Chicana from Jalisco

Jenni Rivera

Chicana Jalisciense

Cuanto me gusta cantar con la banda
Que se oiga esa tuba muy cerca de mi
Salir de noche y andarme paseando
Con los de mi raza me siento feliz

Yo soy chicana, californiana
Y de jalisco mis padres son
Y mis costumbres son mexicanas
Mi sangra es brava y le canto al amor

Tocenme ahorita el abandonado
El despreciado, el billete tambien
Quiero cantarle a todos mis paisanos
Como jaliscience no me rajare

Y no sere una reina don pedro
Pero no me le rajo señor
Brinden muchachos que son de la banda
Y conjunto norteño les voy a cantar
Pa que no añoren su pueblo querido
Si aca por mi tierra en mexico estan

Viva jalisco y los sonorenses
Es gente alegre que sabe gozar
Porque de ay viene esta hembra valiente
Que estos corridos se atreve cantar

Las malandrinas, reina de reinas,
Mi vida loca y la chaka tambien
Y que la banda siga tocando
Que sea chicana yo les cantare

Chicana from Jalisco

How much I love singing with the band
Let that tuba be heard very close to me
Going out at night and strolling around
With my people, I feel happy

I'm a Chicana, Californian
And from Jalisco my parents are
And my customs are Mexican
My blood is fierce and I sing to love

Play 'El Abandonado' right now
'The Despised One,' 'The Bill' as well
I want to sing to all my countrymen
As a Jalisciense, I won't back down

And I may not be a queen, Don Pedro
But I won't back down, sir
Cheers, boys from the band
And I'll sing to the norteño group
So they don't miss their beloved town
If they're here in Mexico for my land

Long live Jalisco and the Sonorans
They're joyful people who know how to enjoy
Because from there comes this brave woman
Who dares to sing these corridos

The troublemakers, queen of queens
My crazy life and the chaka too
And let the band keep playing
As a Chicana, I'll sing to them
