Conchita la Viuda Alegre
The Widow Conchita
Calle de la Palma Real
Palm Royal Street
¿Por que estas tan asombrosa?
Why are you so astonishing?
"Por la muerte de un amigo
“Because of the death of a friend
Que lo ha matado su esposa"
Whose wife killed him”
A las once de la noche
At eleven at night
Conchita empezó a pensar
Conchita began to think
Voy a matar mi marido
I am going to kill my husband
Para poderme pasear
So that I can go out and have fun
Cuando ya estaba dormido
When he was already asleep
Conchita se le acercó
Conchita approached him
Perdoname maridito
Forgive me, my husband
Ya tu hora se te llego
Your time has come
Conchita, no seas ingrata
Conchita, don't be ungrateful
¿Por que me vas a matar?
Why are you going to kill me?
"Por un amigo que tienes
"Because of a friend you have
Que va ocupar tu lugar"
Who is going to take your place”
La gente lo presentia
People could sense it
La gente lo comentaba
People talked about it
Ahi viene la viuda alegre
There goes the happy widow
Decian, cuando pasaba
They would say, when she passed by
Luego que ya lo mato
After she killed him
Lo abrazaba y lo movia
She hugged him and moved him
Ahora si ya te moriste
Now you are finally dead
Tesoro, del alma mía
My love
El juez de letras le di
The magistrate told her
"Conchita, no llores mas
"Conchita, don't cry anymore
Mira, yo no te castigo
Look, I am not punishing you
Pues viuda, me gustas mas"
Because as a widow, you are more to my liking”
Entre parranda y parranda
Between parties after parties
Conchita se divertía
Conchita was having fun
Ya se la llevaron presa
They had arrested her
Y de la justicia reia
And she laughed at the justice
Cantaban los criminales
The criminals were singing
Alla en las Islas Marías
Over at the Islas Marías
Pa que escuchara Conchita
So that Conchita could hear
Que alli pasaba unos días
Because she was spending some days there
La gente lo presentia
People could sense it
La gente lo comentaba
People talked about it
Ahi va la viuda alegre
There goes the happy widow
Decian, cuando pasaba
They would say, when she passed by
