Casi sonaban las doce
It was almost twelve o'clock
Cuando llegó aquel vaquero
When that cowboy arrived
Desensilló su caballo
He unsaddled his horse
Y se quitó su sombrero
And he took off his hat.
Venía a pasarse la noche
He came to spend the night
Con la más linda del pueblo
With the most beautiful in town
Estaban recién casados
They were newlyweds
Salió a trabajar tres días
He went to work for three days
Bajó ardiendo en deseos
He came down burning with desires
Por la mujer que él quería
For the woman he loved
La muerte andaba rondando
Death was hanging around
Y nadie la presentía
And no one sensed it.
Estaba lloviendo fuerte
It was raining hard
Con el goteo se arrullaban
With the drip they lulled themselves to sleep
Porque no se percataron
Because they didn't realize
Cuando el vaquero llegaba
When the cowboy arrived
Un relámpago alumbró
Lightning flashed
A dos cuerpos en la cama
Two bodies in bed
El odio cegó su mente
Hatred blinded his mind
Con rabia les apuntaba
With rage he aimed at them
Se oyeron detonaciones
Detonations were heard
Hasta acabarse las balas
Until the bullets run out
Quería cobrarse la ofensa
He wanted to take the offense
Eso era lo que él pensaba
That's what he thought.
Cuando descubrió los cuerpos
When he discovered the bodies
Quiso morir de tristeza
He wanted to die of sadness
Primero, abrazó a su esposa
First, he hugged his wife.
Después a su madre muerta
Then to his dead mother
La tempestad era noche
The storm was night
Les regaló una sorpresa
He gave them a surprise
Su madre por la distancia
His mother because of the distance
Muy poco los visitaba
Very little visited them
Y se sentía temerosa
And she felt fearful.
Si el cielo relampagueaba
If the sky flashed
Por eso durmieron juntas
That's why they slept together.
Por sentirse acompañadas
For feeling accompanied
Después que las enterraron
After they were buried
Se oyó un disparo a lo lejos
A shot was heard in the distance
Se presentía la tragedia
The tragedy was foreseen
Por los acontecimientos
For the events
En donde se oyó el disparo
Where the shot was heard
Estaba el vaquero muerto
There was the dead cowboy
