Juan de La Fuente

The town is called San Francisco,San francisco se llama el poblado,
My ballad is exactly from there,Mi corrido es de allá exactamente,
In mid-April they were killed,A mediados de abril se mataron,
Luis Hernández and Juan de la FuenteLuis hernández y juan de la fuente

Luis was kidnapping Susana,Luis se andaba raptando a susana
The most beautiful woman in town,La mujer más bonita del pueblo,
She only adored her Juan,Ella solo a su juan adoraba,
Unintentionally she was the cause of the duelSin querer fue la causa del duelo

Juan arrived to see his beloved,Juan llego para ver a su amada,
At those precise moments,En aquellos precisos momentos,
He accused Luis of the vile actReclamo a luis la vil canallada
Ten minutes later he was deadDiez minutos después era muerto

They grabbed each other by the neck,Se agarraron del cuello uno al otro,
They hugged, fell to the ground,Se abrazaron, cayeron al suelo,
In that stony alley,En aquel callejos pedregoso,
The steel daggers piercedSe clavaron las dagas de acero

Juan had his gun holstered,Juan traía su pistola fajada
His steel knife and blade,Su cuchillo de acero y navaja
As Luis only had a dagger,Como luis no traía más que daga,
Juan didn't want to fight with an advantageJuan no quiso pelear con ventaja

As a memory, there are two oak crosses,De recuerdo hay dos cruces de encino,
And a beautiful bride who cries,Y una novia bonita que llora,
San Francisco witnessed again,San francisco volvió a ser testigo,
A lover with many storiesDe un amante con muchas historias
