María de Los Guardias

Maria of the Guards

Let me introduce myself
I am Maria from the Potosme raso
Before I lost my innocence
Because of Lieutenant Cosme's inquiries
I also want to tell you
That I was kind of the girlfriend of Sergeant Guido
The thing is that this guy
Was transferred fifteen days ago

I am Maria, Maria is my grace
But they call me Maria of the guards
I am Maria, Maria
I don't walk with reasons, reasons
I carry on my account, on account
Five battalions

I was born there in the command
My mom took care of Captain Guandique
Because Tatecho is very big
She didn't have me in the main wall
It's not something that bothers me
To be the queen and lady of the Guard
But my first drink
I sucked it from a canteen

I am Maria, Maria is my grace
But they call me Maria of the guards
I am Maria, Maria
I don't walk with reasons, reasons
I carry on my account, on account
Five battalions

I was just fifteen years old
When they killed my first husband
It was during a shootout
Against a tough man named Sandino
They found my man
Traveling tilinte through the Rapador
I saw the poor thing
All shot up like a sieve

I am Maria, Maria is my grace
But they call me Maria of the guards
I am Maria, Maria
I don't walk with reasons, reasons
I carry on my account, on account
Five battalions

A certain Mingo loved me so much
That he set up a shop in my own house
To check himself for sure
For those days when he was off duty
I have Mingo patent
He never called me by my first name
Since he was kind of a poet
He only called me Bartolina's Flower

I am Maria, Maria is my grace
But they call me Maria of the guards
I am Maria, Maria
I don't walk with reasons, reasons
I carry on my account, on account
Five battalions
