Rosa and Juanita were orphaned by their father and motherRosa y Juanita quedaron huérfanas de padre y madre

Juanita went down to the village to try on her dressJuanita bajó hasta el pueblo, para probar su vestido
But she was so beautiful, Zeferino fancied herPero estaba tan preciosa, se le antojó a Zeferino
And when she was returning, the bastard defiled herY cuando ya regresaba, la mancilló el mal nacido

Juanita returned home, crying, with her clothes tornJuanita volvió a su casa, llorando, con sus ropas destrozadas
And between sobs she said, "Oh, how embarrassing my sister"Y entre sollozos decía, "¡Ay, qué vergüenza mi hermana"
No one knew of his misfortune, and time continued its marchNadie supo su desgracia, y el tiempo siguió su marcha
Rosa and Juanita planned what their revenge would be likeRosa y Juanita planeaban cómo sería su venganza
And Zeferino in the village, very calmly walked aroundY Zeferino en el pueblo, muy tranquilo se paseaba

The expected date arrived, and there is a dead person in the townLlegó la fecha esperada, y hay un difunto en el pueblo
And the person who found it says that the body was incompleteY dice quien lo encontró, que el cuerpo estaba incompleto
What he lacked in manhood, the dogs swallowed upLo que le faltaba de hombre, se lo tragaban los perros
