Buscándole A La Suerte Lyrics English Translation by Julión Álvarez y su Norteño Banda
I came over here, seeking my fortune,
Because on that side, the bills weren’t falling.
And even though it was tough to leave my homeland,
I blessed myself, and let it be as God wills.
I fell to this place, and we started from scratch,
Don’t think it’s so easy to come and make money.
That’s just how it had to be; I’m not complaining,
I think it’s normal to miss your people a lot.
I’m grinding hard at work,
I’m moving forward.
One gets used to everything,
Except for damn hunger.
May being far away be worth it,
My family is already happy.
They lack nothing now, just me, and soon I’ll turn around
To see my folks and hug them with all my strength.
If I can help, I never hesitate.
I don’t forget the friends who were there in bad times.
I can’t wait to go back and have some beers
With the people I love and all those who await me.
I’m grinding hard at work,
I’m moving forward.
One gets used to everything,
Except for damn hunger.
May being far away be worth it,
My family is already happy.
They lack nothing now, just me, and soon I’ll turn around
To see my folks and hug them with all my strength.
I came over here, seeking my fortune.
