A La Brava
Ante noche serapio y tibursio
Me vinieron corriendo a visar
Que el papa y la mama de mi chata
Se la llevan a la capital.
Ensille mi caballo y al trote
Fui corriendo a saber la verdad
Encontre la casita muy triste
Como un niño me puse a llorar.
Su papa y su mama no me quieren
Y con otro la quieren casar
Estan buscando que yo me robe
A la brava me la he de llevar.
Mi caballo y mi perro estan tristes
Por que anoche me vieron llorar
Saben bien que los hombres no lloran
Pero ayer no me pude aguantar.
Su papa y su mama no me quieren
Y con otro la quieren casar
Estan buscando que yo me robe
A la brava me la he de llevar.
Mas en fin me despido señores
Llevo herido mi fiel corazon
A la brava me llevo a la joven
O talvez me la llevo a traicion.
By Force
Last night Serapio and Tibursio
Came running to inform me
That my girl's mom and dad
Are taking her to the capital.
I saddled my horse and trotted
I ran to find out the truth
I found the little house very sad
Like a child, I started to cry.
Her mom and dad don't want me
And want to marry her off to another
They are looking for me to steal her
By force, I will take her away.
My horse and my dog are sad
Because last night they saw me cry
They know well that men don't cry
But yesterday I couldn't hold back.
Her mom and dad don't want me
And want to marry her off to another
They are looking for me to steal her
By force, I will take her away.
But in the end, I bid you farewell, gentlemen
I carry my faithful heart wounded
By force, I take the young girl
Or maybe I take her by treachery.
