Mi chorro de voz [English translation]

I had a great voice

I was the owner of the falsetto

Ay, her, ra, lai

singing gave me " round eye"

And smoking gave me the cough

And of that great voice

Only left a murmur

I was singing a titipuchal

The girls were admiring me

they were sighing for my songs

And I was devoting myself

But today when I wanted to sing

The roosters were getting excited

Poor voice that goes adrift

from the binge and the round eye

to smoking and to the cough

When it wants to throw falsetto

Only comes out a vile murmur

Of that great voice

I had a great voice

And it was giving my bundle to me

Jorge Negrete admired me

Pedro Vargas and other two also

But of that great voice

Only left a murmur

Two nights ago I went to sing

I was celebrating Casimira

To the first lyre compass

They began to shout at me

the hat and the jacket

Of the gentleman who goes back

those who drink and who smoke

their gullets rot

like the cough did to me

When I want to throw falsetto

Only comes out a vile murmur

Of that great voice
