A La Brava

Last night Serapio and Tibursio
Came running to inform me
That my girl's mom and dad
Are taking her to the capital.

I saddled my horse and trotted
I ran to find out the truth
I found the little house very sad
Like a child, I started to cry.

Her mom and dad don't want me
And want to marry her off to another
They are looking for me to steal her
By force, I will take her away.

My horse and my dog are sad
Because last night they saw me cry
They know well that men don't cry
But yesterday I couldn't hold back.

Her mom and dad don't want me
And want to marry her off to another
They are looking for me to steal her
By force, I will take her away.

But in the end, I bid you farewell, gentlemen
I carry my faithful heart wounded
By force, I take the young girl
Or maybe I take her by treachery.
