Paroles et traduction Salomón Robles y Sus Legendarios - El Campanero

El Campanero

Llegando a la iglesia murió Fausto Peña
Delante de todos cayó de un balazo
Frentito a la puerta una bala certera
Le impidió casarse que triste fracaso.
Cayó boca arriba hablaba y les dijo
Que dios me perdone y me lleve hasta el cielo
A mí me tiraron de allá de la torre
Yo vi con mis ojos que fue el campanero.
Y el campanero de arriba gritaba
Muriendo de rabia con voz muy furiosa
Pregúntenle a Fausto porque lo he matado
El sabe que anoche lo hallé con mi esposa.
Espacio Instrumental
Habló Fausto Peña y les dijo muy claro
Confieso que es cierto ella era mi amante
Les pido a los jueces perdonen a ese hombre
Y a ustedes les ruego que recen por mi alma.
De lo alto se oyeron disparos de otra arma
El cura y la gente subieron corriendo
Vieron a la novia que se daba un tiro
Después de matar ella al campanero.
Llegando a la iglesia murió Fausto Peña
Y arriba en la torre su novia preciosa
Mató al campanero y a nadie condenan
él había matado en la noria a su esposa.

The Bell Ringer

As he reached the church, Fausto Peña died
He fell down in front of everyone after being shot
Right in front of the door, a clean shot
Prevented him from getting married — what a sad failure.
He fell on his back and spoke — he said to them,
“May God forgive me and take me to Heaven
“I was shot from up there, from the tower
“I saw it with my own eyes, it was the bell ringer.”
And the bell ringer shouted from above,
“Dying of rage, with a furious voice,”
“Ask Fausto why I killed him
“He knows I found him with my wife last night.”
Instrumental Break
Fausto Peña spoke and said very clearly,
“I confess it's true, she was my lover
“I ask the judges to forgive that man
“And I beg you to pray for my soul.”
Shots from another gun were heard from above
The priest and the people ran up
They saw the bride shoot herself
After she killed the bell ringer.
As he reached the church, Fausto Peña died
And up in the tower, his beautiful bride
Killed the bell ringer, and no one is condemned
He had killed his wife at the well.
