Margarita La de Tijuana

From Piedras Negras, CoahuilaDe Piedras Negras, Coahuila
They left one morningSalieron una mañana
In front of IglepezAdelante de Iglepez
The immigration stopped themLa emigracion los paraba
Julian was from LaredoDe Laredo era Julián
Margarita from TijuanaMargarita de Tijuana

They were smugglingTraían un contrabando
That powder so soldDe ese polvo tan vendido
Margarita in her hairstyleMargarita en su peinado
There she had it hiddenAhí lo traía escondido
Let's go on a honeymoonVamos de Luna de miel
To beloved San AntonioA San Antonio querido

Margarita suspectedMargarita sospechaba
That Julian didn't love herQue Julián no la quería
Because sometimes he mentionedPorque a veces comentaba
That he had a girlfriendQue él una novia tenía
And that by saving some moneyY que juntando una plata
He would marry herCon ella se casaría

$20,000 were given20,000 dólares dieron
When they delivered the cargoCuando entregaron la carga
Julian kept that moneyJulián guardó aquel dinero
And holding his gunY empuñando su pistola
I'm going to LaredoYo me voy para Laredo
Your presence bothers meYa tu presencia me estorba

Raising his gunLevantando su pistola
He aimed at the heartLe apuntaba al corazón
Margarita from her bagMargarita de su bolsa
Showed him a magazineLe enseñaba un cargador
I unloaded your gunYo descargué tu pistola
I sensed your betrayalPresentía tu traición

4 shots rang outSonaron 4 balazos
Julian fell deadJulián bien muerto cayó
And that bundle of billsY aquel fajo de billetes
Margarita tookMargarita se llevó
For having unfinished businessPor tener cuentas pendientes
She didn't return to TijuanaA Tijuana no volvió
