Laurita Garza
A orillas del río Bravo
En una hacienda escondida
Laurita mató a su novio
Porque él ya no la quería
Y, con otra, iba a casarse
Nomás porque las podía
Hallaron dos cuerpos muertos
Al fondo de una parcela
Uno era el de Emilio Guerra
El prometido de Estela
El otro, el de Laura Garza
La maestra de la escuela
La última vez se vieron
Ella lo mandó llamar
Cariño del alma mía
Tú no te puedes casar
¿No decías que me amabas?
Que era cuestión de esperar
Tú no puedes hacerme esto
¿Qué pensará mi familia?
No puedes abandonarme
Después que te di mi vida
No digas que no me quieres
Como antes sí me querías
Solo vine a despedirme
Emilio le contestó
Tengo mi novia pedida
Por ti, mi amor se acabó
Que te sirva de experiencia
Lo que, esta vez, te pasó
No sabía que estaba armada
Y su muerte muy cerquita
De la bolsa de su abrigo
Sacó una escuadra cortita
Con ella, le dio seis tiros
Luego se mató Laurita
Laurita Garza
On the banks of the Rio Grande
In a hidden hacienda
Laurita killed her boyfriend
Because he no longer loved her
And was going to marry another
Just because he could
They found two dead bodies
At the back of a plot
One was Emilio Guerra
Estela's fiancé
The other was Laura Garza
The school teacher
The last time they saw each other
She sent for him
My dearest love
You can't marry!
Didn't you say you loved me?
That it was just a matter of waiting
You can't do this to me
What will my family think?
You can't leave me
After I gave you my life
Don't say you don't love me
How you used to love me?
I just came to say goodbye
Emilio replied
I have my girlfriend promised
My love for you is over
Let this be a lesson
From what happened this time
She didn't know she was armed
And her death was very close
From the pocket of her coat
She took out a short gun
With it she shot him six times
Then Laurita killed herself
