When this tragedy laid bareCuando paso esta tragedia

Juan, seeing his belovedJuan al mirar a su amada
Couldn’t stand the betrayalLa traición no soporto
He pulled out his pistolSaco su pistola escuadra
And shot all three without failY a los tres les disparo
Fleeing in his truckHuyendo en su camioneta
But he died on the curves, palePero en las curvas murió
