Por Ella

They say that down in the hood
Reigned among the thugs
A woman of courage
And unmatched beauty
She was proud and haughty
And looked down on everyone
And for her, the tough guys
Of the neighborhood fought

But there were two tough guys
Who equally loved her
And both courted her
Firmly and without giving up
But she replied
With well-thought-out lies
And told the two men
That she would finally stay
With the one who could show
More manliness

Until one night finally
The two handsome men met
Right there they challenged each other
In front of the woman
And after a terrible fight
The woman saw that the one she loved
Was the one who fell
Dead at her feet

They say the other tough guy
Paid dearly for the duel
And with deep sorrow
Had a long sentence to serve
But before the wind vane
For being a traitor and a flirt
So she would always remember
He marked her so clearly
That she carries on her face
A red scar

That's how the men of my past
Settled their scores
