Paroles et traduction María José Quintanilla - 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 halle?

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' mantenerme,
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 quieras,
Por esa potranca fina
Que amansaras cuando puedas;

Tu y yo no tenemos prisa,
Ai, nos "quedra" cuando quiera.

No soy monedita de oro

I Am Not A Gold Coin

I was born a northerner through and through,
I like to tell the truth,
I am a stone that cannot be smoothed out,
No matter how much you polish it,

I am stubborn as a mule,
Where can you go that I won't find you?

They don't want me in your house,
Because I always sing,
They tell me I'm a mariachi,
And that I don't have the money for,

To buy you a wedding dress,
Because I'm wasting your time.

I am not a gold coin,
To please everyone;
This is how I was born and this is how I am,
If they don't like me, then whatever.

The sky is my roof,
Only the sun for a blanket,
Two arms to hold me,
A heart for your life;

Go, run and tell your parents,
Let's see who gives more for their daughter.

Oh my rogue heart,
Neigh already as much as you want,
For that fine filly,
That you will tame when you can;

You and I are in no hurry,
Oh, you will "get there" when you want to.

I am not a gold coin
