Lyrics of El Cheque - Los Tigres Del Norte

El Cheque (original)

Despues de cambiar el cheque, me fuí para una cantina
Para aventarme unos tragos
Estaban unos mariachis, sin sombrero y con huaraches
Cantando el Juan Charrasqueado
Detrás de la barra estaba una chamaca muy guapa
Que se me quedó mirando
A las primeras de cambio, le dije como me gustas
No me andes alborotando
Me dijo yo no alboroto y si te miro deveras
Es porque tu me has gustado
Le dije si eres sincera y desde luego soltera
Pa' pronto nos amarramos
Esa noche fue parranda, pero parranda deveras
Porque andaba alborotado
Tomamos toda la noche, cantamos con el mariachi
También el Juan Charrasqueado
Otro día por la mañana cuando ya voy despertando
Con una cruda espantosa
A la orilla de la cama estaba la cantinera
Diciendo «yo soy tu esposa»
Tenía un papel en la mano, con letra y puño firmados
En donde yo la aceptaba
Aquí me tienen ahora, estoy todito amolado
Por causa de una parranda

(translation)

After cashing the check, I went to a bar
To throw me a few drinks
There were some mariachis, without hats and with huaraches
Singing the Juan Charrasqueado
Behind the bar was a very pretty girl
who stared at me
At the first exchange, I told him how I like you
don't go around messing me up
He told me I don't make a fuss and if I really look at you
It's because I liked you
I told him if you are sincere and of course single
Pa 'soon we tied up
That night was partying, but really partying
because he was upset
We drink all night, we sing with the mariachi
Also the Juan Charrasqueado
Another day in the morning when I'm already waking up
With a frightful hangover
At the edge of the bed was the barmaid
Saying "I am your wife"
She had a piece of paper in her hand, with a signed handwriting and fist
where I accepted her
Here they have me now, I'm all crushed
Because of a party
