Pedro Fernández Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Desde nabolato vengo
Dicen que nací en el roble
Me dicen que soy arriero
Por que le chiflo y se paran
Si les aviento el sombrero
Ya verán como reparan

Ay, ay, ay

Ay mamá por dios

Por dios que borracho vengo
Que me siga la "tambora"
Que me toquen el "quelite"
Después el "niño perdido"
Y por ultimo el "torito"
Pa' que vean como me pinto

Ay, ay, ay
Ay mamá por dios

Me dicen enamorado
Pero de eso nada tengo
Todos me dicen el negro
Un negro pero con suerte
Por que si me salta un gallo
No me le rajo a la muerte

Ay, ay, ay
Ay mamá por dios

Por dios que borracho vengo
Que me siga la "tambora"
Que me toquen el "quelite"
Después el "niño perdido"
Y por ultimo el "torito"
Pa' que vean como me pinto

Ay, ay, ay
Ay mamá por dios

Soy del mero sinaloa
Donde se rompen las olas
Y busco una que ande sola
Y que no tenga marido
Pa' no estar comprometido
Cuando resulte la bola

Ay, ay, ay
Ay mamá por dios

Por dios que borracho vengo
Que me siga la "tambora"
Que me toquen el "quelite"
Después el "niño perdido"
Y por ultimo el "torito"
Pa' que vean como me pinto

Ay, ay, ay
Ay, ay, ay

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Pedro Fernandez's song "Sinaloense" speak to the singer's identity and sense of pride in being from the state of Sinaloa, Mexico. He describes his birthplace in Nabolato and how people refer to him as an "arriero" (mule driver) because of his ability to whistle and control the animals. The chorus repeatedly exclaims "Ay mamá por dios" as he sings about being drunk and wanting the traditional Sinaloan songs played by the "tambora" (a type of brass band).

Despite being called "enamorado" (in love) by others, the singer states that he is not truly in love and is regarded as "el negro" (the black one) because of his dark complexion. However, he considers himself lucky because he does not shy away from danger, proclaiming that he would not hesitate to confront death if needed. He then sings about wanting to find a single woman to avoid complications in relationships and to "resulte la bola" (catch his lucky break).

Overall, the song "Sinaloense" is a celebration of Sinaloan culture and its traditional music, as well as a display of the singer's own identity and bravado.
