Traigo un dolor tan inmenso que no puedo andar derecho Que no puedo andar derecho, traigo un dolor tan inmenso Mi vida solo es infierno Yo no sé lo que me has hecho El corazón indefenso, se quiere salir del pecho Yayayay jarochita, que muero por ti, si tú me quisieras, me hicieras feliz Yaaaaayayayay, que yo quisiera, que usted se volviera nona y que yo me la comiera Madurita, madurita y que del palo se cayera Tierra de la Santa Cruz, tierra cálida y galana Tierra cálida y galana, tierra de la Santa Cruz Tus faros se llenan de luz Mi _____ Orgullo de Veracruz De la nación mexicana Yayayay jarochita me muero por ti, si tu me quisieras, me hicieras feliz Yaaaaayayayay, que cosa? tan fea, que se sube al palo, y se zarandea, pone su huevito y luego se afea Se mete al hoyito, para que no la vean Hasta ser domingo… porque está muy fea Mírese al espejo, para que lo crea Yayayaya jarochita me muero por ti, si tu me quisieras, me hicieras feliz Yayayaya jarochita me muero por ti, si tu me quisieras, me hicieras feliz Yayayayayaiiiiii

I have got an immense pain, that does not allow me to stand straight That does not allow me to stand straight, I have got such an immense pain My life feels like it is intense I do not know what you have done to me The helpless heart, wants to come out of the chest Yayayay jarochita, I am dying for you, if you would love me, you would make me happy Yaaaaayayayay, I would like, that you would become nona and that I could eat you Ripe, very ripe, and that from the stick you would fall Land of Santa Cruz, warm and elegant Warm and elegant land, land of Santa Cruz Your headlights are full of light My... An honour from Veracruz Of the Mexican nation Yayayay jarochita, I am dying for you, if you would love me, you would make me happy Yaaaaayayayay, what an ugly thing, that goes up the stick then shakes, puts its egg and then spoils It goes into the hole, so that it is not seen Until Sunday… because she is very ugly Look at yourself in the mirror, so that you believe it Yayayay jarochita, I am dying for you, if you would love me, you would make me happy Yayayay jarochita, I am dying for you, if you would love me, you would make me happy Yayayayayaiiiiii
