La Bella Juanita

Through the dark streets of the town
A horse can be heard
Its sweaty and tired rider
Spurs it, eager to arrive
To embrace his beautiful Juanita
He can't imagine what he will find

Upon reaching his house, he dismounts
And his dog comes out to meet him
The dog's barks tell him
The tragedy he will face
He doesn't understand the dog's nerves
He tries to calm it with praise

Upon crossing the threshold of the door
He trembles with so much pain
His Juanita lying dead
The woman who was all his love
He left her alone for business
He never thought he would live that horror

With the last breath of life
He wrote a message with his blood
It was Ramiro, your soulmate
He raped me and then silenced me
He said he hated you with infinite rage
Because you won his love

He cries over her in his arms for a minute
And then takes her to bury her
With hurried voice he says
My Juanita, I will avenge you
If I gave Ramiro brotherly love
Now I hate him and I will kill him

He saddles his finest horse
Brings his high-powered gun
And sets off on the road again
He can't return without avenging her
Death gleams in his eyes
He doesn't care about losing his life

In a bar in a distant little town
Six shots are heard
Miguel was bleeding from his side
Ramiro no longer exists
A precious horse rides away
Its rider doesn't know where to go
