A Pico Pala y Corazón Lyrics English Translation by Josue Rarujo
I haven’t received help
Because I never wanted it
Nobody can hold anything against me
Nothing fell from the sky for me
God help me, it cost me
Out of a ruin I built a castle
I don’t forget where I come from
From Seville, and well known
And around Germany and France
Because what I do
High-value cars
I have them and I’m still
The same
My name is Ismael
And on my list of friends
There are few
With pick and shovel and heart
And with soul
And the drive
I never lacked it
And fame doesn’t change me
Pick and shovel and heart
And with soul
And with drive
Everything came to me
And fame doesn’t change me
Cabeza Pico is my nickname
My kids before the gold
They’re my Pepe and my Ismael, everything
For them I hit rock bottom
Then my Leila came
Filled my life with joy
Going around in circles in my head
I don’t forget the few
Friends I vouch for
And not the others either
The ones who didn’t believe in me
I see their shocked faces
I’m noble and transparent
But I always go
With a thousand eyes
With pick and shovel and heart
And with soul
And with drive
Everything came to me
And fame doesn’t change me
With pick and shovel and heart
And with soul
And with drive
Everything came to me
And fame doesn’t change me
With pick and shovel and heart
My kids are what I love most
My Leila filled me with dreams
Everything came to me
Neither money nor fame
Changes me
With pick and shovel and heart
And with soul
And with drive
Everything came to me
And fame doesn’t change me
