Intro - Daddy Yankee, Alberto Stylee, Eddie Dee

Nací en donde la vida me ha hecho hombre

Acorrala’o de gente buena

Entusiasma’o por la idea de ser grande

Evadiendo el dolor y la pena

Nací entre calles oscuras, nací en donde vivo

Nací en donde, sin duda, para mucha gente está prohibido

Aquí he soña'o con la vida, aquí he juga’o con la suerte

Aquí la maldad está prohibida, entre nosotros, entre mi gente

Lo llamo «barrio» con orgullo

Lo llaman «barrio» los de afuera

Y el honor por nacer aquí me lo atribuyo

Yo que soy quien soy, a mi manera

De barrio, pero de barrio fino, como mi gente

Gente que lucha, gente que siente

Yo no soy de un barrio a la deriva, sin destino

No, yo soy de barrio, pero de un barrio fino

Y de ahí nace un joven

Que no sabía lo que le tenía preparado el destino

Destino que lo llevó hasta la música

La cual le ha dado grandes satisfacciones y grandes galardones

Pero ninguno de ellos tiene tanto significado para él

Como lo ha sido el cariño y el respeto de su público

Yankee, usted tiene la última palabra

I was born where life has made me a man

Acorrala'o of good people

Enthusiasm for the idea of ​​being great

Avoiding pain and sorrow

I was born between dark streets, I was born where I live

I was born where, without a doubt, for many people it is prohibited

Here I have dreamed of life, here I have played with luck

Evil is forbidden here, between us, between my people

I call it "neighborhood" with pride

Outsiders call it "neighborhood"

And I attribute the honor to be born here

I am who I am, in my own way

From the neighborhood, but from the fine neighborhood, like my people

People who fight, people who feel

I'm not from a drifting neighborhood, without a destination

No, I'm from the neighborhood, but from a fine neighborhood

And from there a young man is born

That he didn't know what fate had in store for him

Destiny that led him to music

Which has given him great satisfaction and great awards

But none of them mean so much to him

As has been the love and respect of his public

Yankee, you have the last word
