El Son Del Chile Frito

Lila Downs Lila Downs

The Sound of Fried Chile

Fried chile
Shout out to the whole coastal area
Pinotepa Nacional
Chilapa, Guerrero
Santiago Llanogrande
I’ve got
I’ve got
A craving for a chile taco with beer
With salt and grilled onions over charcoal
I’ve got
I’ve got

A craving for a serranito with a little mash
With that coastal chile roasted on the griddle
Without something spicy, life’s not worth it
With sliced green chile
Chilhuacle chile, pure flavor
And from morita and habanero
That one makes you sweat a lot
With sliced green chile
Chilhuacle chile, pure flavor
And from morita and habanero
That one makes you sweat a lot
With fried chile and mulato
Come on, young man, stuffed chile
Honoring the coastal chile
And with xhuladi, Isthmus broth
With fried chile and mulato
Come on, young man, stuffed chile
Honoring the coastal chile
And with xhuladi, Isthmus broth
Yeah, that chiltepín packs a punch
But you can’t live without chile
Yeah, that chiltepín packs a punch
But you can’t live without chile

I’ve got
I’ve got
Guajillo or poblano
Jalapeño for the taco
Serrano or chipotle
Fried chile
Don’t shake the chile too much
Or the seeds will spill
I’ve got
I’ve got
A craving for a chile taco with beer
With salt and grilled onions over charcoal
I’ve got
I’ve got
A craving for a serranito with a little mash
With that coastal chile roasted on the griddle
With chile or without chile
Oh
With sliced green chile
Chilhuacle chile, pure flavor
And from morita and habanero
That one makes you sweat a lot
With sliced green chile
Chilhuacle chile, pure flavor
And from morita and habanero
That one makes you sweat a lot
Green chile
No chile fits just right.
