Paroles et traduction Chavela Vargas - Lucio Vázquez

Lucio Vázquez

Volaron los pavoreales
Rumbo a la sierra mojada,
Mataron a lucio Vázquez
Por una mujer que amaba.
A las nueve de la noche
Estaba el Lucio cenando,
Y llegaron unos amigos
A convidarlo al fandango.
Su madre se lo decía
No vayas a esa reunión,
No vaya a ser que está noche
Te jueguen una traición.
No llores madre querida
Me hace sufrir tu llanto,
Dejamé ver a la ingrata
Que sabes que quiero tanto.
Cuando acabo de cenar
Se inco a pedirle perdon,
Madrecita de mi vida
Echame tu bendición.
Se fueron en sus caballos
Rumbo a la sierra mojada,
Cuando llegaron al baile
Ya su rival lo esperaba.
A las once de la noche
Estaban todos bailando,
También estaba la ingrata
A quien Lucio amaba tanto.
Le invitaron una copa
Que el no quizo aceptar,
Se hicieron ay de palabras
Se salieron a pelear.
Tres puñaladas le dieron
De la espalda al corazón,
Como le dijo su madre
Le pegaron a traición.
Los tres que lo apuñalaron
Se fueron rumbo al potrero,
Carcajeandose de risa
Los tres limpiando su acero.
Madre mia de Guadalupe
De la Villa de Jerez,
Dame licencia señora
De levantarme otra vez.
La virgen se apareció
Dando vuelta a los portales,
Como quieres levantarte
Si son heridad mortales.
Volaron los pavoreales
Rumbo a la sierra mojada,
Mataron a Lucio Vázquez
Por una mujer que amaba.

Lucio Vázquez

The peacocks flew away
Heading for the Sierra Mojada,
They killed Lucio Vázquez
For a woman he loved.
At nine o'clock at night
Lucio was having dinner,
And some friends arrived
To invite him to the fandango.
His mother told him
Don't go to that party,
Don't let them play a trick on you tonight,
Don't let them betray you.
Don't cry, dear Mother
Your tears make me suffer,
Let me see that ungrateful woman
That you know I love so much.
When I finished dinner
I got up to ask for her forgiveness,
Mother of my life
Give me your blessing.
They left on their horses
Heading for the Sierra Mojada,
When they arrived at the dance
His rival was already waiting for him.
At eleven o'clock at night
They were all dancing,
The ungrateful woman was there too
Who Lucio loved so much.
They offered him a drink
Which he did not want to accept,
They exchanged words
And went out to fight.
They stabbed him three times
From the back to the heart,
As his mother told him
They attacked him from behind.
The three who stabbed him
Fled to the pasture,
Laughing out loud
The three cleaning their steel.
Mother of Guadalupe
From the town of Jerez,
Give me permission, madam
To rise again.
The Virgin appeared
Walking around the portals,
How do you want to get up
If your wounds are fatal.
The peacocks flew away
Heading for the Sierra Mojada,
They killed Lucio Vázquez
For a woman he loved.
