Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Chicana Jalisciense by Jenni Rivera from Spanish to English.
Cuanto me gusta cantar con la banda
How much I like singing with the band
Que se oiga esa tuba muy cerca de mi
Let that tuba be heard very close to me
Salir de noche y andarme paseando
Going out at night and walking around
Con los de mi raza me siento feliz
With my people I feel happy
Yo soy chicana californiana
I am Chicana from California
Y de Jalisco mis padres son
And my parents are from Jalisco
Y mis costumbres son mexicanas
And my customs are Mexican
Mis sangre es brava y le canto al amor
My blood is fierce and I sing to love
Tóquenme ahorita el abandonado
Play for me now the abandoned one
El despreciado, el billete también quiero
The scorned one, I also want money
Cantarles a todos mis paisanos
Sing to all my countrymen
Como jalisciense no me rajare
As a person from Jalisco, I won't back down
Brinden muchachos que son de la banda
Cheers boys who are from the band
Y conjunto norteño les voy a cantar
And I will sing to the norteño group
Pa que no añoren su pueblo querido
So they don't miss their beloved town
Si acá por mi tierra en mexico están
If they are here in Mexico for my land
Viva Jalisco y los sonorenses
Long live Jalisco and the people from Sonora
Es gente alegre que sabe gozar
They are joyful people who know how to enjoy
Por que de ahí viene esta hembra valiente
Because from there comes this brave woman
Que estos corridos se atreve a cantar
Who dares to sing these corridos
Las malandrinas, reina de reinas
The troublemakers, queen of queens
Mi vida loca y la chaca también
My crazy life and the tough one too
Y que la banda siga tocando
And let the band keep playing
Que sea chicana yo les cantare
As a Chicana, I will sing to them
