El Romance De La Niña María Luz

There was none in Santa Cruz
Nor can there be one
Prettier than a beach
That the girl María Luz

And there was no wanting
Bigger and more suffered
That he who had the bandit
From Antonio to Inés
Gypsy by father
Who knows?
He left her captive
For another woman
With less modesty
And more money

And she in her pains
He swore by his faith
Save your loves
To the one from Nazareth

And one afternoon
To the Jesus of great power
She promised to become a nun
My love is only for you
I don't want any more flattery
That I know you are his wife

And from his altar
I speak the good image
Every night a soul in pain
When you go to pray
Looking back
You will see along your steps
The barefoot Christ
Walking towards the par

But the first one sinks in
That Antonio returned
And with bad art
He led her astray
He undressed her like a nun
And then in no time he dressed her

He left as he came
On the wrong path
Singing: María Luz is not a virgin
It doesn't even light up a bit

Poor girl
That to the Jesus of great power
She promised to become a nun
My love is only for you
I don't want any more flattery
That I know you are his wife

But that night
It is no longer time to pray
The sad little eyes
They looked back
And seeing that there were only a few steps
Cry.... And cry

There is blessed Jesus
Give me your forgiveness
I don't want to go alone
Because of my profession
And he answered him
Brunette with little faith
If only she has seen a few steps
They are what my feet have left behind
That you have been carried in your arms
That I have been faithful to you
