El Tequilero

The Tequila Maker

El Tequilero

I am from pure JaliscoYo soy de puro Jalisco
from those tequila landsde esas tierras tequileras
my pride is being from the highlandsmi orgullo es ser de los altos
territory of the beaststerritorio de las fiera
I bring the blood of the bravetraigo sangres de valiente
don't think I'm just anyone.no crean que soy un cualquiera.

I'm risking my skinMe ando rifando el pellejo
but that's how I live happilypero así vivo contento
I don't boast of being damnedno presumo de maldito
but the dead don't scare mepero no me espanta el muerto
I'm passionate about the forbiddenme apasiona lo prohibido
I'm a hundred percent scoundrel.soy malandrín cien por ciento.

With the table well setCon la mesa bien servida
and the mariachi on one sidey el mariachi por un lado
I don't give a damn about lifeme vale madre la vida
when I'm revved upcuando estoy acelerado
I shout long live my Jaliscogrito arriba mi Jalisco
because it has never backed down.porque nunca se ha rajado.

Through Tepatitlan and ArandasPor Tepatitlan y Arandas
through San Ignacio and Cuquiopor San Ignacio y Cuquio
between cockfights and racesentre gallos y carreras
every territory is minetodo el territorio es mío
I don't even count the womenlas mujeres ni las cuento
I've had them in heaps.por montones he tenido.

The government is looking for meMe anda buscando el gobierno
but doesn't want to find mepero no quiere encontrarme
there's no crazy person who swallows fireno hay loco que trague lumbre
because the burners burnporque los quemones arden
many have sat heremuchos aquí se han sentado
and haven't gotten back up.y no han vuelto a levantarse.

A greeting to the damnedUn saludo a los malditos
from my town and ranchesde mi pueblo y rancheradas
there I leave you my balladahí les dejo mi corrido
take the curse off your squadsáquenle el mojo a su escuadra
farewell from the tequila makerse despide el tequilero
long live my heavy raceviva mi raza pesada
