Ay Jalisco No Te Rajes

Oh, Jalisco, Jalisco, JaliscoAy, Jalisco, Jalisco, Jalisco
You have your girlfriend who is GuadalajaraTú tienes tu novia que es Guadalajara
Beautiful girl, the rarest pearlMuchacha bonita, la perla más rara
Of all Jalisco is my GuadalajaraDe todo Jalisco es mi Guadalajara

And I like to listen to the mariachisY me gusta escuchar los mariachis
Sing their beautiful songs with soulCantar con el alma sus lindas canciones
Hear the sound of those big guitarsOír como suenan esos guitarrones
And have a tequila with the brave onesY echarme un tequila con los valentones

Oh, Jalisco, don't back down!¡Ay, Jalisco no te rajes!
It comes from my soul to shout with warmthMe sale del alma gritar con calor
Open up my chest to let out that shoutAbrir todo el pecho pa echar ese grito
How beautiful Jalisco is, word of honor!¡Qué lindo es Jalisco, palabra de honor!

For women, Jalisco comes firstPa' mujeres, Jalisco primero
The same in the highlands as in the canyonsLo mismo en los altos, que allá en la cañada
Beautiful women, very pretty facesMujeres bonitas, muy chulas de cara
That's how the women from Guadalajara areAsí son las hembras de Guadalajara
In Jalisco, love is done rightEn Jalisco se quiere a la buena
Because it's dangerous to love the wrong wayPorque es peligroso querer a la mala
For a brunette, many bullets are shotPor una morena echar muncha bala
And under the moon, sing to her in ChapalaY bajo la Luna cantarle en Chapala

Oh, Jalisco, don't back down!¡Ay, Jalisco no te rajes!
It comes from my soul to shout with warmthMe sale del alma gritar con calor
Open up my chest, let that shout outAbrir todo el pecho, que salga ese grito
How beautiful Jalisco is, word of honor!¡Qué lindo es Jalisco, palabra de honor!

Oh Jalisco, Jalisco, JaliscoAy Jalisco, Jalisco, Jalisco
Your men are manly and fulfill their dutiesTus hombres son machos y son cumplidores
Brave and tough, and they drinkValientes y ariscos, y son tomadores
They don't admit rivals in matters of loveNo admiten rivales en cosas de amores
Their pride is their charro suit, carrying their gunEs su orgullo su traje de charro, traer su pistola
Strolling on the pintoPasear en el pinto
And with their guitar, impressing manyY con su guitarra echar mucho tipo
And taking the breath away from those who boastY a los que presumen quitarles el hipo

Oh, Jalisco, don't back down!¡Ay, Jalisco no te rajes!
It comes from my soul to shout with warmthMe sale del alma gritar con calor
Open up my chest to let out that shoutAbrir todo el pecho pa echar ese grito
How beautiful Jalisco is!¡Qué lindo es Jalisco!
Word of honor!¡Palabra de honor!
