Desenlace

Right near the snow
In the lands of Guajira
A beautiful native girl
From that thriving region
She gave her heart away
To a Guajiro student
Who even moved to the city
In search of an education
And started a career
That was her greatest dream
Vacation time would come
And the student would return
Because they loved each other
Both were desperate

That love was so sweet
Their relationship was a model
And the years went by
As he built his profession
And she patiently waited
Faithful to her boyfriend for ten years

The moment they longed for arrived
What the bride had been dreaming of
Because when he graduated
He would marry her
What she didn’t foresee
Was that the professional
Thought he should find
Someone educated like him
And not the one who loved him
And had made her wait so long
But he never wrote again
Nor asked about her
While she, wrapped in sorrow
Cried tears of anguish

He returned to see his family
Accompanied by another girl
It was heard that the wedding
Would be on October twelfth
Because that day coincided
With the Patron's festival

But in life, there are mistakes
Unforgivable mistakes
That can even cost
A good man his life
Because a wounded woman
Blinded by jealousy
Swore that before losing him
She would end her life
And with her wicked plan
She went to the other side of town
Arrived at the dance hall
And spotted him right away
And like a madwoman in rage
She went straight to where he was

She hugs him, then shoots him
Until she takes his life
And there she commits suicide
Saying these words to him
If you mocked my life here
Then maybe in heaven you’ll love me.
