Singer: Vicente Fernández
Esa no, mi mariachi
Que no ves que al oírla
Sangrando están mis heridas
Not that one, my mariachi
Can’t you see that hearing it
My wounds start bleeding?
Porque quizás sin quererlo
Me traen en sus notas
Amargos recuerdos
De quien destrozó mi vida
Because maybe without knowing it
Its notes bring back
Bitter memories
Of the one who ruined my life
Esa no, mis mariachis
No hagan que me emborrache
Ni quieran verme llorando
Not that one, my mariachis
Don’t make me drunk
Or make me cry
Piensen de mí lo que quieran
Pero su recuerdo es como una daga
Clavada en mi pensamiento
Think what you want about me
But their memory is like a dagger
Stuck in my mind
Ni mi honor, ni mi orgullo han logrado
Sacar tus raíces de mi corazón
Este amor, es amor de los buenos
En él no hay olvido, en él no hay traición
Neither my honor nor my pride have been able
To remove your roots from my heart
This love is true love
There is no forgetfulness or betrayal in it
Y por ti, más y más se agiganta
Pa’ mí no hay distancias, ni sed de rencor
And because of you, it grows bigger and bigger
For me, there are no distances or thirst for bitterness
Ni mi honor, ni mi orgullo han logrado
Sacar tus raíces de mi corazón
Este amor, es amor de los buenos
En él no hay olvido, en él no hay traición
Neither my honor nor my pride have been able
To remove your roots from my heart
This love is true love
There is no forgetfulness or betrayal in it
Y por ti, más y más se agiganta
Pa’ mí no hay distancias, ni sed de rencor
And because of you, it grows bigger and bigger
For me, there are no distances or thirst for bitterness
Esa no, mi mariachi
Por favor, esa no
Not that one, my mariachi
Please, not that one
