No Soy Monedita de Oro

I'm Not a Golden Coin

No Soy Monedita de Oro

I was born a northerner to the fullest,Naci norteño hasta el tope,
I like to speak the truth,me gusta decir verdades,
I'm a stone that can't be smoothedsoy piedra que no se alisa
no matter how much you carve and carve,por mas que talles y talles,

I'm stubborn as a mule,soy terco como una mula,
Where are you going that I can't find you?¿a dónde vas que no te halle?

They don't like me at your houseEn tu casa no me quieren
because I'm always singing,porque me vivo cantando,
They say I'm a mariachime dicen que soy mariachi
and that I don't have moneyy que no tengo pa' cuando

to buy you a wedding dress,mercarte el traje de novia,
that I'm taking away your time.que el tiempo te estoy quitando.

I'm not a golden coinNo soy monedita de oro
to please everyone;pa' caerle bien a todos;
That's how I was born and that's how I am,asi naci y asi soy,
if they don't like me, too bad.si no me quieren, ni modo.

I have the sky as my roof,El cielo tengo por techo,
just the sun as my blanket,nomas el sol por cobija,
two arms to support you,dos brazos pa' mantenerte,
a heart for your life;un corazón pa' tu vida;

Go, run and tell your parents,ve, corre y dile a tus padres,
let's see who gives more for their daughter.a ver quien da mas por su hija.

I'm not a golden coinNo soy monedita de oro
to please everyone;pa' caerle bien a todos;
That's how I was born and that's how I am,asi naci y asi soy,
if they don't like me, too bad.si no me quieren, ni modo.
