Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

El barrio de tierra blanca
Se hizo mi familia, es como mi casa
Recuerdo a mi viejo, soy hijo de barrio
De nombre ranchero, de historia afamada

Porfirio Diaz es mi nombre
Yo con el padrino, estoy a la orden
Le tengo un respeto muy grande a ese hombre
Yo estoy pa'l trabajo, no para el desorden

Muy agradecido con la vida
Por aberme dado esta familia,
Tengo tambien mis negocios
Entre mis amigos tambien tengo socios
Me gusta la fiesta, la vida me gozo
Hay mucho peligro y el tiempo es valioso
Tengo dos criaturas y ellos son mis ojos

Cerca de vadir aguato, sigo el caminito
La sierra, barrancos
Bonitos recuerdos me trajo mi rancho
Amigos familia, recuerdo a mi hermano
Javi te llevo en la mente
Igual a mi padre lo tengo precente
Todos sus consejos me hicieron muy fuerte
Asi yo camino nada me detiene

Muy agradecido con la vida
Por aberme dado esta familia,
Tengo tambien mis negocios
Entre mis amigos tambien tengo socios
Me gusta la fiesta, la vida me gozo
Hay mucho peligro y el tiempo es valioso
Tengo dos criaturas y ellos son mis ojos





Hay quedo pa' toda mi raza
