Translation of the song lyrics El Engaño - Los Tigres Del Norte

El Engaño (original)

Maria y Jose se querian
Pronto se iban a casar
Jose le dice a Maria
Hablare con tu papa
Para que nos fije el dia
Que he de llevarte al altar
Cuando el papa de Maria
Supo de aquella intencion
Le dijo hijita querida
Escucha esta confesion
Callar esto no podria
Espero tu comprension
A pesar de que tu madre
Es una santa mujer
Yo me he portado cobarde
Y siempre le he sido infiel
Con el no puedes casarte
Pues es mi hijo tambien
Desde ese dia Maria
Ya no hacia mas que llorar
La boda se suspendia
Nadie se podia explicar
Dos que tanto se querian
No se pudieran casar
Con Maria hablaba su madre
No me puedes engañar
Desde que te hablo tu padre
Algo quieres ocultar
Madre voy a lastimarte
Jose es hijo de papa
Hija mia puedes casarte
Ahora te digo porque
Ese al que tu llamas padre
Hace tiempo lo engañe
No llevas su misma sangre
Se muy feliz con Jose

(translation)

Maria and Jose loved each other
They were soon to be married
Jose tells Maria
I'll talk to your dad
For us to fix the day
That I have to take you to the altar
When Maria's father
I knew of that intention
He told her dear daughter
listen to this confession
Shut up this could not
I hope your understanding
Even though your mother
she is a holy woman
I have behaved cowardly
And I have always been unfaithful
You can't marry him
well he is my son too
From that day Mary
I did nothing but cry
The wedding was called off
no one could explain
Two who loved each other so much
they couldn't get married
With Maria her mother spoke
You can not cheat on me
Since your father spoke to you
something you want to hide
mother i'm going to hurt you
Jose is father's son
my daughter can you marry
Now I tell you why
The one you call father
I cheated on him a long time ago
You don't carry his same blood
Be very happy with Jose
