Ella era su razón y su vida

Y ella era hermosa
And she was beautiful
Y ella era virtuosa

Y él fue

Ingenuo
Naive

Hubo otro hombre que vio

Que ella era hermosa

Un piadoso buitre de la ley
A pious vulture of the law
Quien, con un gesto de su garra

Sacó al barbero de su plato

Entonces no quedaba nada más que esperar

Y ella caería
And she would fall
Tan suave, tan joven, tan perdido
So soft, so young, so lost
Y, oh, tan hermosa
And, oh, so beautiful

Y la dama señor

¿Sucumbió ella?
Did she succumb?
Oh, eso fue hace muchos años
Oh, that was many years ago
Dudo que alguien lo sepa
I doubt if anyone would know
