And I want to rideY yo le quiero montar
That mare for being fastA esa yegua por ligera
The queen of the tracksLa reyna de los carriles
They call her the skirtQue le llaman la pollera

At 2 years oldA los 2 años de edad
She started being the championEmpezo a ser la campeona
Born in San IgnacioEn san ignacio a nacido
Running like a lionessCorriendo como una leona
Defeating there in San PedroDerrotando alla en san pedro
A horse from the hillA un caballo de la loma

The sovereign of the northLa soberana del norte
The best in racesEn carreras la mejor
To the black cat in ChihuahuaAl gato negro en chihuahua
She took the crownLa corona le quito
Ask the CubanPreguntenselo al cubano
How it went for him in TorreónComo le fue alla en torreón

Expo in Gómez PalacioExpo de gómez palacio
The skirt very activeLa pollera muy activa
Made a fine fillyHizo que tragara el polvo
Swallow the dustUna potranca muy fina
There she took away the undefeatedHay le quito lo invicto
From the one they called the quinaA quien llamaban la quina

And up San Ignacio and all its people cousinY arriba san ignacio y toda su gente primo

The skirt is challengingLa pollera esta retando
At the San Ignacio ranchEn el rancho san ignacio
She is waiting for themHaya los esta esperando

Everyone was shoutingGritaba toda la gente
How beautiful the skirt isQue bonita es la pollera
The filly is dancingLa potranca va bailando
So everyone could see herPara que todos la vieran
And even more if she hears a huapangoY mas si escucha un huapango
With the band from La LagunaCon la banda lagunera

You who have conquered the desertTu que al desierto has vencido
The triumphs of the skirtLos triunfos de la pollera
You were also a witnessTu tambien fuiste testigo
Now she lacks nothingAhora ya nada le falta
Because she already has her corridoPues ya tiene su corrido

The skirt says goodbyeLa pollera se despide
She's going to rest for a whileSe va un rato a descansar
In San Ignacio, CoahuilaEn san ignacio coahuila
She will wait for everyoneA todos los va a esperar
So they can come and take awayPa' que vallan y le quiten
Her winning habitLa costumbre de ganar
