Tienes el alma de provinciana

Hueles a limpio, a rosa temprana
You smell of cleanliness, of early rose
A verde jara fresca del rio

Son mil palomas tu caserio

Guadalajara, Guadalajara
Guadalajara, Guadalajara
Sabes a pura tierra mojada
You taste like pure wet earth
Ay! colomitos lejanos
Oh! Distant little doves
Ay! ojitos de agua hermanos
Oh! Little water eyes, brothers
Ay colomitos inolvidables
Oh unforgettable little doves
Inolvidables como las tardes
Unforgettable like the evenings
En que la lluvia desde la loma

Tus olorosos jarritos
Your fragrant little jugs
Hacen mas fresco el dulce tepache

Para la birria, junto al mariachi

Que en los parianes y alfarerias

Suenan con triste melacolia

Arriba las chivas
Up with the goats
