Translation

Desde el campo en que he nacido

From the countryside where I was born

Vengo a echar una visteada

I come to take a look

A la fiesta de mi rancho

At the party of my ranch

Rebosante de ilusión

Overflowing with hope


A las mujeres bonitas

To the beautiful women

Traigo flores perfumadas

I bring perfumed flowers

Y a los charros cumplidores

And to the honorable charros

Traigo mi mejor canción

I bring my best song


Ay, qué bonita es la fiesta del rancho

Oh, how beautiful is the ranch party

Donde huele el aire puro a vetana y amidon

Where the air smells pure of window and starch

Donde un beso sabe a gloria

Where a kiss tastes like glory

Debajo de un sombrero ancho

Underneath a wide-brimmed hat

Y nos cobija un sarape corazón con corazón

And we are covered by a sarape heart to heart


El jarabe zapateado saca astillas al tablado

The zapateado syrup splinters the stage

Y el mariachi entusiasmado lanza sones sin parar

And the enthusiastic mariachi launches songs non-stop

El palenque se rebosa con la sangre de un tapado

The palenque overflows with the blood of a covered one

Y una china coquetona busca amores al cantar

And a coquettish girl seeks love while singing


Apuestenle al gallo giro que va contra el Colorado

Bet on the gray rooster that goes against the Colorado

Este gallo nunca pierde pues lo traigo bien calado

This rooster never loses because I have him well figured out

Hagan apuestas señores aprovechen la ocasión

Make bets, gentlemen, take advantage of the occasion

Que al cabo a los ganadores no les cobro comision

Because, in the end, I don't charge commission to the winners


Ay, qué rechulo es el ranchito mío

Oh, how lovely is my little ranch

Donde todo el mundo olvida los pesares y el dolor

Where everyone forgets sorrows and pain

Para ver mujeres lindas hay que estar en el bajio

To see beautiful women, one must be in the lowlands

Es gigante la hermosura y cobijo de mi amor

The beauty is giant and the refuge of my love


Ay, es la fiesta de la tierra mía

Oh, it's the party of my land

Que se alegra con los cantos del mariachi retozon

That rejoices with the songs of the playful mariachi

Y esta linda que se adorna con la clara luz del día

And this beauty adorned with the clear light of day

Desbordante de entusiasmo de calor y de emoción

Overflowing with enthusiasm, warmth, and emotion
