Un recuerdo me trajo
Al viejo callejón,
Y tan sólo vengo
Compañero, a buscarla.
Ya no puedo sin ella
La vida, soportar,
Y yo quiero, hermano
Su cariño reconquistar.
 
Por su amor soy capaz de pelear
Al varón más varón de la tierra,
Ya no van a decir que lloré de dolor
Al perderla por flojo.
Ya verán como yo me la llevo
Bastará con silbar en la puerta,
Y en la noche se jugaron
Dos rivales, la mujer.
Uno gana la partida
Y otro muere, por querer.

English translation

A memory brought me
To the old alley,
And I just come
Companion, to look for her.
I can no longer without her
Life, to endure,
And I want, brother
To win back her love.
 
For her love I am able to fight
The manliest man on earth,
They'll no longer say that I wept with grief
When I lost her because I was lazy.
You'll see how I'll take her away
It will be enough to whistle at the door,
And in the night they played
Two rivals, the woman.
One wins the game
And another dies, for wanting.
