Текст и перевод песни Los Lobos - Anselma

Anselma

Cuando te cases con el otro ire a tu boda,
Cuando pregunten en seguida me opendre,
Y si pregunta el jura que porque me opongo,
Yo le dire que porque tu eres mi querer,
Y si se enoja el que ira ser tu esposo.
Saco mi cuete y me pongo a disparar
Al fin y al cabo yo no le tengo a la muerte
Y voy al bote porque soy la autoridad
Ay! Anselma, Anselma, Anselma
Chaparra de mis penares,
O, dejas que te visite
O, te mando a los jendarmes
Y si te niegas a matrimoniar conmigo
Les quiteo el rancho y propiedad de tu papa
Les pongo ipuestos y hasta les quemo la casa
Porque por algo soy aqui la autoridad
Yo ordeno, y mando en todo este munisipio
Yo te lo digo por si quieres escapar
Aya en el otro el que manda es mi tio elijio
No mas le digo y te tiene que agarrar
Ay! Anselma, Anselma, Anselma
Chaparra de mis penares,
O, dejas que te visite
O, te mando a los jendarmes
Y si te niegas a matrimoniar conmigo
Les quiteo el rancho y propiedad de tu papa
Les pongo ipuestos y hasta les quemo la casa
Porque por algo soy aqui la autoridad
Yo ordeno, y mando en todo este munisipio
Yo te lo digo por si quieres escapar
Aya en el otro el que manda es mi tio elijio
No mas le digo y te tiene que agarrar
Ay! Anselma, Anselma, Anselma
Chaparra de mis penares,
O, dejas que te visite
O, te mando a los jendarmes

Anselma

When you get married to another, I will go to your wedding,
When they ask, I will immediately oppose it,
And if the one officiating asks why I oppose it,
I will say that it is because you are my love,
And if the one who is going to be your husband gets angry.
I will take out my gun and start shooting
After all, I am not afraid of death
And I will go to jail because I am the authority
Oh! Anselma, Anselma, Anselma
Shorty of my sorrows,
Either let me visit you
Or I will send the gendarmes for you
And if you refuse to marry me
I will take away your father's ranch and property
I will impose taxes on them and even burn their house down
Because I am the authority here for a reason
I give orders and I command in this whole municipality
I am telling you this in case you want to escape
Over there in the other town, the one who commands is my uncle Elijio
I just tell him and he has to catch you
Oh! Anselma, Anselma, Anselma
Shorty of my sorrows,
Either let me visit you
Or I will send the gendarmes for you
And if you refuse to marry me
I will take away your father's ranch and property
I will impose taxes on them and even burn their house down
Because I am the authority here for a reason
I give orders and I command in this whole municipality
I am telling you this in case you want to escape
Over there in the other town, the one who commands is my uncle Elijio
I just tell him and he has to catch you
Oh! Anselma, Anselma, Anselma
Shorty of my sorrows,
Either let me visit you
Or I will send the gendarmes for you
