El rey del falsete [English translation]

I come here to beg

With all of my heart,

And I come to hand over,

The verses of my song,

They are pieces of my soul

When sung with great passion,

When sung with great passion.

I am the king of falsetto,

And of the Mexican Son1,

I love singing huapangos2,

And consoling broken hearts.

Cupid pierced me

With the arrow of love,

That is why I am so,

Nailed to the heart,

You're the one at fault,

Without your love I die,

Without your love I die.

I am the king of falsetto,

And of the Mexican Son,

I love singing huapangos,

And consoling broken hearts.

Both major and minor keys are used. One of the distinctive characteristics is the use of a falsetto by the vocalist. [Reference]
