Mateo Gamarra
Atención pido, señores, un momento pehendumi
La desgracia sucedido en el Puerto Guaraní
El 12 mes de octubre un baile oje-ofrecé
Omano Mateo Gamarra en manos de su mujer
Oje'ói la farrahápe pe pyhareve asaje
Rodando en este mundo para siempre en este día
El miércoles desgraciado a las 11 del mediodía
En la casa Miguel Medina la desgracia o-sucedé
Og̃uahẽ upépe Gamarra una polka para mí
Osẽma ombojeroky un tal Emilia Ortiz
Sin recelo voi Gamarra Emíliape omongeta
Ha héra la iserviha un tal Delfina Servín
Upéichandaje Gamarra toda la pieza ojapo
He'ima chupe Delfina: ¡Anivéna péicha reiko!
No hay caso, he'i Gamarra ha upéichante oseguí
Si es que ojedisgustarõ, che apoíntene ichugui
Ha upéva ohendu Delfina, Gamárrape osẽ he'i
¡Ha nde negozaharã, quién sabe che karai!
Che ha'e Delfina Servín ne'ĩra cheikuaapa
Kuña jepéniko che, anicheva'erã che burlá
Osẽma upépe Delfina con un revólver en la mano
Los cinco tiros seguido Gamárrape ojapipa
Ho'áma upépe Gamarra, ¡Socorro! Ojerure
¿Mba'ére piko, Delfina, rejapo kóicha cherehe?
¿Reikuaámapa Gamarra ku Delfina oje'eha?
Anichéne rejekeha, si a tiempo roavisá
Gamarra noñe'ẽvéima, más que solo he'iva'ekue
¡Adiósmante, los amigos! Pevy'aitékena cherehe
Mateo Gamarra
Attention please, folks, just a moment here
A tragedy happened at the Guaraní Port
On the 12th of October, a dance was held
By Mateo Gamarra, in the hands of his wife
They say he was rolling in the sheets that night
Spinning in this world forever on this day
On that cursed Wednesday at noon
In Miguel Medina's house, the tragedy struck
Gamarra arrived there, a polka just for me
Emilia Ortiz was dancing, looking so fine
Without a doubt, Gamarra was chatting up Emilia
And the maid's name was a certain Delfina Servín
So Gamarra made the whole place come alive
Delfina told him: "Don't you dare act like that!"
No way, Gamarra said, and he kept on going
If you’re gonna get mad, just take it out on me
And when Delfina heard this, she shot back at Gamarra
"And for your business, who knows, my man!"
I’m Delfina Servín, you don’t know me
A woman like me, you better not mess with me
Then Delfina stepped out with a revolver in hand
Five shots fired straight at Gamarra, oh man
Gamarra fell down, "Help!" he cried out
"Why, Delfina, did you do this to me?"
"Do you know what Gamarra is saying about Delfina?"
"I swear you’re gonna regret it if I don’t warn you in time"
Gamarra couldn’t speak, more than he had said
"Goodbye, my friends! Take care of me, please!"
