Yo El Aventurero [English translation]

Ay laralá, ay laralá

Ay laralá, ay laralá

Ay laralá, ay laralá

Ay laralá, ay laralá

I am the adventurer

The world matters to me little

When a woman pleases me

Pleases me in spite of everything

I like the tall ones and the small ones

The thin ones, the fat ones and the tiny ones

Single ones and widows and divorcees

The little darlings with pretty faces enchant me

And for that reason I come here

Singing with my song

I am the adventurer

Pure heart

Ay laralá ….

Stop the music!

The world matters little to me

I make of myself what I want

I am honest and a good friend

The spree goer most sincere

I play cards and know how to go on a spree

It’s the same whether I drink tequila or mescal

Pulquito the same also as champaign

The same whether I dance a tango or a waltz

Also a jarabe or some cha-cha.

I am the adventurer

And to my fathers-in-law I answer

That if they bring their little girls

Look out for them or I will not answer for it

Ay laralá...

I am the adventurer

The world matters to me little

When a woman pleases me

Pleases me in spite of everything

I like the tall ones and the small ones

The thin ones, the fat ones and the tiny ones

The little darlings with pretty faces enchant me

I like the mothers-in-law who are not jealous

The little darlings a bit slippery

Who may have brothers who aren’t jealous

Who may have boyfriends with silly faces

I like life, love enchants me

I am the spree going adventurer.

And for that reason I have the soul

Of a troubadour and a bohemian

I am the adventurer

Good afternoon and we’ll see each other over there.

Ay laralá ….

I am the adventurer.
