Lyrics of La Ley del Monte - Vicente Fernandez

La Ley del Monte (original)

Grabe en la penca de un magey tu nombre
unido al mio, entrelazadoooosss
como una prueba ante la ley del monte
que ahi estuvimos enamoradoooosss
Tu misma fuiste quien busco la penca
la mas bonita, la mas esbelta
y hasta dijiste que tambien grabara
dos corazones con una flecha…
Ahora dices q ya no te acuerdas,
que nada es cierto, que son palaaaabraaaas
yo estoy trankilo porque
al fin de cuenta en nuestro ilirio
las pencas hablaaaannn.
La misma noche que mi amor cambiaste,
tambien cortaste aquella pencaaa
te imaginaste que si la veias pa'
ti seria como una frenta
se te olvidaba q el magey sabia
lo que juraste en nuestra nocheeee
y que a su modo el tambien podria
recriminarte con un reproche
Nose si creas las extrañas cosas, que ven
mis ojos talves te asombreeeeesss
las pencas nuevas q al magey le brotan
vienen marcadas con nuestros nombreeeesss.

(translation)

Engrave your name on the stalk of a magey
joined to mine, intertwined
as a test before the law of the mount
that we were in love there
You yourself were the one who looked for the penca
the most beautiful, the most slender
and you even said that I would also record
two hearts with an arrow…
Now you say that you no longer remember,
that nothing is true, that they are palaaaabraaaas
I am calm because
at last in our Illyrian
the pencas speak.
The same night that my love changed,
you also cut that pencaaa
you imagined that if you saw her pa'
you would be like a forehead
you forgot that the magey knew
what you swore on our night
and that in his own way he could also
recriminate you with a reproach
I don't know if you believe the strange things, what do you see
my eyes may amaze you
the new leaves that magey sprout
They come marked with our names.
