Paroles et traduction Juan Mendoza - No Soy Monedita de Oro

No Soy Monedita de Oro

Naci norteño hasta el tope,
Me gusta decir verdades,
Soy piedra que no se alisa
Por mas que talles y talles,
Soy terco como una mula,
¿A dónde vas que no te hallé?
En tu casa no me quieren
Porque me vivo cantando,
Me dicen que soy mariachi
Y que no tengo pa' cuando
Mercarte el traje de novia,
Que el tiempo te estoy quitando.
No soy monedita de oro
Pa' caerle bien a todos;
Asi naci y asi soy,
Si no me quieren, ni modo.
El cielo tengo por techo,
Nomas el sol por cobija,
Dos brazos pa' mantenerte,
Un corazón pa' tu vida;
Ve, corre y dile a tus padres,
A ver quien da mas por su hija.
Ay corazón bandolero
Relincha ya cuanto quiera
Por esa potranca fina
Que amansaras cuando quieras
Tu y yo no tenemos prisa
Ay nos quedran cuando puedan
No soy monedita de oro
Pa' caerle bien a todos;
Asi naci y asi soy,
Si no me quieren, ni modo.

No Soy Monedita de Oro

I was born a northerner to the core,
I like to speak my mind,
I'm a stone that won't be smoothed out
No matter how much you chip away,
I'm stubborn as a mule,
Where do you go that I can't find you?
They don't want me in your home
Because I always sing,
They tell me I'm a mariachi
And I won't be able to provide for you
To buy you a wedding dress,
That I'm wasting your time.
I'm not a gold coin
To be liked by everyone;
That's how I was born and that's who I am,
If they don't like me, so be it.
The sky is my roof,
The sun is my only blanket,
Two arms to hold you close,
A heart for your life;
Go, run and tell your parents,
Let's see who can give more for their daughter.
Oh, my rebellious heart
Neigh as much as you want
For that fine filly
That you will tame whenever you wish,
You and I are in no hurry,
They will love us when they can.
I'm not a gold coin
To be liked by everyone;
That's how I was born and that's who I am,
If they don't like me, so be it.
