Cocula jorge negrete lyrics search

From the land of Cocula

that is the soul of mariachi

I come singing

on the way to Aguasclientes

to the San Marcos fair

to see what I can find

I'm bringing a well trained rooster*

to throw it out

with some gambler

and also I'm bringing a gun

in case someone comes looking for a bullet

and calls me a loud mouth

Mariachi is from Cocula

from Tecatitlán are the sones (Mexican folk songs)

from San Pedro their songs

from Tequila their mezcal (a distilled alcoholic beverage)

and tough guys from Jalisco

famous for their intrepidness (or boldness)

thats why they be wearing the pants

I'm looking for a little rebel

a arrogant young lady

that left with my love

I have an urge to find her

to teach her that a woman

can't tease a man (like that)

it came to me suddenly

giving the people reason

to mutter because

but lets see what I find today

and we remain face to face

what are you going to say to me
