Andando en la borrachera
Walking in the drunkenness
Usaba pistolas con seis cargadores

Le daba gusto a cualquiera
Anyone liked it
Usaba el bigote en cuadro abulta'o
He used the bulging frame moustache
Su paño al cuello enredado
Your tangled neck cloth
Calzones de manta
Blanket panties
Chamarra de cuero

Traiba punteado el sombrero

Sus pies campesinos usaban huaraches

Y a veces a raiz andaba
And sometimes at the root he walked
Pero le cuadraba
But it fit him
Pagar los mariachis
Pay for mariachis
La plata no le importaba
He didn't care about silver
Con una botella de caña en la mano
With a bottle of cane in hand
Gritaba 'viva zapata'
