Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Con orgullo y sin recelo
Hoy les tengo que decir
Que pa' mi no hay otro suelo
Como el mío donde nací.

Al compas de mi guitarra
Mi mariachi va a sonar
A cantar cosas del alma

!Mariachis a quitarrear!

Son mis chinas poblanas
Mi orgullo y mi pasión
Mis lindas tehuanas ser
De mi corazón

Entre crinolinas enredador
Mi cantar son los charros
De mi tierra buenos para
Jinetear lindos pero
Mexicanos para ahí va mi cantar

En las vueltas de un jarabe
Se enredó mi corazon
Mi guitarra ya lo sabe
Y me arrulla con amor

Suelo mío de querencia
Si a ti debo lo que soy
Yo te pago con mi herencia
Es todo mi corazón.

Son mis chinas poblanas
Mi orgullo y mi pasión
Mis lindas tehuanas ser
De mi corazón

Entre crinolinas enredador
Mi cantar son los charros
De mi tierra buenos para

Jinetear lindos pero
Mexicanos para ahí va mi cantar
