Mi Cruz Lyrics English Translation by Reality
(For all the times I said I’d change and it never happened, I wanna say I’m sorry,
We were born with no chances but we wanted it all, and here I am still trying.)
Red lingerie under my shirt,
She asks me how and I let her choose,
Sorry if I move too fast but I’m in a hurry,
I want your little eyes on my daughters’ faces.
Your cheap excuses don’t work on me,
I know what it’s like to lose myself with no map,
Gold teeth and silver earrings,
What I’d give for a kiss from that girl.
You,
Who stood by me when the hood was my cross,
Me with straight rum, you with piña and Malibu,
Now the club lights shine on you,
Feels like you fell for a rockstar.
For all the times I said I’d change and it never happened,
I wanna say I’m sorry,
We were born with no chances but we wanted it all,
And here I am still trying.
They look for love ‘cause they lack affection,
They chase first place but end up in last,
The class valedictorian started with crime,
Now he’s got fifteen years inside.
Love for the mother who raised us alone,
Who worked two jobs without watching the clock,
Who raised two boys to become men,
So those men wouldn’t leave another mother alone.
From the school of values and family,
From splitting everything in half even when there’s nothing,
From learning through our grandparents’ stories,
From sitting in the cool night air just talking in the village.
Looking back scares me—what we’ve been through,
She told me between olives and glasses of wine,
I bought her a grand reserve worth five hundred bucks,
But all she wanted was more time with me.
You,
Who stood by me when the hood was my cross,
Me with straight rum, you with piña and Malibu,
Now the club lights shine on you,
Feels like you fell for a rockstar.
For all the times I said I’d change and it never happened,
I wanna say I’m sorry,
We were born with no chances but we wanted it all,
And here I am still trying.
For all the times I said I’d change and it never happened,
I wanna say I’m sorry,
We were born with nothing in our bellies but we wanted it all,
And here I am still trying.
