Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Oriente by La Lupe from Spanish to English.
Por fin, ya se caso la Lupe, la que nunca se había casado
Finally, La Lupe got married, the one who had never gotten married
La que dicen que por su culpa, dos hombres se habían matado
The one they say, because of her, two men had killed each other
La que el pueblo señaló, como una mala mujer
The one the town pointed out, as a bad woman
Y fama llegó a tener de ser lo pero de lo peor
And she became famous for being the worst of the worst
Por fin, ya se caso la Lupe, la que siempre vistió de negro
Finally, La Lupe got married, the one who always dressed in black
Y que ahora, de blanco luce, para enterrar su recuerdo
And now, she wears white, to bury her past
A un hombre no le importo, si de ella se hablaba mal
A man didn't care, if people spoke ill of her
Y a su jacal se acercó, para llevarla al altar
And he approached her shack, to take her to the altar
Por fin, ya se caso la Lupe, y el pueblo que le abra paso
Finally, La Lupe got married, and the town opened the way for her
Vestida de blanco luce, y va conmigo del brazo
Dressed in white, she walks with me arm in arm
Por fin, ya se caso la Lupe
Finally, La Lupe got married
