La Rubia Del Moño Negro
Felipe Arriaga
The Blonde with the Black Bun
It's the darkest ballad, that stuck in my mind
of a woman who made history, maybe for her pretty face
an almost perfect image, the blonde with the black bun.
At fifteen, the blonde, already knew how to make money
she married a tycoon, from the Greek archipelago
of a giant fortune, the owner of a shipyard.
There fell Frenchmen and also Americans
there fell Japanese goods and some German marks
oil from Venezuela and Mexican capital.
Then she sought young blood, but she also killed them
she enjoyed their caresses, then she gave them poison
afterward, she was left alone, she wore the black bun.
99 heads, she couldn't get a pardon
but she paid the same way, with a playboy from Acapulco
a Latin lover, but also very clever.
To close her chain, she came for the hundred
but they got to her first and she took that seat
and in the seas of Acapulco, that's where the black bun ended.
