La Ley Del Monte

The Law of the Mountain

La Ley Del Monte

I engraved your name on the agave leafGrabe en la penca de un maguey tu nombre
joined with mine, intertwinedunido al mío, entrelazadoooosss
as proof before the law of the mountaincomo una prueba ante la ley del monte
that we were in love thereque ahi estuvimos enamoradoooosss

You were the one who searched for the leafTu misma fuiste quien busco la penca
the prettiest, the most slenderla mas bonita , la mas esbelta
and you even said I should also engravey hasta dijiste que tambien grabara
two hearts with an arrow...dos corazones con una flecha...

Now you say you don't remember anymore,Ahora dices que ya no te acuerdas,
that nothing is true, that they are just wordsque nada es cierto, que son palaaaabraaaas
I am calm becauseyo estoy tranquilo porque
in the end, in our idyllal fin de cuenta en nuestro idilio
the leaves speaklas pencas hablaaaannn.

The same night you changed my love,La misma noche que mi amor cambiaste,
you also cut that leaftambien cortaste aquella pencaaa
you imagined that if you saw itte imaginaste que si la veías pa'
it would be like a slap in the faceti seria como una frenta
you forgot that the agave knewse te olvidaba que el maguey sabía
what you swore on our nightlo que juraste en nuestra nocheeee
and that in its own way it couldy que a su modo el tambien podría
reproach yourecriminarte con un reproche.

I don't know if you believe the strange things, that my eyes seeNo se si creas las extrañas cosas, que ven
maybe they amaze youmis ojos talves te asombreeeeesss
the new leaves that sprout on the agavelas pencas nuevas que al maguey le brotan
are marked with our namesvienen marcadas con nuestros nombreeeesss.
