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
Let's go, 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 'cause I was raised in Jalisco
Entre praderas y ríos, en los altos y en los viscos
Between prairies and rivers, in the highlands and the canyons
De arriero y de tequilero, me he convertido en un charro
From muleteer and tequila maker, I've become a charro
Porque amanso hasta becerros y bebo a boca de jarro
'Cause I even tame calves and drink straight from the jug
Me dicen el tapatío porque yo me crié en Jalisco
They call me the Tapatío 'cause I was raised in Jalisco
Entre rosas y el rocío, besando de pico en pico
Among roses and the dew, stealing kisses here and there
Me dicen el tapatío
They call me the Tapatío
Lo mismo que llevo mulas, las amanso con manganas
Just as I handle mules, I tame them with a lasso
Y no necesito ayuda porque siempre traigo ganas
And I don't need help 'cause I'm always game
Lo mismo le brinco a un chivo que les jineteo a un toro
I'll tackle a goat just the same as I'll ride a bull
Y el que quiera se lo afirmo y verán que no les corro
And I'll prove it to anyone, you'll see I don't back down
Me dicen el tapatío porque yo me crié en Jalisco
They call me the Tapatío 'cause I was raised in Jalisco
Que por qué no sienten frío si las beso con mordisco
They don't feel cold 'cause 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
Pa' que suspiren mis chatas desde atrás de sus ventanas
So my sweethearts sigh from behind their windows
Las que no suspiran lloran, otras muerden el rebozo
The ones who don't sigh, cry, others bite their shawl
Pero pa' que se torturan si aquí está su cariñoso
But why do they torture themselves when their sweetheart is here
Me dicen el tapatío porque yo me crié en Jalisco
They call me the Tapatío 'cause I was raised in Jalisco
Como el águila con brío, las serpientes me echo al pico
Like a spirited eagle, I snatch snakes in my beak
Me dicen el tapatío, ay, ay
They call me the Tapatío, ay, ay
