Mariachi
Antonio Banderas / Los Lobos Lyrics

The song, La Cancion del Mariachi, sung by Antonio Banderas in the movie Desperado, has a lively melody and catchy lyrics. The opening lines, "Soy un hombre muy honrado, que me gusta lo mejor" roughly translate to "I'm a very honest man who likes the best things." The singer in the song brags about having no shortage of women, money, or love.

He then talks about riding on his horse through the mountains and looking up at the stars and moon for guidance. The phrase "Las estrellas y la luna, ellas me dicen donde voy" can be interpreted to mean "The stars and the moon, they tell me where to go."

The chorus, "Ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay mi amor. Ay, mi morena de mi corazón" which would roughly translate to "Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, my love. Oh, my brunette of my heart" repeats twice in the song.

The song's lyrics also mention the singer’s love for guitar playing and singing. He even talks about the Mariachi band accompanying him when he sings. The song highlights his love for drinking, especially aguardiente and tequila blanco with salt.

Overall, the song celebrates the life of a man who enjoys the finer things but also values his freedom, expressing himself through music and the company of his loyal Mariachi band.
