Mariachi Serenade
B: Bernardo P: Porfirio
B: How are you Porfirio?
Q: What happened Bernardo?
B: Well, here I am, I came to serenade my little girl who lives here in this hamlet
P: Well, what a coincidence, mine also lives in this hamlet
B: And are you also a serenade?
P: Well, look, yes, but look, no
B: And why not?
Q: I don't have enough money to hire musicians
B: But, man, between firecrackers, between quotas, troubles
Q: Between friends
B: Among those, let's share my mariachi
Q: Share your ma... Well, thanks Bernardo!
B: Well, I'll lend you my mariachi!
Q: Thank you Bernardo!
B: Well, you start first!
P: Well, thanks!
B: Bernard!
Q: Bernard!
B: Mariachi music!
P: Ten days and ten nights to my port on fire
This charro has come from Guadalajara
And although I am very sore, the effort has been worth it
Well, your love has left me stupid
Come on Bernardo, sing to yours right now!
B: Well, thanks
I have crossed the states of Chihuahua, Tamaulipas and
Aguascalientes
Guanajuato, Durango and Zacatecas, with love and a carnation between our teeth
Galloping I have crossed so many states, so many endless states
I swallowed the carnation and my condition is pitiful
P: At the foot of the fence, B: At the foot of the balcony
P: With soul and art, B: I am standing
P: My dark virgin, B: My beautiful cutie
P: I come to sing to you, B: Your love has struck me
P: Well, I want to take you, B: I'm stuck
P: Mesmito to the church, B: With such an adventure
B+P: Well, I want to tell you that my soul appreciates you, María Lucrecia
B: How?
Q: Huh?
B: Huh?
Q: Hey bro, Maria Lucrecia is my little one!
B: Well, it's not your shorty!
P: Hey, she's my little girl!
B: Well, look Porfirio, we'll see who María Lucrecia prefers
Q: Come on!
B: I feel like your smile and those teeth tie me to you
The profile of your nose and your innocent breasts
Q: Your beloved dark, messy hair
Clear image of a hook that I bit with fascination
B: Get out of here Porfirio!
Q: I'm not going out at all!
B: Get out of here!
Q: I'm not going out!
B: I feel like I'm tied to you
Q: Your beloved hair
B: Your smile and those teeth
Q: Dark, messy
B: The profile of your nose
Q: Clear image of a fish hook
B: And your innocent breasts
Q: I bit fascinated
B: On this night of warm contours
Q: Warm? It's freezing
B: I come to give you
Q: What is this rude guy going to give you?
B: My crazy passion
Q: Didn't I tell you? He calls you crazy
B: If it disturbs your dreams
Q: Of course you disturb him with that crackly voice
B: Forgive me, cutie
Q: He asks you for forgiveness because he feels guilty
B: I come to offer you more
Q: What future awaits you, a street vendor?
B: My love song
P: He's lying, believe me Lucrecia, this charro doesn't love you one bit!
B: And what the hell, with pure tequila, I'll carry you on my back and we'll both go
P: No Bernardo, I'm not going anywhere with you!
B: And if I brag, I also stand by it
Well, everyone backs out
P: Well, I won't be the one to back out!
B: From my big gun
P: From your pi– Yes, it will be me!
B: María Lucrecia, come with me
Q: María Lucrecia, come with me
B+P: Oh Lucrecia, don't back down, I'll offer you
Q: A rose
B: Two geraniums
Q: Six carnations
B: A jungle
Q: A pearl diamond
B: A silver ring
Q: A gold bracelet
B: A uranium bracelet
Q: A storm of passions
B: A raincoat
Q: A bright future
B: Two promising futures
Q: A bucolic setting
B: One, one
P: Well, look, Maria Lucrecia, what I offer you is a tender home
Q: And me
B: Intermediaries refrain
B: Oh Lucrecia, you've gone silent
Q: Listen to me Bernardo, look
B: I feel like I'm already winning you over
P: No. No. No, nothing like that, listen
B: You have remained so still and silent
Q: Hear me Bernardo
B: I can't hear you because I'm singing
P: No, no, no, you shot her
B: I've left you with your eyes blank
Q: Of course she's dead
B: You let out a big sigh
Q: How was it the last one?
B: I feel you dead of love
P: That's it, that's it, she's dead
B: Of love
P: No, not exactly love, look, you killed her
What, what, you killed her!
B: Did I kill her?
Q: All of it
Q: And how?
Q: And just with the shooting
B: Just with the shooting? Just for a few shots, look how weak!
Q: Well you're right!
B+P: The woman who does not want to hear my song has come to me
Ceased to exist
