A La Brava

By Force

A La Brava

Last night Serapio and TibursioAnte noche serapio y tibursio
Came running to inform meMe vinieron corriendo a visar
That my girl's mom and dadQue el papa y la mama de mi chata
Are taking her to the capital.Se la llevan a la capital.

I saddled my horse and trottedEnsille mi caballo y al trote
I ran to find out the truthFui corriendo a saber la verdad
I found the little house very sadEncontre la casita muy triste
Like a child, I started to cry.Como un niño me puse a llorar.

Her mom and dad don't want meSu papa y su mama no me quieren
And want to marry her off to anotherY con otro la quieren casar
They are looking for me to steal herEstan buscando que yo me robe
By force, I will take her away.A la brava me la he de llevar.

My horse and my dog are sadMi caballo y mi perro estan tristes
Because last night they saw me cryPor que anoche me vieron llorar
They know well that men don't crySaben bien que los hombres no lloran
But yesterday I couldn't hold back.Pero ayer no me pude aguantar.

Her mom and dad don't want meSu papa y su mama no me quieren
And want to marry her off to anotherY con otro la quieren casar
They are looking for me to steal herEstan buscando que yo me robe
By force, I will take her away.A la brava me la he de llevar.

But in the end, I bid you farewell, gentlemenMas en fin me despido señores
I carry my faithful heart woundedLlevo herido mi fiel corazon
By force, I take the young girlA la brava me llevo a la joven
Or maybe I take her by treachery.O talvez me la llevo a traicion.
