El Fuereño
Felipe Arriaga
The Outsider
From Jalisco are the men
from Acapulco the sirens
from Chihuahua to Zacatecas
I have loves by the dozens
They tell me I'm brave
boastful and stubborn
what I am, if very sincere
what I buy is paid in cash
There's no love that isn't mine
and there are no dogs that bark at me
I'm loyal to my friends
I'm the father of the mules
I've arrived, I'm arriving
I come from distant lands
oh brothers-in-law, don't get mad
I've arrived for your sisters
I'm from the ranch of Pitayo
very close to Cotija
Mother-in-law, your son-in-law has arrived
Don't hide your daughters from me
There's no love that isn't mine
and there are no dogs that bark at me
I'm loyal to my friends
I'm the father of the mules
I was born in a small ranch
but raised in the mountains
they are the ones who have seen
what my tricks were
I'm looking for a damn
who wants to gamble his luck
I want to sleep warm
even if it's with death
There's no love that isn't mine
and there are no dogs that bark at me
I'm loyal to my friends
I'm the father of the mules
