Balajú went to war
And he didn't want to take me
And he didn't want to take me
To see who gets there first
To the other side of the sea
He drove his horse into the water
_____
The one above didn't pity him
We don't know where they are
Throughout the whole earth
These are times of darkness
My beloved and sweet Natalia
That her essence is of light
And she comes from Veracruz
With her voice and her guitar
She always brings happiness
Let's welcome with applause
And the one with the purple ribbon
But my Veracruz even more
_____
Ariles of the one that went
_____
To give water to his horse
And it died of thirst on him
I sing at the foot of your window
_____
So that you know that I love you
They say that I'm very mistaken
_____
That I wake from my dreams
But they have been mistaken
_____
Because I will be your mistress
I have already adored you
That I must bring down from the sky
I won't bring down the moon
And even though I have no fortune
_____
You will love me little by little
I have already adored you
I have already adored you
