En un carretón viejito, donde venía Fortino
In an old cart, where Fortino came from
Traía un cajón de madera, con el cuerpo de su niño
He brought a wooden box with the body of his child.
Venía dispuesto a matar, quien detenga su camino
He came willing to kill, whoever stops his way
En una casa muy rica, de la hacienda 'La Rosita'
In a very rich house, from the hacienda 'La Rosita'
Fortino tocó la puerta, le respondieron 'ahorita'
Fortino knocked on the door, they answered him "right now"
Para aparecer después una mujer muy bonita
To appear later a very pretty woman
La mujer se sorprendió, al ver el carretonero
The woman was surprised when she saw the cart driver
Aquí no damos limosnas, no queremos pordioseros
Here we do not give alms, we do not want beggars
Vale más que se retire y no vuelva, limosnero
It is better that he retires and does not return, beggar
Qué pronto se te olvidó que fui tu esposo primero
How soon you forgot that I was your husband first
Nos dejaste por otro hombre que tiene mucho dinero
You left us for another man who has a lot of money
Aquí muerto traigo a tu hijo, le dijo el carretonero
Here dead I bring your son, the cart driver told him
Sacó una pistola escuadra, del morral que ya traía
He took out a squad pistol, from the backpack that he already brought
Antes de morir, a mi hijo le juré te encontraría
Before I died, I swore to my son that I would find you.
Solamente que no supo, que después te mataría
Only he did not know, that later he would kill you
Le disparó seis balazos al pecho de la señora
He fired six bullets into the lady's chest.
Tu amante tiene dinero, para que te entierre ahora
Your lover has money, for him to bury you now
Ya mi hijo trae su cajón, solo faltas tú, traidora
Now my son brings his drawer, only you are missing, traitor
A mí que me echen pa'l monte, hablo con mucha tristeza
To me that they throw me to the mountain, I speak with great sadness
Al abrazarse de su hijo, se aferraba con firmeza
Embracing his son, he clung firmly
Después levantó su brazo, se disparó en la cabeza
Then he raised his arm, shot himself in the head
