El Rey [English translation]

I know full well that you think I’m an outcast, but the day that I die—I know that you will weep.

(Weep and weep

Weep and weep)

You’ll say that you didn’t love me, but you will be filled with sadness and you’re going to stay like that.

With or without money, I do always what I desire and my word is law.

I don’t have a throne or a queen or anyone that can understand me but, I’m still a king!

Along my path, there was a rock that taught me that my destiny had always been to roll and roll.

(Roll and roll

Roll and roll)

I also saw a mule driver that told me, “It’s not a matter of being first, but a matter of knowing how to arrive.”

With or without money, I do always what I desire and my word is law.

I don’t have a throne or a queen or anyone that can understand me but, I’m still a king!
