El Tapatío Lyrics in English Vicente Fernández
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song El Tapatío by Vicente Fernández from Spanish to English.
Órale Chente
Órale Chente
Cántale a tu Jalisco con toda el alma
Sing to your Jalisco with all your soul
Vámonos
Let's go
Me dicen el tapatío porque yo me crié en Jalisco
They call me the tapatío because I was raised in Jalisco
Entre praderas y ríos, en los altos y en los viscos
Among meadows and rivers, in the highlands and in the marshes
De arriero y de tequilero, me he convertido en un charro
From mule driver to tequila maker, I have become a charro
Porque amanso hasta becerros y bebo a boca de jarro
Because I tame even calves and drink from a jug
Me dicen el tapatío porque yo me crié en Jalisco
They call me the tapatío because I was raised in Jalisco
Entre rosas y el rocío, besando de pico en pico
Among roses and dew, kissing from beak to beak
Me dicen el tapatío
They call me the tapatío
Lo mismo que llevo mulas, las amanso con manganas
Just like I handle mules, I tame them with lassos
Y no necesito ayuda porque siempre traigo ganas
And I don't need help because I always have the desire
Lo mismo le brinco a un chivo que les jineteo a un toro
I can jump over a goat and ride a bull
Y el que quiera se lo afirmo y verán que no les corro
And whoever wants to challenge me, they'll see that I won't run away
Me dicen el tapatío porque yo me crié en Jalisco
They call me the tapatío because I was raised in Jalisco
Que por qué no sienten frío si las beso con mordisco
Why don't they feel cold when I kiss them with a bite?
Me dicen el tapatío
They call me the tapatío
Les llevo mis serenatas con violines y guitarras
I bring them my serenades with violins and guitars
Para que suspiren mis chatas desde atrás de sus ventanas
So that my sweethearts can sigh from behind their windows
Las que no suspiran lloran, otras muerden el rebozo
Those who don't sigh cry, others bite their shawls
Pero para que se torturan si aquí está su cariñoso
But why torture themselves when their loving one is here?
Me dicen el tapatío porque yo me crié en Jalisco
They call me the tapatío because I was raised in Jalisco
Como el águila con brío, las serpientes me echo al pico
Like the eagle with vigor, I devour snakes
Me dicen el tapatío, ay, ay
They call me the tapatío, ay, ay
