YO TENGO UN ÁNGEL Lyrics English Translation by FERNANDOCOSTA
I got an angel up above
He watches me and showers me with love
From all those who try to bring me down
Now all they got left is to lose the crown
I got an angel by my side
Keeps me clean, keeps me purified
It wasn’t easy, but we made it to the top
Even if some still act like they forgot
With my brothers, hanging out in Mexico
With my fam, sharing all the cred I owe
Don’t need no leeches, don’t need no crew
My best revenge for those rats? Just watch what I do
Nothing was handed, I paid the price
Thanks to my pops, I ain’t no spoiled rich kid’s life
Thanks to my mom, life made me tough
Got a heart of ice, yeah, cold as a bluff
It was just you and me against the world
No cash in my pocket, so we switched up the swirl
For you, I dropped it all, didn’t think twice
A love like the movies—queen and a street life
Now it’s all so clear
I see the way out
Go tell the boss if he wants me out the door
Music’s going strong, this year I tour
I feel eyes from the sky, yeah, they watching for sure
I got an angel up above
He watches me and showers me with love
From all those who try to bring me down
Now all they got left is to lose the crown
I got an angel by my side
Keeps me clean, keeps me purified
It wasn’t easy, but we made it to the top
Even if some still act like they forgot
Another year on the road, fridge full of gold (wow)
You stuck in the past like my old logo
We climbed to first, now I fly in first class
With that face, go on, just ask
I open the door, dash through the graveyard
Where envy’s hands can’t even leave a scar
I got an angel dressed in white, yeah, he guards
And haters mad ‘cause they see me this far
I know the road is long
Live to tell the tale
I’ll make it happen, miracles don’t fail
My brother said what you start, you finish well
See you up there—forgive me if I bail
My son rides high on the beam
Life turned sweet like a dream
We crawled up out of the dirt
Now the block’s just a quick little scene
I got an angel up above
He watches me and showers me with love
From all those who try to bring me down
Now all they got left is to lose the crown
I got an angel by my side
Keeps me clean, keeps me purified
It wasn’t easy, but we made it to the top
Even if some still act like they forgot
I got an angel watching me
I got an angel up there, you see
I got an angel watching me
I got an angel up there, you see
