Laurita Garza
A orillas del río Bravo
En una hacienda escondida
Laurita mató a su novio
Porque él ya no la quería
Que con otra iba a casarse
Nomás porque las podía
Hallaron dos cuerpos muertos
Al fondo de una parcela
Uno era de Emilio Guerra
El prometido de Estela
Y el otro de Laura Garza
La maestra de la escuela
La última vez que se vieron
Ella lo mandó llamar
Cariño del alma mía
Tu no te puedes casar
No decías que me amabas
Qué era cuestión de esperar
Solo vine a despedirme
Emilio le contestó
Tengo mi novia pedida
Por ti mi amor se acabó
Qué te sirva de experiencia
Lo que está vez te paso
Tu no puedes hacerme eso
Que pensara mi familia
No puedes abandonarme
Después que te di mi vida
No digas que no me quieres
Como antes si me querías
No sabían que estaba armada
Y su muerte muy cerquita
De la bolsa de su abrigo
Saco una escuadra cortita
Con ella le dio seis tiros
Luego se mató Laurita
Laurita Garza
On the banks of the Rio Grande
In a hidden hacienda
Laurita killed her boyfriend
Because he no longer loved her
He was going to marry another
Just because he could
They found two dead bodies
At the back of a plot
One was Emilio Guerra
Estela's fiancé
And the other was Laura Garza
The schoolteacher
The last time they saw each other
She sent for him
My dearest love
You cannot marry
You said you loved me
That it was just a matter of waiting
I only came to say goodbye
Emilio replied
I have my girlfriend promised
My love for you is over
Let this be a lesson
For what you're going through this time
You can't do this to me
What will my family think
You can't abandon me
After I gave you my life
Don't say you don't love me
Like you used to
They didn't know she was armed
And her death was very close
From the pocket of her coat
She pulled out a short gun
With it she shot him six times
Then Laurita killed herself
