Desperado
A. Banderas & Los Lobos Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Que me gusta lo mejor
Las mujeres no me faltan, ni el dinero, ni el amor
Jineteando en mi caballo
Por la sierra yo me voy
Las estrellas y la luna, ellas me dicen donde voy
Ay, ay mi amor
Ay mi morena de mi corazón
Me gusta tocar la guitarra
Me gusta cantar el sol
Mariachi me acompaña cuando canto mi canción
Me gusta tomar mis copas
Aguardiente es lo mejor
También el tequila blanco con su sal le da sabor
Ay, ay, ay, ay
Ay, ay mi amor
Ay mi morena de mi corazón
Me gusta tocar la guitarra
Me gusta cantar el sol
El mariachi me acompaña cuando canto mi canción
Me gusta tomar mis copas
Aguardiente es lo mejor
También el tequila blanco con su sal le da sabor
Ay, ay, ay, ay
Ay, ay mi amor
Ay mi morena de mi corazón
Ay, ay, ay, ay
Ay, ay mi amor
Ay mi morena de mi corazón
The lyrics of A. Banderas & Los Lobos's song "Cancion del mariachi" tell the story of a proud and confident man who enjoys the finer things in life, such as women, money, and love. He is a skilled horseman who rides through the mountains, guided by the stars and the moon. He loves playing the guitar and singing about his life experiences with the accompaniment of the mariachi band. The singer also enjoys drinking and mentions aguardiente (a type of alcoholic beverage) and tequila with salt in the song. He expresses his love for a woman, whom he refers to as "mi morena de mi corazón" (my dark-skinned girl of my heart), and repeats the phrase "ay, ay, ay, ay" to express his passion.
The song's lyrics and melody are generally upbeat and celebratory of Mexican culture. The use of traditional instruments such as the guitar and trumpet, as well as the inclusion of mariachi-style singing, make the song a popular choice for parties, gatherings, and cultural events. However, the lyrics also touch on themes of machismo and alcohol consumption, which have been criticized by some as promoting negative stereotypes.
