No Soy Monedita de Oro
Naci norteño hasta el tope,
me gusta decir verdades,
soy piedra que no se alisa
por mas que talles y talles,
soy terco como una mula,
¿a dónde vas que no te halle?
En tu casa no me quieren
porque me vivo cantando,
me dicen que soy mariachi
y que no tengo pa' cuando
mercarte el traje de novia,
que el tiempo te estoy quitando.
No soy monedita de oro
pa' caerle bien a todos;
asi naci y asi soy,
si no me quieren, ni modo.
El cielo tengo por techo,
nomas el sol por cobija,
dos brazos pa' mantenerte,
un corazón pa' tu vida;
ve, corre y dile a tus padres,
a ver quien da mas por su hija.
No soy monedita de oro
pa' caerle bien a todos;
asi naci y asi soy,
si no me quieren, ni modo.
I'm Not a Golden Coin
I was born a northerner to the fullest,
I like to speak the truth,
I'm a stone that can't be smoothed
no matter how much you carve and carve,
I'm stubborn as a mule,
Where are you going that I can't find you?
They don't like me at your house
because I'm always singing,
They say I'm a mariachi
and that I don't have money
to buy you a wedding dress,
that I'm taking away your time.
I'm not a golden coin
to please everyone;
That's how I was born and that's how I am,
if they don't like me, too bad.
I have the sky as my roof,
just the sun as my blanket,
two arms to support you,
a heart for your life;
Go, run and tell your parents,
let's see who gives more for their daughter.
I'm not a golden coin
to please everyone;
That's how I was born and that's how I am,
if they don't like me, too bad.
