No Soi Monedita De Oro,.!

Nací norteña hasta el tope
Me gusta decir verdades
Soy piedra que no se alisa
Por mas que talle y talles
Soy terca como una mula
Adonde vas que no te halles
En tu casa no me quieren
Porque me vivo cantando
Me dicen que soy mariachi
Y que no tengo pa'cuando
Comprarte el traje de fiesta
Que el tiempo te estoy quitando

No soy monedita de oro
Pa'caerle bien a todos
Así nací y así soy
Si no me quieren ni modo.

El cielo tengo por techo
No mas el sol por cobija
Dos brazos pa'mantenerme
Y un corazón pa'tu vida
Ve corre y dile a tus padres
A ver qien da mas por su hija
Ay corazón bandolero
Relincha ya cuando quieras
Por esa potranca fina
Que amansarás cuando quiera
Tú y yo no tenemos prisa
Ay nos querrán
Cuando quieran

No soy monedita de oro
Pa'caerle bien a todos




Así nací y así soy
Si no me quieren ni modo.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "No Soy Monedita De Oro" by Beatriz Adriana speak about the singer's unapologetic nature and strong sense of self. She declares that she was born to be a norteña, and she is not afraid to speak her mind and tell the truth. Her rough edges cannot be polished away, no matter how hard anyone tries. She is stubborn and hard-headed, wandering aimlessly when she pleases. Despite her family's dislike of her singing, she continues to pursue her passion for mariachi music. She does not have the means to buy a fancy party dress, but she will not let that stop her from living her life.


The singer also talks about her simple lifestyle, with the sky as her roof and only the sun for warmth. She only needs two arms to sustain her and her heart to love someone. She challenges her lover to ask their parents who would give more for their daughter, as a declaration of her love and devotion. She encourages her lover to embrace his rogue nature and trains him to conquer and tame a beautiful mare. Finally, she declares that she is not a precious coin that can please everyone. She is who she is, and if people do not like her, that is their problem.
