Lyrics
Español
La quise como nadie tal vez haya querido y la adoraba tanto que hasta celos sentí. Por ella me hice bueno, honrado y buen marido y en hombre de trabajo, mi vida convertí. Al cabo de algún tiempo de unir nuestro destino nacía un varoncito, orgullo de mi hogar; y era mi dicha tanta al ver claro mi camino, ser padre de familia, honrado y trabajar. Pero una noche de Reyes, cuando a mi hogar regresaba, comprobé que me engañaba con el amigo más fiel. Y ofendido en mi amor propio quise vengar el ultraje, lleno de ira y coraje ¡sin compasión los maté! Qué cuadro compañeros, no quiero recordarlo, me llena de vergüenza, de odio y de rencor. ¡De qué vale ser bueno! Si aparte de vengarme clavaron en mi pecho la flecha del dolor. Por eso compañero, como hoy es día de Reyes, los zapatitos el nene afuera los dejó. Espera un regalito y no sabe que a la madre por falsa y por canalla, ¡su padre la mató!
English · machine translation
I loved her like no one else has ever loved her and I adored her so much that I even felt jealous. For her I became good, honest and a good husband and I turned my life into a man of work. After some time of uniting our destiny a baby boy was born, the pride of my home; and I was so happy to see my path clear, to be the father of a family, honest and hardworking. But one Epiphany night, when I was returning home, I found out that I was cheating on myself with the most faithful friend. And offended in my self-respect I wanted to avenge the outrage, full of rage and courage I mercilessly killed them! What a picture comrades, I don't want to remember it, it fills me with shame, hatred and rancor. What's the use of being good! If apart from avenging me they stuck in my chest the arrow of pain. That's why, comrade, as today is Epiphany, the baby left his little shoes outside. He's waiting for a little present and he doesn't know that the mother for being a fake and a scoundrel, his father killed her!
