Lyrics
Voy a cantarles la historia
De una mujer que murio
Quiso adorar a dos hombres
Y la vida le costo
Su corazon supo amarlos
Porque ese fue su destino
Aunque sabia que adorarlos
Era placer y martirio
Sucedio lejos de aqui
En una tierra sin nombre
Donde la ley nada puede
Contra el cariño de un hombre
Con el correr de los dias
Ella penso en su futuro
Y de los dos que queria
Se entrego por fin a uno
El que gano su cariño
Solo vivia para amarla
Mientras el que la perdio
Solo pensaba en matarla
Y se entrego a las cantinas
En donde todo bebia
Quiso convertir en odio
Todo el amor que sentia
El mero dia de la boda
Mas de la cuenta tomo
Y con un mal pensamiento
Hacia el templo camino
Habia jurado matarla
Cuando casada saliera
Pa' que vestida de blanco
Entre sus brazos muriera
Cuando salieron los novios
Se oyeron varios balazos
Su pistola cayo al suelo
Y ella cayo entre sus brazos
Lyrics translation
I'm going to sing you the story
Of a woman who died
He wanted to worship two men
And life cost him
Their heart knew how to love them
Because that was his destiny
Though I knew to worship them
It was pleasure and martyrdom
It happened far from here
In a nameless land
Where the law can nothing
Against a man's affection
With the passing of days
She thought about her future
And of the two I wanted
He finally gave himself up to one
The one who gains his affection
I only lived to love her
While the one who lost her
I was just thinking about killing her.
And he turned himself in to the canteens
Where everything drank
He wanted to turn into hate
All the love I felt
The mere day of the wedding
More from the account I take
And with a bad thought
To the Temple Road
I had sworn to kill her.
When married went out
Pa ' who dressed in white
Between his arms he would die
When the boyfriends left
Several shots were heard
His gun fell to the ground.
And she fell into his arms
