Paroles et traduction Carlos y José - Jacinto Ramos

Jacinto Ramos

En San Antonio, Tejas, miren lo que a pasado
Mataron a Jacinto por andar de enamorado

Jacinto Ramos era, valiente y decido
Cuestión de los amores porque era bien parecido

Andaba en un baile, allá por el "casiano"
Andaba en ese baile la mujer de Feliciano

Conchita se llamaba, y al ver la tan bonita
Jacinto fue a nombrarla pa' bailar una polkita

Concha no le hizo caso, y lo dejo plantado
Jacinto asta temblaba al verse ya despreciado

Y entonces Feliciano, al ver lo que pasaba
Fue sacando poco a poco una daga que el portaba

Jacinto muy valiente, le dio una bofetada
Y entonces Feliciano le metió una puñalada

Jacinto calló al suelo, muriendo en un segundo
Por ser tan pretensioso lo borraron de este mundo

Jacinto Ramos

In San Antonio, Texas, look what has happened
They killed Jacinto for being in love

Jacinto Ramos was, brave and determined
He got into trouble over love because he was handsome

He was at a dance, over at the "Casiano"
Feliciano's wife was at that dance

Her name was Conchita, and when he saw how pretty she was
Jacinto went to ask her to dance a polka

Concha ignored him, and left him standing there
Jacinto was trembling when he saw himself despised

And then Feliciano, seeing what was happening
Slowly pulled out a knife that he carried

Jacinto very bravely, slapped him in the face
And then Feliciano stabbed him

Jacinto fell to the ground, dying in a second
For being so presumptuous they erased him from this world
