Marianita

On a summer afternoon in my neighborhood
So happy drinking at the little bar
Satisfied celebrating that conquest
Of Marianita's love who had accepted me last night
When a drunk crying his sorrows shouts
Says he's a wretch, that his luck is cursed
I asked him, friend why are you crying so much
What's the reason, why have you taken so many bottles
He said it's not for her but for him, whom he conquered last night
My girlfriend
And this afternoon when they go out for a walk in the little park
I'll be waiting
And in the arms of that traitor, I'll take her boyfriend's life
To show what a good man's honor should respect

And the girlfriend without a boyfriend will remain
And the girlfriend without a boyfriend will remain

When I first saw that boy
His words repeated in my mind
Because deep inside my heart sensed
That I had something to do with the drunk's sorrow
While he with rage and courage told me
This is the photograph for which I've cried so much today
And it was my Mariana, the one who swore me love last night
There was the one who could have been my killer today
I don't know what I felt, then I drank from the bottle
I wanted to scream the truth at him, tell him I'm the one
You want to kill
I'm her new boyfriend
But I preferred to stay quiet, a warned war never kills a soldier
Let God's will be done

I end it with her and that's the end
I end it with her and that's the end

The afternoon was dying when the drunk was leaving
I kept drinking, I wasn't worried about him
Because I trusted that my girlfriend wouldn't go out
I thought she would stay if I didn't go and look for her
And the next day surprised I read
The local newspaper brought these tragic words
Today a drunk is in jail who took the life
Of a man in the park who was walking with his beloved girlfriend
And she was Mariana, the girl who last night was left without a fiancé
And fifteen days later I found her happy
With another man who fell into her trap
Walking in the little park
And I felt quite compassionate because those
Who enjoyed her love
Look at the luck they had
One in the cemetery and the other in prison
One in the cemetery and the other in prison
One in the cemetery and the other in prison
One in the cemetery and the other in prison
One in the cemetery and the other in prison
One in the cemetery and the other in prison
