HIJO DE VOLCÁN Lyrics English Translation by Quevedo
Until the sun stops shining on us
And the wind stops roaring
Here we’re gonna stay
Here we plan to keep going
We’re surrounded by an endless sea
That separates us and unites us
I was born from a volcano
I was born from a volcano
With money I’m never satisfied
And yet everything I love is priceless
I change my accountant more than my girl
My love is pure, my business is steady
And I still feel lonely inside the convertible
If Jader doesn’t like you, nobody likes you
Baby if we give you attention it’s so you dance
And leave with our crew ’cause I couldn’t be with you
So you can say you hung with the friend of the friend of
Everyone talks about being up here but none of them are up here
Nobody hears me, I only talk to God when I talk upward
I know they’re bitter and dying of curiosity
And they wanna skip steps to get to my level
And they wanna stand next to me to understand what I’ve got
They wanna know my next move ahead of time
And for me being myself will never be a move
Intuition, bro
I dream that my kids never drop out of school
And keep going down to the island to eat cheap
Even though my diamonds are certified, not moissanite
I contradict myself all the time, but it makes me feel alive
Humble and arrogant, but both for reasons
I’ll die waiting for a heartfelt message from my father
And from my mother some honest compliment
Avoidant attachment
I show up and disappear, both without a sound
I don’t say hi or goodbye
They don’t even know I arrived, or that I’m already gone
But I’m everywhere you can’t get in (Where you can’t get in)
My circle’s closed, bro, nobody gets in here
And even though you know you don’t fit, bro, why try?
You just show you’re grasping at a burning nail
And we’ve been brothers way before the paychecks
We’re few, but none of us are gonna fold
I don’t hide the truth, even if I know it’ll hurt
I hate people who introduce themselves twenty times ’cause they don’t remember my name
Never happened to me, I never introduce myself by name
’Cause you all already know it
Going back to the viewpoints where I dreamed of this
Seven years later and I’m still dreaming of this
I still ask myself if I deserve this
But I always knew someone was gonna have to do this
And I have nightmares that won’t let me sleep
We really had nothing to lose
A long time ago my idols fell apart
That’s why you’ll never really know me
I don’t wanna fall in your eyes
Like those bastards who already forgot who they were
Models in my contacts, presidents in my wallet
Bumps and peaks in my career
That I camouflage with albums and magazine covers
Only if I read the questions first do I show up for that interview
If it’s not for two hundred, I’m not getting out of my pajamas
Give me a house if you want me to get out of bed
I have such a toxic relationship with fame
That I keep screwing it even though I know it doesn’t love me
And even though I’m loaded with cash, status, and chains
I’ve got a void inside that nothing can fill
And I’ve got money to take care of my grandkids’ grandkids
I’ve got problems that for less would dig you a hole
And I’m chill, on the island in some corner
Sitting in front of the sea telling it my secrets
Always low-key, but here everyone knows my car
Never scared, but just in case I carry a piece
I’m El Baifo, what am I supposed to be afraid of?
What am I supposed to be afraid of if God is with me?
It takes more than hating me to be my enemy
It takes more than praying to be blessed
It takes more than hooking up, baby, I’m selective
I was born from a volcano, from the voice of a silenced people
Here they teach you to endure and keep your head down
I went around the world before I made a dime
And now I hold mommy while hanging up on a lawyer, you get it?
I’m just one of the crowd
Who held the pressure
And bought the mansion, ah
I had nothing, just me and my vision
And I let time prove me right
I hate the passing of time
I tossed the Cartier Santos
I want summer in Las Canteras, not in Pasito Blanco
Come back from tour and everything still the same
Teide in the background painting it white
If you don’t take care of traditions, they get lost
And I hope the ones who come remember them
This is for Tacoronte and Valverde, for Arrecife and Telde
Eight stars tattooed on my career
(Until the sun stops shining on us
And the wind stops roaring
Here we’re gonna stay
Here we plan to keep going
We’re surrounded by an endless sea
That separates us and unites us
I was born from a volcano
I was born from a volcano)
Until the sun stops shining on us
And the wind stops roaring
Here we’re gonna stay
Here we plan to keep going
We’re surrounded by an endless sea
That separates us and unites us
I was born from a volcano
I was born from a volcano
