Lyrics of Soy De San Luis - Texas Tornados

Soy De San Luis (original)

Voy ya cantar estos versos, aunque yo no soy de aqui,
yo soy puro Mejicano, soy de San Luis Potosí.
Caminando y caminando he llegado a San Antonio,
me encontre muy buen trabajo y tambien con el demonio.
Found me a little Tejanita and I fell in love with her.
She was so bonita and I had to marry her.
Then she took off to Laredo, and she called me from Nuevo León,
She said: Send me some more money, so I can come back home.
Ya me voy para mi tierra, aunque pobre es mi nación,
pero si, les aseguro, que alla manda el pantalón.
Ahí les dejo a mi Tejana, no la pude soportar,
hay que la toree el diablo, a ver, si el la puede aguantar.
Now I’m back in my homeland, back where I was born.
One thing I know for sure now, many wear the Pantalóns.
Left her in old San Antonio, 'cause I could not afford her.
Hay que la toree el diablo, a ver, si el la puede aguantar.
She belongs to el diablo, he can have her, I don’t want her any more.

(translation)

I'm going to sing these verses, although I'm not from here,
I am pure Mexican, I am from San Luis Potosí.
Walking and walking I have arrived at San Antonio,
I found a very good job and also with the devil.
Found me a little Tejanita and I fell in love with her.
She was so pretty and I had to marry her.
Then she took off to Laredo, and she called me from Nuevo León,
She said: Send me some more money, so I can come back home.
I'm leaving for my land, although my nation is poor,
but yes, I assure you, the pants rule there.
There I leave my Tejana, I couldn't stand her,
the devil must fight her, let's see if he can take her.
Now I'm back in my homeland, back where I was born.
One thing I know for sure now, many wear the Pants.
Left her in old San Antonio, 'cause I could not afford her.
You have to fight the devil, let's see if he can stand it.
She belongs to the devil, he can have her, I don't want her any more.
