A mi coraje me daba que así le gritara
My courage made me yell like this at her
Dejé de querer a esa puta europea
I stopped loving that European bitch
Muy al contrario, a su casa no deje de ir
On the contrary, I kept visiting her house
Solo para ver a la Tajín-princesa
Just to see the Tajín princess
Cuando yo la desnudaba, a mi novia
When I undressed her, my girlfriend
Asco me daba su piel de lejía
I was disgusted by her bleachy skin
Pues yo ya deseaba
Because I already desired
Esa piel morena que en nada es del tipo europea
That dark skin that’s nothing like the European type
Así que me decidí, de la ciudad salí
So I made up my mind, I left the city
Con todo y su blancura, a mi novia escupí (En la jeta)
With all her whiteness, I spat at my girlfriend (In her face)
Ya vivo en el golfo
I already live in the gulf
Cerca a Chalchihuahuecan
Near Chalchihuahuecan
Y vivo mi vida amando
And I live my life loving
A unos labios jaguar
Some jaguar lips
Cómo sufro, hermanito
How I suffer, little brother
Así que me decidí, de la ciudad salí
So I made my decision, I left the city
Con todo y su blancura, a mi novia escupí (En la jeta)
With all its whiteness, I spat at my girlfriend (In the face)
Ya vivo en el golfo
I already live in the gulf
Cerca a Chalchihuahuecan
Near Chalchihuahuecan
Vivo mi vida amando
I live my life loving
A unos labios jaguar
To some jaguar lips
