Mexican Mariachi Band Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Soy un hombre muy honrado
Que me gusta lo mejor
Pa’ 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, ay, ay
Ay, ay mi amor
Ay mi morena
De mi corazón

Me gusta tocar guitarra
Me gusta cantar el son
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 guitarra
Me gusta cantar el son
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
