Nomas Las Mujeres Quedan

Only the Women Remain

Nomas Las Mujeres Quedan

In a canyon in the mountainsEn un cañon de la sierra
There's a ranch lost to timeHay un rancho en el olvido
They declared war on each otherSe declararon la guerra
Men who once lived just fineHombres que vivian tranquilos
Only the women remainNomás las mujeres quedan
They died from gunfireEllos murieron a tiros

On the north side, the PerezDel lado norte los Perez
On the south side, the GarciaDel lado sur los Garcia
Because of the womenPor culpa de las mujeres
That both sides desiredQue unos y otros pretendian
Little by little they were wiped outPoco a poco se acabaron
Those two dynasties expiredAquellas dos dinastias

The women were so lovelyLas mujeres muy hermosas
They entered into marriageLlegaban al matrimonio
But now they wear blackPero ahora andan enlutadas
And it's a sad heritageY es el triste testimonio
Because through those backroadsQue por esos andurreales
The devil was unleashedAnduvo suelto el demonio

The cornfield doesn't bloom anymoreYa ni la milpa florece
The land is left behindEl campo esta abandonado
Even the weeds don't growNi la hierba mala crece
And all the livestock has diedY ha muerto todo el ganado
And the river, it seemsY el rio segun parece
Is drying up, unkindTambien ya se esta secando

Only the women remainNomas las mujeres quedan
And the hate is killing themY el odio las va matando
On their faces, they carryEn el rostro siempre llevan
The marks left by their tearsLa huella que deja el llanto
They remember their husbandsDe sus maridos se acuerdan
Crying in the graveyardLlorando en el camposanto

The women were so lovelyLas mujeres muy hermosas
They entered into marriageLlegaban al matrimonio
But now they wear blackPero ahora andan enlutadas
And it's a sad heritageY es el triste testimonio
Because through those backroadsQue por esos andurreales
The devil was unleashedAnduvo suelto el demonio
