On an oak table
En una mesa de roble
That Don Rafa carved by hand
Que don Rafa labró a mano
Who would think that in the same
Quién pensaría que en la misma
He entrusted himself into the hands
Se encomendaba en las manos
To a Virgin of ironwood
A una Virgen de palo fierro
And to a laminated Saint Jude
Y a un San Judas enmicado
He put a shot in the pistol
Puso un tiro en la pistola
And he pointed it out in his right hand
Y la precisó en la diestra
Without blinking at the temples
Sin pestañar a las sienes
He pressed her hard
La presionaba con fuerza
He was going to take his life
Iba a quitarse la vida
Teresa died
Se le murió la Teresa
Because of some bandits
Por culpa de unos bandidos
Playing the hawk
Jugándola al gavilán
Tere was taken from her
Le arrebataron a Tere
Wanting to take her away
Queriéndosela llevar
Rafa reacted violently
Rafa reaccionó violento
He started shooting at them
Les empezó a disparar
Two fell on horseback
Cayeron dos de a caballo
And one in a shawl dress
Y uno en vestido de chal
He spoiled the celebrations
Echó a perder los festejos
From that town of the comal
De aquel pueblo del comal
He didn't assimilate the facts
No asimilaba los hechos
Nor kill his beloved
Ni darle muerte a su amada
Pushing to the canyon
De empujón hasta el cañón
He got a sore on his temple
Se hizo en la sien una llaga
With trembling hands
Con las manos temblorosas
Burning tape, I cried
Quemando cinta, lloraba
With the rented hammer
Con el martillo arrendado
And more over there than over here
Y más pa′ allá que pa' acá
About to forgive himself
A punto de perdonarse
For the value to grasp
Para el valor agarrar
He snatched a double sotol
Se arrebiató un sotol doble
It was already decided
Decidido estaba ya
He rolled up his hammer
Arremangóse el martillo
And a snap was heard
Y un chasquido se escuchó
As if it were a miracle
Como si fuera un milagro
The gun didn't fire
La pistola no tronó
Rafa was confused
Rafa quedó confundido
And that door opened
Y aquella puerta se abrió
His little son comes in and says to him
Entra su hijito y le dice
My mom visited me
Me visitó mi mamá
He gave me a kiss and a hug
Me dio un beso y un abrazo
And he led me here
Y me encaminó hasta acá
But this candle told me
Pero me dijo esta vela
Don't give it to dad.
No se la des a papá
