El 24 de Junio

On June 24th, the very day of Saint JohnEl 24 de junio el mero dia de san juan
A dance was celebrated in that town of IslamUn baile se celebraba en ese pueblo de islam
Senaida, early in the morning, smiling, says to JuanSenaida desde temprano sonriendo le dice a juan
Because it's your saint's day, you must take me to the dancePor ser el dia de tu santo al baile me has de llevar
I don't want to offend youNo quiero hacerte el desaire
But I have a feelingPero algo presiento yo
That tonight at the danceQue esta noche en el baile
The function will be ruinedSe te amargue la funcion

Come on, let's go to Sinaloa, buddyArriba veranos sinaloa compa ua
Look, Micaela is talking to youMira micaila que te hablo
Don't go to that gatheringNo vallas a esa reunion
The devil is tempting meEsta tentandome el diablo
To throw the plate at SimonDe hecharle el plato a simon
Micaela arrived earlyLlego micaela temprano
And started dancing right awaySe puso luego a bailar
She found her partnerSe encontro el compañero
Juan's main rivalEl mero rival de juan

The hours pass joyfullyAlegres pasan las horas
The clock marks the timeLacidos se marca el reloj
When a gunshotCuando un tiro de pistola
Pierced two bodiesDos cuerpos atraveso
Fly, little dove, flyVuele y vuela palomita
Pass by that cemeteryPasa por aquel panteon
Where Micaela must beDonde ha de estar micaelita
With her beloved SimonCon su querido simon
