Lucio Vazquez

The peacocks took flightVolaron los pavo reales
Heading to the wet mountainsRumbo a la sierra mojada
They killed Lucio VázquezMataron a Lucio Vázquez
For a girl he lovedPor una joven que amaba
At 11 PMA las 11 de la noche
While Lucio was having dinnerQue Lucio estaba cenando
Some friends showed upLlegaron unos amigos
To invite him to a dancePara invitarlo a un fandango
His mother warned himSu madre se lo decía
My heart tells me soMe lo avisa el corazón
Son, don’t go to the danceHijo no vayas al baile
Watch out for betrayalCuídate de una traición
Don’t cry, dear motherNo llores madre querida
Your tears torment meQue me atormenta tu llanto
I’m going to dance with the girlVoy a bailar con la joven
You know I love so muchQue sabes que quiero tanto
They mounted their horsesMontaron en sus caballos
Heading to the wet mountainsRumbo a la sierra mojada
Where the girl was waitingDonde se hallaba la joven
That Lucio adored so muchQue Lucio tanto adoraba
When they arrived at the danceCuando llegaron al baile
Lucio didn’t want to drinkLucio no quiso tomar
One offered him a drinkUno le brinda una copa
And another stabbed him in the backY otro le clava un puñal
They stabbed himLe dieron las puñaladas
From the back to the heartDe la espalda al corazón
Just as his mother saidComo le dijo su madre
They killed him in betrayalLo mataron a traición
The peacocks took flightVolaron los pavo reales
Heading to the wet mountainsRumbo a la sierra mojada
They killed Lucio VázquezMataron a Lucio Vázquez
For a girl he lovedPor una joven que amaba
