De Los Cerros La Escuela – Bilingual Lyrics Spanish/English

• By: El De Las R's, Danny Felix

Lyrics & Translation

[English]

And up in the mountains, boys

Just the hills, man

A Beretta for security

Whoever steps in line is gonna get shot, get out of here

I carry iron just like my old man

The mountains were my school, they taught me and instilled values in me

I don't play around, I've earned respect

Because I work straight and I know how to work, no doubt about it

I've fallen for several girls around here

I love them all the same, if you ask me

Humility is what sets me apart

Sometimes on foot and sometimes in a car

But you'll always see me around

Just like that, my friend Danny

The one with the R's

Danny Felix, ha!

A little tequila and some music

The band came to play and bring the girls

Boots and a hat just like my old man

I'm a true rancher, I was raised with good values

What a beautiful horse for dancing

Everything's under control, no one's crossing lines around here

Enemies, I have plenty

But they just talk, "blah, blah, blah," and nothing more

Humility is what sets me apart

Sometimes on foot and sometimes in a car

But you'll always see me around

...

[Spanish]

Y arriba la sierra, plebes

Puro cerro, viejo

Una Beretta pa seguridad

Al que se meta le va a tronar, aazte pa'llá

Traigo metales como mi apá

De los cerros la escuela me fue a enseñar, me fue a inculcar

No ando en la quema y me di a respetar

Porque jalo derecho, pues sé trabajar, de eso, ni hablar

He enamorao varias plebes por ahí

Toditas las quiero todas por igual, me oigo mentar

Me distingue la humildad

A veces a pata y otras en carro

Pero se me ha de mirar

Ahí nomás, mi compa Danny

El de las R's

El Danny Felix, ja

Un tequilita y la música

Me jaló la banda pa amenizar y muchachas

Bota y sombrero como mi 'apa

Yo sí soy ranchero, me fui a inculcar buenas cosas

Chulo el caballo para bailar

Todo controlado, no brincan las cercas por acá

Enemigos, muchos me sobran

Pero solo tiran, "bla, bla, bla", no hacen más

Me distingue la humildad

A veces a pata y otras en carro

Pero se me ha de mirar
