El Tequilero

I am from pure Jalisco
from those tequila lands
my pride is being from the highlands
territory of the beasts
I bring the blood of the brave
don't think I'm just anyone.

I'm risking my skin
but that's how I live happily
I don't boast of being damned
but the dead don't scare me
I'm passionate about the forbidden
I'm a hundred percent scoundrel.

With the table well set
and the mariachi on one side
I don't give a damn about life
when I'm revved up
I shout long live my Jalisco
because it has never backed down.

Through Tepatitlan and Arandas
through San Ignacio and Cuquio
between cockfights and races
every territory is mine
I don't even count the women
I've had them in heaps.

The government is looking for me
but doesn't want to find me
there's no crazy person who swallows fire
because the burners burn
many have sat here
and haven't gotten back up.

A greeting to the damned
from my town and ranches
there I leave you my ballad
take the curse off your squad
farewell from the tequila maker
long live my heavy race
