Olvidao
Edmundo Rivero
Forgotten
They killed poor Conteras!
He had just gotten married! It's unbelievable!
Juan Luz Mala, jumped the fence
And came to take his own wife
It was in the courtyard of the estate 'La Hazaña'
The bride and groom's party was splendid
But suddenly two daggers turned
That joy into a scene of horror
Fatally wounded
And bathed in blood
The newlywed spoke
In this way:
It's nothing, my gal
Don't be scared, my soul
Both fighting
We lost the knife
I feel a cold breeze
Coming over me
Here, on this side
Over my heart
Take me some flowers
Go visit me
The earth is too cold
To be forgotten
Goodbye, gal
I'll be waiting for you!
I'm fading away
Just about done!
At first it was all promises
The widow cried, undoubtedly too much
But in the end, her sadness faded away
And she never went to see her poor gaucho again
No wonder that on stormy nights
You can clearly hear the voice of the deceased
Calling her name: Lucinda
I'm very lonely, come to my side!
