• Rachel from UsaHere's a translation I made -- It's not a literal word-for-word version, but I wanted to keep as much of the spirit of the original as I could.
  
  Yeah, I know that I’m a roamer,
  And I’ll probably die a loner,
  But I still know you will cry.
  
  Chorus: And cry, and cry
  And cry, and cry.
  
  Well, you say that you don’t need me,
  And that you’ll never grieve me,
  But I’m still saying goodbye.
  
  Might be rich or might need money,
  But I do what I want, honey,
  And my own word’s the one I obey.
  
  Well, I don’t have a castle or queen,
  And there’s no one who knows what I mean,
  But that’s why I’ll always be king.
  
  A simple stone upon the road
  Taught me just to bear my load
  And be who I’m supposed to be.
  
  Chorus: A rolling stone,
  A rolling stone.
  
  I once met an aging trucker,
  Who said being first is for suckers,
  You just have to get there in style.
  
• William from San Antonio, Tx"El Rey" is translated as "The King". A much fitted name.
• Garrett from Phenix City, AlI have to say that when I first heard that George Strait had a song in Spanish, I was very shocked and a little skeptical about how it would sound, because he does not sound like someone you'd hear doing a song in Spanish. Then when I heard it, I was even more shocked that he could actually do it, and how successfully he pulled it off. I am a big fan of Strait's music. I am pretty fluent in Spanish, not as much as I would like to be, but I know it well enough that I can pick up on the pronunciation of the accent and tell if someone's pronouncing the words right. That is why I was skeptical at first about Strait's covering this song. Then I heard it and man it's great. Anybody who hasn't heard it should give it a listen. It is a whole different side of George you wouldn't expect.
