Taco de palabras [English translation]

¡Arepa! ¡Humita! ¡Pupusa! ¡Tortilla!

For my race, for my house, for my people I asked you for

tortilla

and you gave me spicy chile

Ay machete!

Don't punish me so much anymore

either way I'll call you Juan

I give myself with this song

Drink it, drink it, drink it, drink it

Ahee, aha, the tortilla

I ate, I ate, I ate word tacos, I ate

I drank, I drank, water of lies, I drank

I ate, I ate, I ate tacos of words

and lies

words, words, words

that would deceive me

Since when do you want some

stop talking so much nonsense, make an effort

not even the shoe fits

what a coward! Coward in facing me

Since the chile was the traitor

I don't cry, I just remember

You're more like, you're more like, you're more

thorny than a cactus

For my race, for my house, for my people I asked you for

For my race, for my house, for my people I asked you for

For my race, for my house, for my people I asked you for

For my race, for my house, for my people I asked you for

For the ground, for Guerrero, for the ground, I prayed to you

For the ground, for Guerrero, for the ground, I prayed to you

For the ground, for Guerrero, for the ground, I prayed to you

For the ground, for Guerrero, for the ground, I prayed to you

So far from the sky you're hanging out

and so close to God you are

You're more like, you're more, thorny than a cactus

For my race, for my house, for my people I asked you for

tortilla

and you gave me spicy chile

Ay machete!

Don't punish me so much anymore

either way I'll call you Juan

I give myself with this here song

I ate, I ate, I ate word tacos, I ate

I drank, I drank, water of lies, I drank

I ate, I ate, I ate tacos of words

and lies

words, words, words

that would deceive me

For my race, for my house, for my people I asked you for

tortilla!
