Cancion del Mariachi - Antonio Banderas and Los Lobos

From the soundtrack to the film Desperado


Soy un hombre muy honrado,
Que me gusta lo mejor
Las mujeres no me faltan,
Ni el dinero, ni el amor


Jineteando en mi caballo
Por la sierra yo me voy
Las estrellas y la luna
Ya me dicen donde voy

Ay, ay, ay, ay,
Ay, ay mi amor
Ay, mi morena,
De mi corazon

Me gusta tocar guitarra
Me gusta cantar el sol
Mariachis me acompañan
Cuando canto mi cancion

Me gusta tomar mis copas
Aguardiente es lo mejor
Tambien el tequila blanco
Con su sal le da sabor

Ay, ay, ay, ay
Ay, ay mi amor
Ay mi morena,
De mi corazon

I'm a well-respected man
Who likes the very best
I don't lack for women
Nor money, nor love

Riding my horse
Through the mountains I go
The stars and the moon
Guide me on my way

Ay ay ay ay
Ay ay my love
Ay my brunette
Of my heart

I like to play guitar
I like to sing the rhythm
Mariachis accompany me
When I sing my song

I like to take a drink
Aguardiente's the best
And also white tequila
With its salt to add flavor

Ay ay ay ay
Ay ay my love
Ay my brunette
Of my heart


Antonio does have a lovely singing voice, besides being very sexy. You know what's funny about Antonio? Before he came to America, his career in Spain consisted mostly of playing very nerdy Woody Allen-type guys. Always with the glasses and not knowing how to handle women. Then he gets here and is instantly cast as the Latin Lover type. I guess irony can be pretty ironic.

And how about the decor in that bar? They must have a hell of an electric bill!
