La Bella Juanita

The Beautiful Juanita

La Bella Juanita

Through the dark streets of the townPor las calles oscuras del pueblo
A horse can be heardUn caballo se deja escuchar
Its sweaty and tired riderSu jinete sudoso y cansado
Spurs it, eager to arriveLo espolea ya quiere llegar
To embrace his beautiful JuanitaA abrazar a su bella Juanita
He can't imagine what he will findNo imagina lo que va a encontar

Upon reaching his house, he dismountsAl llegar a su casa se apea
And his dog comes out to meet himY su perro lo sale a encontrar
The dog's barks tell himLos ladridos del perro le dicen
The tragedy he will faceLa tragedia que se va a encontrar
He doesn't understand the dog's nervesNo comprende los nervios de perro
He tries to calm it with praiseCon halagos lo quiere calmar

Upon crossing the threshold of the doorAl cruzar el umbrar de la puerta
He trembles with so much painSe estremese de tanto dolor
His Juanita lying deadSu Juanita tirada ya muerta
The woman who was all his loveLa mujer que era todo su amor
He left her alone for businessPor negocios la dejo solita
He never thought he would live that horrorNo penso vivir nunca ese horror

With the last breath of lifeCon el último aliento de vida
He wrote a message with his bloodCon su sangre un recado escribio
It was Ramiro, your soulmateFue Ramiro tu amigo del alma
He raped me and then silenced meMe violo y desoues me silencio
He said he hated you with infinite rageDijo odiarte con rabia infinita
Because you won his lovePor que tú le ganaste su amor

He cries over her in his arms for a minuteUn minuto le llora en sus brazos
And then takes her to bury herY después se la lleva a enterrar
With hurried voice he saysCon su voz presurosa le dice
My Juanita, I will avenge youMi Juanita te voy a vengar
If I gave Ramiro brotherly loveSi a Ramiro le di amor de hermano
Now I hate him and I will kill himAhora lo odio y lo voy a matar

He saddles his finest horseEl ensilla su potro más fino
Brings his high-powered gunTrae su escuadra de alto poder
And sets off on the road againY se vuelve a tirar al camino
He can't return without avenging herSin vengarla no puede volver
Death gleams in his eyesEn sus ojos destella la muerte
He doesn't care about losing his lifeNo le importa la vida perder

In a bar in a distant little townEn un bar de un pueblito lejano
Six shots are heardSeis disparos de dejan oír
Miguel was bleeding from his sideA Miguel le sangraba un costado
Ramiro no longer existsYa Ramiro dejo de existir
A precious horse rides awayYa se aleja un precioso caballo
Its rider doesn't know where to goSu jinete no sabe a dónde ir
