  1. A mi coraje me daba que así le gritara

    My courage made me yell like this at her

  2. Dejé de querer a esa puta europea

    I stopped loving that European bitch

  3. Muy al contrario, a su casa no deje de ir

    On the contrary, I kept visiting her house

  4. Solo para ver a la Tajín-princesa

    Just to see the Tajín princess

  5. Cuando yo la desnudaba, a mi novia

    When I undressed her, my girlfriend

  6. Asco me daba su piel de lejía

    I was disgusted by her bleachy skin

  7. Pues yo ya deseaba

    Because I already desired

  8. Esa piel morena que en nada es del tipo europea

    That dark skin that’s nothing like the European type

  9. Así que me decidí, de la ciudad salí

    So I made up my mind, I left the city

  10. Con todo y su blancura, a mi novia escupí (En la jeta)

    With all her whiteness, I spat at my girlfriend (In her face)

  11. Ya vivo en el golfo

    I already live in the gulf

  12. Cerca a Chalchihuahuecan

    Near Chalchihuahuecan

  13. Y vivo mi vida amando

    And I live my life loving

  14. A unos labios jaguar

    Some jaguar lips

  15. Cómo sufro, hermanito

    How I suffer, little brother

  16. Así que me decidí, de la ciudad salí

    So I made my decision, I left the city

  17. Con todo y su blancura, a mi novia escupí (En la jeta)

    With all its whiteness, I spat at my girlfriend (In the face)
