, I dreamed, I danced, I sang
Patiently, I waited
I never gave up
While my turn was coming

Today I want to thank
Those I partied with
Without any interest
Their applause lifted me
