Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Las Malandrinas by Jenni Rivera from Spanish to English.
Nos dicen las Malandrinas
They call us the Malandrinas
Porque hacemos mucho ruido
Because we make a lot of noise
Por que tomamos cerveza
Because we drink beer
Y nos gusta el mejor vino
And we like the best wine
En los salones de baile
In the dance halls
Siempre pedimos corridos
We always request corridos
No somos como las popis que se paran mucho el cuello
We're not like the snobs who hold their heads up high
Nos gusta la rancherada de nada tenemos miedo
We like the rancherada, we're not afraid of anything
Y le damos gusto al gusto aunque otras no estén de acuerdo
And we please ourselves even if others disagree
Cantenle a las Malandrinas Juan Riveras
Sing to the Malandrinas, Juan Riveras
Y sus corridos olfateando con los Razos entre perico
And his corridos sniffing with the Razos among perico
Y perico que canten voces del rancho
And perico, let the voices of the ranch sing
Y el borracho del Lupillo
And the drunkard Lupillo
Cuando se trata de amores nos gustan muy bien vestidos
When it comes to love, we like them well-dressed
Con sus botas y tejanas elegantes
With their boots and elegant cowboy hats
Y atrevidos cuando les llegue la cuentas
And daring when it's time to pay the bills
Que no se hagan los dormidos
Don't pretend to be asleep
Nos gusta andarnos paciendo nos encantan
We like to wander, we love
Las loqueras conocemos bien el mundo
Craziness, we know the world well
No somos como las güeras que de todito
We're not like the fair-skinned girls who get scared
Se asustan no andamos con chifladeras
We don't mess around
Cantele a las Malandria Juan Rivera
Sing to the Malandria, Juan Rivera
Y sus corridos olfateando con los Razos entre perico
And his corridos sniffing with the Razos among perico
Y perico que canten voces de lancho
And perico, let the voices of the ranch sing
Y el borracho del Lupillo
And the drunkard Lupillo
