El Jinete
Mariachi Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Por la lejana montaña
Va cabalgando un jinete
Vaga solito en el mundo
Y va deseando la muerte.

Lleva en su pecho una herida
Va con su alma destrozada
Quisiera perder la vida
Y reunirse con su amada.

La quería mas que a su vida
Y la perdió para siempre
Por eso lleva una herida
Por eso busca la muerte.

Con su guitarra cantando
Se pasa noches enteras
Hombre y guitarra llorando
A la luz de las estrellas.

Después se pierde en la noche
Y aunque la noche es muy bella
El va pidiéndole a Dios
Que se lo lleve con ella.

La quería mas que a su vida
Y la perdió para siempre




Por eso lleva una herida
Por eso busca la muerte.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "El Jinete" by Mariachi depict the story of a solitary rider who roams through the distant mountains, carrying the weight of a broken soul and harboring a desire for death. The song describes the profound wound that resides in his heart, an emotional pain that has left him shattered. The jinete longs to end his own life and be reunited with his beloved, whom he loved even more than his own existence. This intense loss and longing for his lost love are the driving forces behind his pursuit of death.


The jinete finds solace and release in the act of singing, often spending entire nights strumming his guitar. The combination of his voice and the instrument bring forth a deep emotional experience, leaving both the man and the guitar weeping together under the night sky, bathed in the gentle light of the stars. Despite finding solace in his music, the jinete still yearns for his lost love, and thus, his nights are often filled with sorrow and longing.


As the jinete disappears into the night, he traverses the beauty of darkness. Although the night may be alluring and captivating, the jinete pleads to God, asking to be taken away to be with his beloved once more. This poignant plea reveals the depth of his longing and desperation to be reunited with the one he loved so dearly. The jinete's desire for death is driven by the loss he experienced and the belief that only in death can he find peace and reunification with his beloved.


In summary, "El Jinete" explores the profound grief and heartache of a man who has lost the love of his life. The lyrics illustrate his desire to end his own life in order to be with his beloved once again. Through the power of his guitar and voice, the jinete finds solace in expressing his emotions, but ultimately, his longing for his lost love remains the driving force behind his pursuit of death.

Mariachi Vargas, el mejor del mundo. Saludos desde Brasil.

Dani El Príncipe

Esta es la versión exacta de los anuncios de "Mueblerías K2", solo que se usaba la pista (Karaoke) como fondo.
De hecho, cuando era niño y escuchaba los anuncios de K2, en un principio pensaba que era música que se escuchaba en la publicidad de "Hermanos Vázquez" por el mes patrio jeje.
Gran interpretación.

Ya no puedo escuchar el inicio de esta canción sin pensar en K2...
