Por Un Maldito Desaire

For a Damn Snub

The town was celebrating
Very good bands were playing
Mauricio was drinking
His blood was boiling
And hurt by a disdain
For the woman he adored

Yolanda was very flirtatious
And charmed everyone
She was easy to love
Anyone would fall for her
She mocked men
Because she had an abundance of beauty

Mauricio didn't realize
She was always deceitful
He thought that anger
Was just a passing thing
But that lovely young woman
Slept with anyone

And there goes our friend Emilio
Until we pass out in Kansas
Or wherever the drunkenness takes us, buddy

Finally, the moment arrived
They looked at each other at the dance
No one provoked the encounter
He started to confront her
Nobody mocks me
Go whistle at your mother

Yolanda at that moment
Was looking very attractive
And she replied to Mauricio
Directly and very angrily
'I won't spend my life
Like a bitter old woman'

If a man is wounded
It's better never to provoke him
Yolanda ended up dead
At that beautiful dance
And they took her life
For a damn snub
