Las Tres Mujeres
Los Cadetes de Linares
The Three Women
There's a legend going around
That in the Canales ranch
Three women appear
Who were rivals in life
They fought with knives
Out there among the mesquite trees
The one responsible for those deaths
Was named Santos Valdez
To each of them, separately
He said he loved them
But he didn't really care
He just played them for fools
Lucita was from the coast
From Charco Azul, María Inés
Estela was from Reynosa
The toughest of the three
She said: I'd lose my life
Before I let Santos Valdez win
They say in Laguna Seca
When people would pass by
You could hear women's screams
When the sun was going down
It was those brave souls
Who were still haunting in death
Santos Valdez went to their graves
To ask for their forgiveness
He prayed his prayers
With all his heart
And who would have thought
That he died there in the cemetery
Lucita was from the coast
From Charco Azul, María Inés
Estela was from Reynosa
The toughest of the three
She said: I'd lose my life
Before I let Santos Valdez win
