ya la fortuna lo esquivaba,

un encuentro inesperado,
an unexpected encounter,
su anatomía marcaba.

Pero ese solo fue el inicio,
But that was just the beginning,
de su peculiar trayectoria,

pues nuestro amigo del barrio,
because our friend from the neighborhood,
athesora mucha historia.

[Verso 2] · Verse 2
En otra ocasión, en la calle,

con gran júbilo festejaba,

con fuegos de artificio,
with fireworks,
la noche iluminaba.

Mas un proyectil errante,
But a stray projectile,
dejó su huella imborrable,

cerca de su ojo izquierdo,
near his left eye,
un recuerdo inolvidable.

un relato ha construido.

[Verso 3] · Verse 3
No le teme a los desafíos,

ni a la crítica mordaz,
nor biting criticism,
si le indagan por sus señales,
if they ask about his marks,
una anécdota les da.

La primera fue la madera,
The first was the wood,
la roca vino después,

y si prosigue su camino,

¿quién sabe qué vendrá esta vez?

su espíritu no se doma.

Que resuene el instrumento,

y su legado se mantiene!

Lines explained
“su anatomía marcaba.”
marked his anatomy.
This line humorously describes an injury that left a mark on his body, hinting at the many physical 'souvenirs' Tío Titi collects.
“El del "Puro Fresco Aroma",”
The one with the "Pure Fresh Aroma",
The phrase "Puro Fresco Aroma" (Pure Fresh Aroma) is likely a nickname or a catchphrase associated with Tío Titi, possibly a playful reference to the 'menthol cigarette' in the title, suggesting he's cool or distinctive.
“un relato ha construido.”
he has built a story.
This line encapsulates the essence of the song: every scar or mark on Tío Titi's skin is not just an injury but a chapter in his life story, making him a living legend.
