La Ley Del Monte

I engraved your name on the stem of a maguey
Joined to mine, intertwined
As a test before the law of the mountain
that there we were in love

You yourself were the one who looked for the penca
The prettiest, the most slender
And you even said to also record
Two hearts with an arrow

Now you say that you no longer remember
That nothing is true, that they are words
I am calm because at the end of the day
In our idyll, the leaves speak

The same night that my love you changed
You also cut that stalk
Did you imagine that if they saw her
For you it would be like an affront

You forgot that the maguey knew
What you swore on our night
And that in his own way, he could also
Recriminate you with a reproach

I don't know if you believe the strange things
What do my eyes see, maybe you'll be amazed
The new leaves that sprout from the maguey
They come marked with our names
