Cocula

From that land of Cocula
which is the soul of the mariachi
I come with my singing
I'm on my way to Aguascalientes
to the San Marcos fair
to see what I can find.

I bring a very daring rooster
to bet it secretly
with some gambler
and I also bring a gun
in case someone looks for trouble
and labels me a braggart.

The mariachi is from Cocula
the sones are from Tecalitlán
the singing is from San Pedro
the mezcal is from Tequila
and the machos from Jalisco
famous for being bold
that's why they wear pants.

I'm looking for an ungrateful woman
a conceited young lady
who left with my love
I want to find her
to show her that a man
is not to be mocked by a woman.

She came to me suddenly
giving reason for people
to gossip just because
but let's see today when I find her
and we face each other
what will she say to me.

The mariachi is from Cocula...
