La Viuda Millonaria

I was young
I shook hands with the widow of a farm
She was about 70 years old.
But when she got ready she looked like a queen

The thing started one afternoon
When my mother chats with her for a while
I did notice that that other day in the morning
My mom bought me clothes and a new bicycle.

On the fourth day in the afternoon, the widow arrived at my house on a mare
And he said to my mother: Hey, lady, where is the lagoon?
So that my mare can eat and drink a little water
And if it's not that far because your son won't take me

I accompanied her with affection
And on the way he told me honestly
"Listen to me, son, I am the millionaire widow
And I'm looking for a boy who loves me
That he knows well the plain and that he is from a good family
And don't be embarrassed to walk with me as a hook

I told him: That's with me
But first you need to understand
I need you to put my name on it
About 400 cattle with four leagues of land

He told me: Don't worry
If we get married you will have everything you want
And it will go up and down
With me always by your side since I am your partner

The afternoon of the wedding
When I get to the church with the old woman
Four girls who were near the door
When they saw us they formed a group
Saying: What a strange thing, the bride never arrives
But the groom arrived ahead, hugging his mother-in-law.

Marriage done
A rancher was waiting for us on the street.
To take us to the gala party
Where that night there were people like stone
My friends told me: I congratulate you, Panela
But where is your wife who has arrived with your grandmother?

Since I was very young
I had to do everything she said
One day he told me: Let's go to town for a moment
I'm driving the car or else as a passenger.

How I was learning
Entering the town I got on a sidewalk
But I didn't see that he had killed a musiú
Who was at that moment at the door of a store

She fixed all that
With a lawyer, with a crowbar and with a coin
And as we headed to where she had a villa
A girl was waiting outside
And he said to her: Mamaíta, I came from England
Because 24 hours ago the war started there

The very curious girl
He asked him which part I was from.
And the old lady answered him with malice
This is a child that I have there on the farm.
So that he can check the cattle and the chickens and take care of him
I threw food at the cats, a pig and a dog.

I remembered clearly
What my cousin told me one Christmas Eve
That old lady you married
4 husbands have died because she poisons them

The girl and her mother
That afternoon they were preparing a dinner
And I also have a rat poison tube
I emptied it completely into the oatmeal cup.

I hid among the solar
And between the fifth the sampablera lit up
When the young woman saw the poison case
He said haughtily to his mother
Don't marry creatures who only suck coins
Besides, you are old and you are sick

The old lady answers
Dying with rage, girl, don't be rude
I have no gray hair, no wrinkles on my face
And now is when I consider myself tender
I don't want anything with old people because that disconsolates me.
What do I do with a box and without a match, with a cigarette and without a candle?
