No Soy Monedita de Oro

Naci norteño hasta el tope,

I was born a northerner to the core,

me gusta decir verdades,

I like to speak the truth,

soy piedra que no se alisa

I'm a stone that won't smooth

por mas que talles y talles,

no matter how much you carve and polish.

soy terco como una mula,

I'm stubborn as a mule,

¿a dónde vas que no te halle?

Where are you going that I can't find you?

En tu casa no me quieren

In your house, they don't like me

porque me vivo cantando,

because I live my life singing,

me dicen que soy mariachi

They say I'm a mariachi

y que no tengo pa' cuando

and that I don't have it for anytime soon

mercarte el traje de novia,

to buy you the wedding dress,

que el tiempo te estoy quitando.

as time is passing by.

No soy monedita de oro

I'm not a gold coin

pa' caerle bien a todos;

to please everyone;

asi naci y asi soy,

That's how I was born and how I am,

si no me quieren, ni modo.

if they don't like me, too bad.

El cielo tengo por techo,

I have the sky as my roof,

nomas el sol por cobija,

just the sun as a blanket,

dos brazos pa' mantenerte,

two arms to support you,

un corazón pa' tu vida;

a heart for your life;

ve, corre y dile a tus padres,

go, run and tell your parents,

a ver quien da mas por su hija.

let's see who values their daughter more.

No soy monedita de oro

I'm not a gold coin

pa' caerle bien a todos;

to please everyone;

asi naci y asi soy,

That's how I was born and how I am,

si no me quieren, ni modo.

if they don't like me, too bad.
