Ten cuidado señores
Lo que les voy a cantar
Esto que dioles relato
Es la purita verdad

E ya que tengo presente
Un mes de Marzo occurió
Mil novecientos ochenta
Matilde Sanchez murió

Una mujer tan bonita
Los hombres la pretendía
Ricos y tan novedosos
?

Ella estaba enamorada
De Carlos un campesino
Él también mucho la amaba
Siempre capaz su cariño

Él pidióle su mano
Una anillo pusole
Como provóle su amor
Para hacerla su mujer

?
Amararon a Carlos
A Matilde la violaron
Y luego se la llevaron

Carlos a Dios pidió
Ayúdame por favor
Con su pistola en la mano
A los cuatro hombres mató

Y ando pa' todos lados
?
?
Un contrabando quedó

Carlos se quedó muy triste
Ya estaba muerta su amada
Se pegó un tiro en la frente
Quedando junto su amada

Con el permiso de ustedes
Yo me paso a retirar
Quiero que nunca se olvide
De esta tragedia

Words and music by Gloria Garcia

Pay attention, ladies and gentlemen,
to what I shall sing to you
The story I am going to tell you
it's the truth

And now that I have your attention
It happened in the month of March
In the year nineteen eighty
Matilda Sanchez died

A woman of great beauty
The men wanted her
All rich and noble

She was already in love
With Carlos,a farmer
He loved her also
His love was always capable

He asked her hand in marriage
And put a ring on it
To prove his love to her
To make her his wife

?
They tied Carlos up
They raped Matilda
And then took her

Carlos asked p
"Help me please"
With a pistol in his hand
He killed four men

And he wandered everywhere
?
?
He became a contrabandist

Carlos became very sad
His love is was already dead
He shot himself in the head
Resting by his love's side

With your permission
I'm going to go
I don't want you to ever forget
this tragedy
