Fiesta Mexicana

Mexican Party

Fiesta Mexicana

From the countryside where I was bornDesde el campo en que he nacido
I come to take a lookVengo a echar una visteada
At the party of my ranchA la fiesta de mi rancho
Overflowing with illusionRebosante de ilusión

To the beautiful womenA las mujeres bonitas
I bring perfumed flowersTraigo flores perfumadas
And to the reliable cowboysY a los charros cumplidores
I bring my best songTraigo mi mejor canción

Oh, how beautiful is the ranch partyAy, qué bonita es la fiesta del rancho
Where the air smells pure of vetiver and starchDonde huele el aire puro a vetana y amidon
Where a kiss tastes like gloryDonde un beso sabe a gloria
Under a wide-brimmed hatDebajo de un sombrero ancho
And we are sheltered by a sarape heart to heartY nos cobija un sarape corazón con corazón

The zapateado dance splinters the stageEl jarabe zapateado saca astillas al tablado
And the enthusiastic mariachi plays non-stopY el mariachi entusiasmado lanza sones sin parar
The cockfight overflows with the blood of a covered oneEl palenque se rebosa con la sangre de un tapado
And a flirtatious girl seeks love through songY una china coquetona busca amores al cantar

Bet on the grey rooster against the ColoradoApuestenle al gallo giro que va contra el Colorado
This rooster never loses as I have it well trainedEste gallo nunca pierde pues lo traigo bien calado
Place your bets, gentlemen, take advantage of the opportunityHagan apuestas señores aprovechen la ocasión
Because in the end, I don't charge the winners commissionQue al cabo a los ganadores no les cobro comision

Oh, how lovely is my little ranchAy, qué rechulo es el ranchito mío
Where everyone forgets their sorrows and painDonde todo el mundo olvida los pesares y el dolor
To see beautiful women, one must be in the lowlandsPara ver mujeres lindas hay que estar en el bajio
The beauty is immense and the shelter of my loveEs gigante la hermosura y cobijo de mi amor

Oh, it's the party of my landAy, es la fiesta de la tierra mía
That rejoices with the playful mariachi songsQue se alegra con los cantos del mariachi retozon
And this beauty that adorns itself with the clear light of dayY esta linda que se adorna con la clara luz del día
Overflowing with enthusiasm, warmth, and emotionDesbordante de entusiasmo de calor y de emoción
