Translation of the song lyrics Juana La Traicionera - Los Tigres Del Norte

Juana La Traicionera (original)

Para empezar a cantar
Primero pido un suspiro
Nomas pensando en tu amor
Que me echaste al olvido
Juanita era muy bonita
No se le podia negar
Pero mato a su marido
Por amar la libertad
Ya estando jose dormido
La cobija le saco
Y en la mediacion del pecho
Tres puñaladas le dio
Despues que ella lo mato
Se agachaba y le decia
Ya te moriste jose
Era lo que yo queria
Le revisaron la casa
Como dispuso la ley
Le hallaron una pistola
Y una navaja de muelle
La llevaron a la carcel
Juana con mucho placer
Toda la gente decia
Ay que valor de mujer!
El juez primero le dice
Juanita que es lo que has hecho
Es muy preciso que yo
Te castigue lo malhecho
El juez segundo le dice
Juana dime la verdad
Al cabos no te castigo
Ahi dios te castigara
Ya con esta me despide
Por las cumbres de una higuera
Aqui se acaban los versos
De juana la traicionera

Juana La Traicionera (translation)

to start singing
First I ask for a sigh
Just thinking about your love
that you threw me into oblivion
Juanita was very pretty
She couldn't be denied
But he killed her husband
for loving freedom
already being jose asleep
I take the blanket off
And in the middle of the chest
Three stab wounds she gave him
after she killed him
She crouched down and told him
you died jose
It was what I wanted
they searched the house
as provided by law
They found a gun
And a switchblade knife
They took her to jail
Joan with great pleasure
all the people said
Oh, what a woman's worth!
The judge first tells you
Juanita, what have you done?
It is very precise that I
You punish the wrongdoing
The second judge tells him
Joan tell me the truth
After all I don't punish you
Oh god will punish you
With this he fires me
Through the tops of a fig tree
Here the verses end
Of Juana the treacherous
