Canción del Mariachi
Soy un hombre muy honrado
Que me gusta lo mejor
Las mujeres no me faltan
Ni al dinero, ni el amor
Jineteando en mi caballo
Por la sierra yo me voy
Las estrellas y la luna,
Ellas me dicen donde voy
Ay, ay, ay, ay
Ay, ay mi amor
Ay mi morena
De mi corazón
Me gusta tocar guitarra
Me gusta cantar el son
Mariachi me acompaña
Cuando canto mi canción
Me gusta tomar mis copas
Aguardiente es lo mejor
También el tequila blanco
Con su sal le da sabor
Ay, ay, ay, ay
Ay, ay mi amor
Ay mi morena
De mi corazón
Me gusta tocar guitarra
Me gusta cantar el son
Mariachi me acompaña
Cuando canto mi canción
Me gusta tomar mis copas
Aguardiente es lo mejor
También el tequila blanco
Con su sal le da sabor
Ay, ay, ay, ay
Ay, ay mi amor
Ay mi morena
De mi corazón
Ay, ay, ay, ay
Ay, ay mi amor
Ay mi morena
De mi corazón

The Mariachi's Song
Versions: #1#2
I'm a very honorable man
And I like the best things
I don't lack women
Nor money, nor love
Riding my horse
I go through the sierra
The stars and the moon,
They tell me where I am going
Ay, ay, ay, ay
Ay, ay my love
Ay brown skinned girl
Of my heart
I like to play the guitar
I like to sing songs
The mariachi plays the accompaniment
When I sing my song
I like to drink alcohol
Aguardiente is the best
And also white tequila
With salt, it enhances its flavour
Ay, ay, ay, ay
Ay, ay my love
Ay brown skinned girl
Of my heart
I like to play the guitar
I like to sing songs
The mariachi plays the accompaniment
When I sing my song
I like to drink alcohol
Aguardiente is the best
And also white tequila
With salt, it enhances its flavor
Ay, ay, ay, ay
Ay, ay my love
Ay brown skinned girl
Of my heart
Ay, ay, ay, ay
Ay, ay my love
Ay brown skinned girl
Of my heart
