Paroles et traduction Luis Y Julian - Bernardo Mata

Bernardo Mata

Un 24 de junio, en espera de un 25
Ha muerto Bernardo Mata en su caballo retinto
Varios balazos le dieron, calibre 45

Corrió su hermano a llorarle, y en su llanto le decía,
Hermanito de mi vida, mi madre te lo decía
Que te querían matar, pero tú no lo creías

Cuando su esposa llego, recogiéndolo en sus brazos,
Pero a Bernardo encontró, con el pecho hecho pedazos,
Y su caballo alcanzo a caminar unos pasos

Mandaron a un policía, para el pueblo de Linares,
A avisarle al juez de letras, también al señor Morales,
Para levantar el acta, de los hechos criminales

Su pobre esposa lloraba, su madre con más razón,
De ver a su hijo querido, que lo llevan al panteón,
Te vas pedazo de mi alma, hijo de mi corazón.

Bernardo Mata

On June 24th, awaiting the 25th,
Bernardo Mata died on his black horse, my love.
Several bullets hit him, .45 caliber, they say.

His brother ran to mourn him, and in his weeping said,
"Little brother of my life, my mother told you so, dear friend,"
"That they wanted to kill you, but you didn't believe it, my dear."

When his wife arrived, gathering him in her arms,
She found Bernardo, with his chest torn apart, alas,
And his horse managed to walk a few steps, my lass.

They sent a policeman to the town of Linares, you see,
To inform the magistrate, also Mr. Morales, it would be,
To record the events, of the criminal deeds, darling.

His poor wife wept, his mother even more, it's true,
To see her beloved son, taken to the pantheon, my sweet,
You're leaving, piece of my soul, son of my heart, my love, complete.
