Los Aguaceros de Mayo

The May downpours
Erased the tracks left by the horse
Lost the path followed by the rider

Under the night that rooster
And upon seeing the lightning, thunder, and rays
He only said to himself: It's my lucky night

Rosita, Antonio's daughter
A man with a devilish character
She gave her love to Juan Pablo, the mountain man

Since her father opposed
She decided to risk it even though she knew well
That she was gambling her life in her endeavor

A lightning bolt, suddenly
Painted the shadows of the rider and the colt
And for a moment, they saw each other

Rosita jumped the fence
And on the horse's back, she climbed the saddle
And amidst the storm, they disappeared

Furious Antonio
Where they hit him, it did hurt
It was a great offense what Juan Pablo did

I'll kill them, I swear
Because what they did to me, I assure you
It's like spurring the devil

With the townspeople
I will find them and hang them from a tree
Said the enraged Don Antonio Castro

And he swallowed his anger
The men combed those areas
But the storm swallowed the traces

Hidden in a ravine
Juan Pablo calmly tells his beloved
If they want to find us, here I wait for them

And I tell them one thing
That I stole her to make her my wife
And before they take Rosita, they take my hide
