El Fuereño
Llego un fuereño a cabargo
Al paso de su montura
Traía en su mente un encargo
Y en su mirada amargura
Pensaba que aquel poblado
Era el fin de su aventura
El pueblo estaba de fiesta
Pues se casaba petrita
Las campanas de la iglesia
Sonaban para la misa
Los rostros de la pareja
Se iluminaban de risa
Petrita dijo a su amado
Al entrar en la parroquia
Deste recinto sagrado saldré feliz y dichosa
Cuando ya estemos casados
Seré tu amante y tu esposa
Con un disparo de máuser
Se ollo la vos del fuereño
Aquí estoy para matarte
Antes que logres tu empeño
Con nadie podrás casarte
Por que yo e sido tu dueño
Por ser un pobre ranchero
Te burlaste de mi amor
Y te viniste a este pueblo
Por un partido mejor
Me isistes garras el pecho
Y estoy loco de dolor
Cuatro balazos se oyeron
Petrita se estremeció
Los invitados corrieron
Y el novio solo quedo
Por que también el fuereño
Otro balazo se dio
The Stranger
A stranger arrived on horseback
At the pace of his mount
He carried a mission in his mind
And bitterness in his gaze
He thought that town
Was the end of his adventure
The town was celebrating
As Petrita was getting married
The church bells
Were ringing for the mass
The faces of the couple
Lit up with laughter
Petrita said to her beloved
Upon entering the church
From this sacred place I will leave happy and blessed
When we are married
I will be your lover and your wife
With a Mauser shot
The voice of the stranger was heard
Here I am to kill you
Before you achieve your goal
With no one you will marry
Because I have been your owner
For being a poor rancher
You mocked my love
And you came to this town
For a better match
You made claws on my chest
And I am crazy with pain
Four shots were heard
Petrita shuddered
The guests ran
And the groom was left alone
Because the stranger too
Gave himself another shot
