A orillas del río bravo
On the banks of the brave river
En una hacienda escondida
In a hidden farm
Laurita mato a su novio
Laurita killed her boyfriend
Por que el ya no la quería
because he didn't love her anymore
Y con otra iba a casarse
And she with another she was going to marry
Nomas por que las podía
Just because she could
Hallaron dos cuerpos muertos
They found two dead bodies
Al fondo de una parcela
At the bottom of a plot
Uno era de Emilio Guerra
One was from Emilio Guerra
El prometido de Estela
Estela's fiancé
El otro de Laura Garza
The other by Laura Garza
La maestra de la escuela
The school teacher
La ultima vez se vieron
the last time they saw each other
Ella lo mando llamar
she sent him to call
Cariño del alma mía
love of my soul
Tú no te puedes casar
you can't get married
No decías que me amabas
you didn't say you loved me
Que era cuestión de esperar
that it was a matter of waiting
Tú no puedes hacerme esto
you can't do this to me
Que pensara mi familia
What would my family think?
No puedes abandonarme
you can't leave me
Después que te di mi vida
after i gave you my life
No digas que no me quieres
don't say you don't love me
Como antes si me querías
like before if you loved me
Solo vine a despedirme
I just came to say goodbye
Emilio le contesto
Emilio answered
Tengo mi novia pedida
I have my girlfriend requested
Por ti mi amor se acabo
For you my love is over
Que te sirva de experiencia
May it serve you experience
Lo que esta vez te pasó
what happened to you this time
No sabía que estaba armada
I didn't know she was armed
Y su muerte muy cerquita
And her death very close
De la bolsa de su abrigo
From his coat pocket
Saco una escuadra cortita
I take out a short square
Con ella le dio seis tiros
With it he gave six shots
Luego se mató Laurita
Then Laurita killed herself
