im actually in a mariachi group myself and im the one who sings this song in the group. this translation is good besides some of the parts after the key change. but the other translation posted was nothing of what the lyrics are really saying.FYI: the man who wrote this is from zacatecas, mexico and unless that one richard person knows who Thomas Mendez, he has no clue what in the world he is talking about.
