En La Penca De Un Maguey
Grave en la penca de un maguey
Tu nombre unido al mio, entre lazados
Como una prueba ante la ley del monte
Que hay estuvimos enamorados
Tu misma fuiste quien busco la penca
La mas bonita la mas esbelta
Y hasta dijiste que tambien grabara
Dos corazones con una flecha
Y ahora dices que ya no te acuerdas
Que nada es cierto que son palabras
Yo estoy tanquilo porque a fin de cuentas
En nuestro irilio las pencas hablan
(y sabes que ingrata el monte todavia
Nos sigue esperando chiquitita)
La misma noche que mi amor cambiaste
Tambien cortaste aquella penca
Te imaginaste que si la veia
Pa ti seria como una ofrenta
Se te olvidaba que el maguey sabia
Lo que juraste en esta noche
Y que a su modo el tambien podria
Recriminarte con un reproche
No se si creas las extrañas cosas
Que ven mis ojos tal vez te asombres
Las pencas nuevas que al maguey le brontan
Vienen marcadas con nuestros nombres
In the Agave Plant's Leaf
Engraved in the agave plant's leaf
Your name joined with mine, intertwined
As evidence before the law of the mountain
That we were in love there
It was you who searched for the leaf
The most beautiful, the most slender
And you even said I should also engrave
Two hearts with an arrow
And now you say you don't remember
That nothing is true, just words
I am calm because in the end
In our irilio, the leaves speak
(And you know, ungrateful, the mountain still
Awaits us, my dear)
The same night you changed my love
You also cut that leaf
You thought that if I saw it
It would be like an offering to you
You forgot that the agave plant knew
What you swore on this night
And that in its own way, it could also
Reproach you
I don't know if you believe the strange things
That my eyes see, maybe you'll be surprised
The new leaves that sprout on the agave plant
Are marked with our names
