The Princess

La Princesa

From Jalisco she arrived in CuliacánDe Jalisco llego a Culiacán
With money to bet at the cockfightCon dinero al palenque a apostar
Tall and white, what a beautyAlta y blanca, que chulada
The most beautiful Tapatío eyesLos más lindos ojos Tapatíos
What a beauty, like a princessQue belleza, de princesa
Who, when cheering, drew sighsQue al alentar destapaba suspiros

Money is made to spendEl dinero se hizo pa' gastar
And luck to play destinyY la suerte el destino jugar
One hundred thousand dollars for a ladyCien mil verdes, pa' una dama
Not just anyone can handle it, my friendNo cualquiera le atora mi amigo
But being in SinaloaPero estando en Sinaloa
Money is harvested in kilosEl dinero se cosecha en kilos

Armandito was already drinkingQue Armandito ya andaba tomando
Luckily winning in the cockfightsPor fortuna en los gallos ganando
Who is that, they askedQuien es esa, preguntaba
How much will you bet on my roosterCuanto le va a apostar a mi giro
One hundred thousand dollars for the cokesCien mil verdes, pa' las cocas
Ramiro answers with a smileMuy sonriente contesta Ramiro

The knives are being tiedLas navajas se están amarrando
The money was being huntedEl dinero se estqba cazando
It's 200, in dollarsSon 200, de los verdes
Armandito has faith in the roosterArmandito le tiene fe al giro
The very flirtatious PrincessLa Princesa muy coqueta
Sends a sigh to ColoradoAl Colorado le echa un suspiro

The ring trembles with excitementEl anillo tiembla de emoción
The knives bring the decisionLas navajas traen la decisión
Two minutes of battleDos minutos, de batalla
In the victorious wind, the roosterEn el viento victorioso el giro
There's no remedy for the dark oneNo hay remedio, pa'l' retinto
Who has already stuck the beak in the groundQue en el suelo ya ha clavado el pico

Armando said he invites you to the partyDijo Armando te invito la fiesta
So you know there's no offense herePa' que sepas que aquí no hay ofensa
With drinks, bottlesCon los tragos, las botellas
The caresses became pleasantLas caricias se hicieron amenas
Embraced, intertwinedAbrazados, empernados
The rivals end the partyLos rivales terminan la fiesta

The surprise came in the morningLa sorpresa surgió en la mañana
Because The Princess was no longer therePorque La Princesa ya no estaba
Not a Mercedes, not three RolexesNi un Mercedes, ni tres Rolex
Nor the 200 wonTampoco los 200 ganados
The Princess left angrySalió brava La Princesa
Having bet one hundred thousand on ColoradoQue aposto ciem mil al Colorado
