Las Tres Mujeres

There is a legend told
That in the ranch of Canales
Three women appear
Who in life were rivals
They stabbed each other
There among the mesquites
The cause of their deaths
Was called Santos Valdez
To each of the three separately
He would say he loved them
But he didn't love any
He just deceived them
Rosita was from the coast
From Charco Azul, Maria Ines
Estela was from Reynosa
The fiercest of the three
She said I'd rather lose my life
Than Santos Valdez

They say in Laguna Seca
When people passed by
They heard women's screams
As the sun set
It was those brave women
Who now haunted as dead
Santos Valdez went to their graves
To ask for forgiveness
He prayed his prayers
With all his heart
And who would have thought
He would die in the cemetery
Rosita was from the coast
From Charco Azul, Maria Ines
Estela was from Reynosa
The fiercest of the three
She said I'd rather lose my life
Than Santos Valdez
