'Ya está aquí El Parchado' gritaba la gente
'El Parchado is here' people shouted
Y que toque el mariachi una diana en su honor
And let the mariachi play a target in his honor
Habían venido a verlo, ganarle al Norteño
They had come to see him, beat the Norteño
Caballo muy ligero y con fama de campeón
Very light horse with a reputation as a champion
Ya están las apuestas, Sonora de Conchado
The bets are already in, Sonora de Conchado
Confían en su caballo, veloz como un ciclón
They trust his horse, swift as a cyclone
El sur trae un Parchado, ligero como un rayo
The south brings a Patchy, light as lightning
Y aunque no es afamado, si es puro corazón
And although he is not famous, if he is pure heart
'Que me toquen Sonora Querida'
'Touch me dear Sonora'
Gritaba el Norteño, lleno de emoción
shouted the Northerner, full of emotion
Luego tóquenle a ese Parchado
Then touch that Patchado
Su Juan Colorado, para que entre en calor
Your Juan Colorado, to warm you up
El Parchado era un potro educado
The Parchado was an educated colt
Y no le contesto a aquel fanfarrón
And I don't answer that braggart
Al contrario, le dijo al arranque
On the contrary, he told him at the start
'Mucha suerte amigo, y que gane el mejor'
'Good luck friend, and may the best man win'
Arrancan a un grito, atrás va El Parchado
They start with a shout, behind goes El Parchado
Sonora empieza a gritar
Sonora starts to scream
A media carrera lo alcanza El Parchado
Halfway through the race, El Parchado catches up with him
Y no para hasta ganar
And don't stop until you win
Después se regresa y le dice al Norteño
Then he returns and tells the Norteño
Ahora te voy a cantar
Now I'm going to sing to you
del Son que en mi tierra le gusta a la gente
of the Son that people like in my land
Y que tendrás que bailar'
And that you will have to dance
Toquen, toquen, mariachis tupido
Play, play, bushy mariachis
Para que ese Norteño se enseñe a bailar
For that Norteño to teach himself to dance
Porque allá en Michoacán no hay redoba
Because there in Michoacán there is no redoba
Ni Polka Norteña, puro zapatear
Nor Polka Norteña, pure stomping
Ahora el son que se toca en mi tierra
Now the son that is played in my land
Y las danzas tarascas tendrás que aprender
And the tarascan dances you will have to learn
Y mezcal en vez de bacanora
And mezcal instead of bacanora
Tequila en jarrito te vas a beber
Tequila in a jar you are going to drink
