El Campanero

The Bellringer

El Campanero

Arriving at the church Fausto Peña diedLlegando a la iglesia murió fausto peña
In front of everyone he fell from a gunshotDelante de todos cayo de un balazo
A precise bullet hit the doorGrentito a la puerta una bala certera
Prevented him from getting married, what a sad failure.Le impidió casarse que triste fracaso.

He fell face up, spoke and said to themCayo boca arriba hablaba y les dijo
May God forgive me and take me to heavenQue dios me perdone y me lleve hasta el cielo
They shot me from up there from the towerA mi me tiraron de allá de la torre
I saw with my own eyes that it was the bellringer.Yo vi con mis ojos que fue el campanero.

And the bellringer from above shoutedY el campanero de arriba gritaba
Dying of rage with a very furious voiceMuriendo de rabia con voz muy furiosa
Ask Fausto why I killed himPregúntenle a fausto porque lo he matado
He knows that last night I found him with my wife.El sabe que anoche lo hallé con mi esposa.

Fausto Peña spoke and told them very clearlyHablo fausto peña y les dijo muy claro
I confess it's true, she was my loverConfieso que es cierto ella era mi amante
I ask the judges to forgive that manLes pido a los jueces perdonen a ese hombre
And I beg you to pray for my soul.Y a ustedes les ruego que recen por mi alma.

From above, shots from another gun were heardDe lo alto se oyeron disparos de otra arma
The priest and the people ran upEl cura y la gente subieron corriendo
They saw the bride shooting herselfVieron a la novia que se daba un tiro
After killing the bellringer.Después de matar ella al campanero.

Arriving at the church Fausto Peña diedLlegando a la iglesia murió fausto peña
And up in the tower his precious brideY arriba en la torre su novia preciosa
Killed the bellringer and condemns no oneMato al campanero y a nadie condena
For he had killed his wife in the ferris wheel.Que el había matado en la noria a su esposa.
