La Coyota

En la Sierra de Fresnillocerca del Ojo del Aguase habla de un aparecidoque por las noches de lunaronda cantando su suerteque hoy se pregona en corrido.

La historia que aquí se mientatuvo lugar hace tiempopor culpa de una traidora;que por ser la más bonitay por sus buenos modales,fue muy querida en otrora.

Le apodaban La Coyotaporque a los hombres tanteabacon sus amores jugabay luego los despreciabaPor culpa de ella anda en penael alma de Casimiro,que por creer que era buena,se lo quebraron de un tiro.

Los de su barrio decían"Fíjate bien, Casimirono la tomes como esposaya no es la que tú soñabas,los huracanes de tiempohan deshojado esa rosa".

El amor que le teníale puso un velo en los ojosy pronto se desposaron,pero al salir de la iglesiaChencho y Pomposo Jiménezsin compasión lo mataron.

Le apodaban La Coyotaporque a los hombres tanteabapero pagó sus infamiascon el amor que anhelaba,por un Caballo de copasperdió su espada la sotay aquí termina el corridode la mentada Coyota.

La Coyota

In Sierra de Fresnillonear Ojo del Aguathere's talk of an apparitionthat on moonlit nightswanders around singing her fatethat today is being told in a ballad.

The tale that is mentioned heretook place some time agobecause of a traitress;that for being the most beautifuland for her good manners,was very loved in the past.

They called her La Coyota1because she deceived men,she toyed with her loversand then she would reject themBecause of her there is sorrowin the soul of Casimiro,that for believing she was good,they killed him with one shot.

Those in his neighborhood would tell him:"Watch out, Casimiro,do not take her as a wife,she's no longer what you dreamed of,the hurricanes of timehave depetaled that rose".

The love he had for herput a veil on his eyesand they soon got married,but on leaving the churchChenco and Pomposo Jiménezkilled him without compassion.

They called her La Coyotabecause she deceived men,but she paid for her infamieswith the love she had longed for,for the Knight of Cups2the knave3 lost her sword.And here ends the balladof the lying Coyota.
