No soy monedita de oro [English translation]

I was born a Northerner all the way:

I like to tell it like it is!

I'm a stone that cannot be polished

No matter how much you might try to chisel it...

I'm as stubborn as a mule;

Wherever you may go, don't let me find you!

In your house, they don't like me

Because I spend my whole life singing.

They say that I'm a mariachi singer

And that I won't ever find the time

To buy your wedding dress...

That I am wasting your time!

[Chorus:]

I'm not a little gold coin

To be liked by everyone.

This is how I was born, and this is how I am:

If you don't like me... Tough luck!

My only roof is the sky,

The sun is my only blanket;

I have two arms to support you,

And a heart that's your for life...

Go, run and ask your parents

Let's see, who will give them more for their daughter?

Oh, my bandit of a heart!

Now, neigh as much as you wish

Over that fine mare

That you shall tame when it suits you...

You and I are not in a rush:

For us, things will fall into place at some point.

[Chorus:]

I'm not a little gold coin

To be liked by everyone.

This is how I was born, and this is how I am:

If you don't like me... Tough luck!
