Maria de Los Guardias

Let me introduce myself:
I am Maria from the Potosme barracks
I lost my innocence before
because of Lieutenant Cosme's inquiries

I also want to tell you
that I was kind of the girlfriend of Sergeant Guido
what happens is that this guy
has been transferred fifteen days ago

I am Maria Maria in my grace
but they call me Maria of the guards

I am Maria Maria
I don't walk with reasons reasons
I already have on my account by account
five battalions

I was born there in the command
my mom took care of Captain Guandique
because Tata Chu is very important
she didn't have me in the main wall

It's not that I pretend
to be the queen and lady of the Guard
but my first drink
I sucked it from a canteen

I am Maria Maria in my grace
but they call me Maria of the guards

I was just turning fifteen
when they killed my first husband
it was during a shootout
against a tough man named Sandino

They found my man
traveling tilinte through Rapador
I saw the poor thing
all shot up like a sieve

I am Maria Maria in my grace
but they call me Maria of the guards

A certain Mingo loved me so much
that he set up a shop in my own house
to make sure
during those days he was off duty

I have Mingo patented
he never called me by my first name
as he was kind of a poet
he only called me Bartolina's Flower

I am Maria Maria in my grace
but they call me Maria of the guards
