Tuvo un amor desde niño

Que nunca pudo olvidar

Puso sus ojos muy altos

El hijo del caporal

Raúl Vidal, hombre rico
Raul Vidal, rich man
Le robó a Martín su amor

Con un balazo en la pierna

Del pueblo Martín partió
From the people Martin departed
Pasado el tiempo, regresa
After time, come back
Y casada ya la encontró
And married already found her
Volvió Martín ya muy rico

Con Raúl vino a jugar
With Raul he came to play
Pero Raúl perdió todo
But Raul lost everything
Ya no tenía qué apostar
I didn't have anything to bet anymore
Tú tienes algo en la vida
You have something in life
Que yo no pude alcanzar
That I could not reach
Va todo lo que yo tengo
It's all I have
Si su amor quieres jugar
If your love you want to play
Raúl se quedó pensando
Raul was left thinking
Y al fin decidió aceptar
And at last he decided to accept
Le destaparon cuatro ases

Se sintió Raúl morir

Del juego, así son las leyes

No había ni qué discutir
There was nothing to discuss
Pa mí las deudas de juego
For me gambling debts
Son siempre deudas de honor

Te gané lo que más quiero

Ya había otra deuda anterior

Creo que ya estamos a mano
I think we are already at hand
Y me pagas ahora mismo
And you pay me right now
Si te queda algo de honor

Raúl volvió con su esposa
Raul returned to his wife
Y al abrir Martín la puerta
And when Martin opens the door

Y cayó su esposa muerta

Y mirando a su rival
