El Día de San Juan
Antonio Aguilar
Saint John's Day
On June 24th, Saint John's Day itself
A dance was being celebrated
In that town of Ixtlan
Micaela, early in the morning
Smiling, says to Juan
Because it's your saint's day
You must take me to the dance
I don't want to offend you
But I have a feeling
That tonight at the dance
The function will be ruined for me
Look Micaela, I'm telling you
Don't go to that gathering
The devil is tempting me
To throw Simon off the plate
Micaela arrived first
Then she started to dance
And chose as her partner
Juan's main rival
(Oh-haha!)
I wouldn't have done it
I wouldn't have done it, Micaela
Because they threw her out
(Ah-ah-ah!)
The hours pass happily
The clock strikes 12
When a gunshot
Pierced two bodies
Fly, fly, little dove
Stop at that cemetery
Where Micaela must be
With her beloved Simon
